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.
Winter-visitor traffic and cross-border commerce swell Yuma’s roads, especially along I-8 and US 95.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see pedestrian accidents in Yuma include I-8, US 95, 4th Avenue, and 16th Street. Serious pedestrian accident injury claims arising in Yuma are generally litigated in the Yuma County Superior Court.
Yuma is in Yuma County, so cases are filed in Yuma County Superior Court and a claim against the City of Yuma or Yuma County requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Interstate 8 and US 95 carry heavy commercial truck traffic between California and the Phoenix and Tucson markets, and agricultural equipment on rural roads adds slow-moving-vehicle collisions uncommon elsewhere. Yuma’s winter visitor population swells the city between November and March, adding unfamiliar drivers and a higher share of older pedestrians. Proximity to the border and to California also raises out-of-state insurance and jurisdiction questions more often than in other Arizona cities.
If your pedestrian accident happened outside Yuma, we take pedestrian accident claims in Fortuna Foothills and pedestrian accident claims in Phoenix as well.
