Arizona’s wrongful death statute (A.R.S. §§ 12-611 to 12-613) lets a surviving spouse, children, or parents, in that priority, bring a single claim for a Bullhead City family’s loss. A separate survival action (A.R.S. § 14-3110) recovers the deceased’s own pre-death losses. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death (A.R.S. § 12-542). Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident (A.R.S. § 12-542), and a claim involving a city, county or the state requires a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Because Arizona applies pure comparative negligence, an insurer assigning you part of the blame reduces what you recover rather than ending the claim, which is why adjusters raise it early. Consultations are free and there is no fee unless we win.
Arizona wrongful death statute: who can file →
Arizona sets a priority: surviving spouse first, then children, then parents; if none, the estate’s personal representative files (A.R.S. § 12-612).
Generally two years from the date of death (A.R.S. § 12-542); a government-entity claim requires a Notice of Claim within 180 days.
SR 95 along the river and SR 68 toward Laughlin carry heavy casino and tourist traffic through Bullhead City.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see wrongful deaths in Bullhead City include SR 95 and SR 68. Serious wrongful death injury claims arising in Bullhead City are generally litigated in the Mohave County Superior Court.
Bullhead City is in Mohave County, so cases are filed in Mohave County Superior Court rather than Maricopa, and a claim against the City of Bullhead City requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The city sits on the Colorado River directly across from Laughlin, Nevada, and that produces a claim mix unlike the rest of Arizona: casino traffic crossing the river late at night, a high share of out-of-state drivers and insurers, and questions about which state law applies when a crash involves a Nevada driver or policy. SR 95 and Bullhead Parkway carry the bulk of local traffic, and off-road and recreational vehicles add to the volume on weekends.
If your wrongful death happened outside Bullhead City, we take wrongful death claims in Colorado City and wrongful death claims in Phoenix as well.
