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 Glendale 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 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.
Grand Avenue’s diagonal crossings and event traffic around State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena contribute to Glendale’s collision rate.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see wrongful deaths in Glendale include Loop 101 (the Agua Fria Freeway), US 60 (Grand Avenue), I-17, and Bell Road. Serious wrongful death injury claims arising in Glendale are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Glendale is in Maricopa County, with cases filed in Maricopa County Superior Court and a 180-day public-entity notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01 if the City of Glendale is a defendant. Grand Avenue cuts diagonally across the street grid, creating six-way intersections with unusual signal timing and restricted sight lines, notably at Grand and 59th and Grand and Bethany Home. The sports and entertainment district around State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena produces concentrated event traffic and a higher share of impaired-driving collisions on game and concert nights, particularly along Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including wrongful death claims in Goodyear and wrongful death claims in Phoenix.
