Car Accidents law in Arizona

Arizona is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused your Scottsdale crash, and their insurer, owes your damages. Under pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505) you can recover even if you were partly at fault, with your award reduced by your share. Every driver must carry at least $25,000/$50,000 in liability coverage (A.R.S. § 28-4009), and you generally have two years to file (A.R.S. § 12-542). Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident (A.R.S. § 12-542), and a claim involving a city, county or the state requires a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Because Arizona applies pure comparative negligence, an insurer assigning you part of the blame reduces what you recover rather than ending the claim, which is why adjusters raise it early. Consultations are free and there is no fee unless we win.

Scottsdale car accident, frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Arizona?

Generally two years from the date of the crash (A.R.S. § 12-542). If a government vehicle or entity is involved, a Notice of Claim is due within 180 days.

What if I was partly at fault for the Scottsdale crash?

Arizona’s pure comparative negligence rule (A.R.S. § 12-2505) still lets you recover, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.

Car accidents in Scottsdale: local context

Fast-moving north–south corridors like Scottsdale Road and Pima Road, plus the Loop 101, are frequent sites of serious collisions in Scottsdale.

High-traffic corridors where we frequently see car accidents in Scottsdale include Loop 101 (the Pima Freeway), Scottsdale Road, Shea Boulevard, and Pima Road. Serious car accident injury claims arising in Scottsdale are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.

Scottsdale runs narrow and long, roughly 30 miles north to south, so conditions vary sharply by district. Old Town concentrates nightlife, bar traffic, and pedestrians around Scottsdale Road and Indian School; north Scottsdale is high-speed arterial driving on Pima, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Loop 101. Claims are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and if the City of Scottsdale is a defendant, because of a roadway defect or a city vehicle, the public-entity notice of claim is due within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Spring training at Salt River Fields and Scottsdale Stadium, plus the Barrett-Jackson and Waste Management Open weeks, sharply raise traffic and impaired-driving volume in February and March.

If your car accident happened outside Scottsdale, we take car accident claims in South Scottsdale and car accident claims in Phoenix as well.
