A wrongful death claim may be filed if your family member has died as a result of someone else's negligence.
Under Arizona law, the surviving spouse, surviving children, surviving parents/legal guardians, or personal representative on behalf of any of these parties have the right to file a wrongful death claim. The civil lawsuit must be filed within two years of the death and if the lawsuit is not timely filed you will lose your ability to obtain a recovery.
How can hiring an attorney be beneficial?
The unexpected loss of a loved one is a traumatic event. Many times the thought of legal action is the last thing that's considered as family members deal with the emotional and financial effects of the tragedy. Although monetary compensation cannot truly compensate for the loss of a loved one, it may ease some of the financial burden and stress resulting from the loss.
An attorney can ensure you receive the compensation to which you are entitled, this may include the following:
Medical expenses prior to death
Loss of consortium or parental guidance

Wrongful Death Accidents in Glendale, Arizona
Glendale is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Phoenix metro area, and with that growth comes increased traffic, construction hazards, and unfortunately, fatal accidents. Major corridors like Loop 101, Bell Road, Grand Avenue (US-60), and 43rd Avenue see heavy congestion and serious collisions year-round. The Westgate Entertainment District and areas surrounding State Farm Stadium draw large volumes of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, creating additional risks. When a loved one is killed due to someone else's negligence — whether in a car crash, a trucking accident, a slip and fall, or a workplace incident — Arizona law gives surviving family members the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for the losses they have suffered.
Why Glendale Families Need a Local Wrongful Death Attorney
Wrongful death cases in Glendale are governed by Arizona's wrongful death statute, A.R.S. § 12-611, which allows certain surviving family members — including spouses, children, and parents — to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages. These cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and navigating the local court system, judges, and procedural requirements demands an attorney who understands the landscape. Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning insurers will aggressively attempt to shift blame onto the deceased to reduce or eliminate a payout. Having a lawyer who knows how local adjusters and defense firms operate in Glendale and the greater Maricopa County area can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
