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 El Mirage 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.

Grand Avenue’s high-speed diagonal route through El Mirage is a frequent site of serious collisions.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see wrongful deaths in El Mirage include Grand Avenue (US 60), Thunderbird Road, and El Mirage Road. Serious wrongful death injury claims arising in El Mirage are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
El Mirage is its own incorporated city in Maricopa County, not part of Surprise or Peoria, which matters when identifying the correct public-entity defendant in a roadway or maintenance claim. A claim against the City of El Mirage requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, and suit within one year, far shorter than the ordinary two-year deadline. Grand Avenue crosses the local street grid diagonally here, creating skewed intersections with restricted sight lines and unusual signal timing at El Mirage Road and Thunderbird. The city grew quickly around older agricultural roads, so residential traffic now shares arterials that still carry farm equipment and truck movements.
Injuries do not stop at the city line. We also handle wrongful death claims in Estrella and wrongful death claims in Phoenix.
