  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent injuries

In Arizona, if you were a pedestrian injured by a negligent motorist you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. In some instances the deadline may differ — for example, if a government vehicle caused your injuries your claim must be filed within 180 days. It is important to hire an attorney 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.
