Florence Wrongful Death Lawyer

Florence and Wrongful Death Accidents

Florence, Arizona sits in Pinal County roughly 50 miles south of Phoenix, positioned along the US Route 60 corridor that connects Phoenix to Globe and beyond. This rural-suburban community has experienced steady growth, with a population around 26,000 residents who increasingly commute to Scottsdale and Phoenix for work. The Highway 60, combined with local roads like Queen Creek Road and Florence-Casa Grande Highway, creates a network where high-speed collisions are not uncommon. Truck traffic traveling between Phoenix and mining operations in Superior and Globe regularly passes through Florence, and the combination of commercial vehicles, commuter traffic, and rural road conditions has unfortunately led to fatal accidents. When a loved one is killed in a collision—whether involving negligent drivers, underinsured trucking companies, or defective vehicles—the family faces both emotional devastation and serious financial consequences. Understanding your rights in these situations is essential.

Your Legal Rights After a Wrongful Death in Florence

Arizona law allows surviving family members to pursue wrongful death claims when negligence or misconduct causes a person's death. Under Arizona's comparative fault rules, you may still recover damages even if the deceased was partially at fault, though your award will be reduced proportionally. The critical detail: Arizona imposes a two-year statute of limitations on wrongful death lawsuits, meaning you must file within 24 months of your loved one's death or lose your right forever. Recoverable damages include medical and funeral expenses, lost wages and benefits the deceased would have earned, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
