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.
Shopping and freeway traffic around the Loop 101 and Tatum Boulevard concentrate collisions in Desert Ridge.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Desert Ridge include the Loop 101, Tatum Boulevard, and SR 51 (the Piestewa Freeway). Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Desert Ridge are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Desert Ridge is a district of the City of Phoenix rather than a separate municipality, so a roadway or maintenance claim runs against Phoenix, with the 180-day notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, and cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. The area concentrates an unusual amount of activity into a small footprint: the Loop 101 and Tatum interchange, the Desert Ridge Marketplace with its large surface parking fields, hotel and resort traffic, and a major hospital campus. That mix produces a high share of parking lot collisions, pedestrian strikes at marketplace crossings, and turning-movement crashes on Tatum and Deer Valley Road.
Injuries do not stop at the city line. We also handle pedestrian accident claims in New River and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix.
