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.
Tucson’s wide, high-speed arterials such as Speedway and Broadway, combined with the I-10/I-19 interchange, are common crash locations.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Tucson include I-10, I-19, Speedway Boulevard, and Broadway Boulevard. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Tucson are generally litigated in the Pima County Superior Court.
Tucson sits in Pima County, so cases here are filed in Pima County Superior Court rather than Maricopa, and a claim against the City of Tucson or Pima County requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The street grid is dominated by long east-west arterials, Speedway, Broadway, and 22nd, that carry high volumes at 40 mph and above through residential stretches. The University of Arizona campus concentrates pedestrian, bicycle, and scooter traffic, and Tucson’s extensive bike network means cyclist collisions make up a larger share of claims here than in most Arizona cities. Winter visitors add unfamiliar drivers between November and March.
Injuries do not stop at the city line. We also handle pedestrian accident claims in Vail and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix.
