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).

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.
US 95 carries heavy agricultural and cross-border traffic through Somerton.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Somerton include US 95 and Main Street. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Somerton are generally litigated in the Yuma County Superior Court.
Somerton is in Yuma County, so cases are filed in Yuma County Superior Court and a claim against the City of Somerton requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The city sits in the middle of one of Arizona’s most intensive agricultural districts, and the roads reflect it: slow-moving tractors and harvest equipment, worker transport vans, and irrigation crossings mix with ordinary traffic on US 95 and Main Street. Winter is the busy season, with produce trucking at its peak and the regional population swollen by seasonal workers and visitors. Distance to trauma care in Yuma affects both injury outcomes and how quickly a claim can be documented.
