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.
With ASU and dense nightlife around Mill Avenue, Tempe sees a high rate of pedestrian and bicycle collisions alongside its freeway crashes.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Tempe include I-10, US 60, Loop 101, Loop 202, and busy surface streets like Mill Avenue and Rural Road. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Tempe are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Tempe is the densest city in Arizona and its injury pattern reflects that: Arizona State University concentrates pedestrian, bicycle, and scooter traffic around Mill Avenue, Apache Boulevard, and University Drive, and the light rail line runs at street level through the middle of it. Cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and a claim against the City of Tempe requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Mill Avenue’s bar district drives a higher rate of late-night pedestrian and impaired-driving collisions than surrounding cities, and shared e-scooters add a category of claim where liability may involve the rider, a driver, and the scooter operator.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including pedestrian accident claims in Agritopia and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix.
