In Arizona, if you were injured in a Car Accident you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. In some instances the deadline to file a claim may differ. For example if a government vehicle caused the crash your claim must be filed within 180 days. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is filed on time. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver.

Payson and Car Accidents

Nestled in Gila County at an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet, Payson sits along Arizona State Route 87, a winding mountain corridor that connects the town to Phoenix and Scottsdale below. This scenic highway, while beautiful, presents genuine hazards for drivers unfamiliar with steep grades, sharp curves, and sudden weather changes that can make conditions treacherous year-round. Payson's character as a small, rural mountain community means many residents and visitors navigate narrow roads with limited passing opportunities, increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions and head-on accidents. Additionally, the seasonal influx of tourists during summer months and winter weekends adds congestion to roads designed for lighter traffic, creating bottlenecks where distracted driving and speeding contribute to serious accidents. Local drivers understand that a momentary lapse in attention on Highway 87 can have catastrophic consequences, making professional legal guidance essential when injuries occur.
