Arizona drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks (A.R.S. § 28-792), but pedestrians have duties too, and pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505) can apply if you crossed outside a crosswalk. The at-fault driver’s insurer owes your damages, and your own UM/UIM coverage may apply if they’re uninsured. The deadline is generally two years (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.

Not automatically. Drivers must yield in crosswalks (A.R.S. § 28-792), but crossing against a signal or outside a crosswalk can reduce, not bar, your recovery.
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage often applies to pedestrian injuries, worth checking even though you were on foot.
The I-17/Loop 101 interchange anchors heavy traffic through the Deer Valley area of north Phoenix.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Deer Valley include I-17, the Loop 101, and Deer Valley Road. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Deer Valley are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Deer Valley is a district of the City of Phoenix, so claims run against Phoenix rather than a separate city, subject to the 180-day notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, with cases filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. The I-17 and Loop 101 interchange is one of the busiest freight and commuter junctions in the state, and Deer Valley Airport plus the surrounding industrial and distribution parks put a high volume of commercial vehicles onto local arterials. That commercial mix matters in a claim: a crash involving a delivery or fleet vehicle brings employer liability, higher policy limits, and often telematics or dashcam evidence that a private-vehicle case would not have.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including pedestrian accident claims in Desert Ridge and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix.
