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.
Grand Avenue’s diagonal at-grade crossings and the fast-growing Loop 303 corridor make Surprise a high-collision area on the northwest edge of the Valley.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Surprise include Grand Avenue (US 60), Loop 303, and Bell Road. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Surprise are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Surprise sits on the northwest edge of the Valley in Maricopa County, where the older Grand Avenue diagonal crosses the newer north-south grid at oblique angles that limit sight lines. Claims are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and a claim against the City of Surprise requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The Loop 303 corridor has drawn rapid residential and distribution-center growth, adding both commuter and commercial truck volume to roads that were rural a decade ago. Surprise Stadium brings spring training traffic in February and March, and the city’s large retirement communities mean a higher share of pedestrian and older-driver collisions than the Valley average.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including pedestrian accident claims in Tolleson and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix.
