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.

Yuma and Car Accidents

Yuma County, located in southwestern Arizona near the California and Mexico borders, presents unique driving challenges that contribute to car accidents in the region. The county seat of Yuma sits along Interstate 8, a major east-west corridor that connects San Diego to Phoenix and beyond. This heavily trafficked highway, combined with U.S. Route 95 running north-south through the area, creates intersections and merge points where collisions frequently occur. The rural character of much of Yuma County means longer stretches of open road where drivers may travel at higher speeds, and seasonal agricultural traffic adds unpredictability to local roads. Winter months bring an influx of snowbird visitors unfamiliar with Arizona driving conditions, while summer heat can impair driver reaction times and vehicle performance. These factors combine to make Yuma a community where car accident injuries happen with unfortunate regularity.

Your Legal Rights After a Car Accident in Yuma

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Arizona's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though it is wise to act sooner to preserve evidence and witness statements. You may recover economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering.
