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 Goodyear 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.

High-traffic corridors where we frequently see wrongful deaths in Goodyear include I-10, Loop 303, Estrella Parkway, and McDowell Road. Serious wrongful death injury claims arising in Goodyear are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Goodyear is in Maricopa County along the I-10 corridor, with cases filed in Maricopa County Superior Court and a 180-day public-entity notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01 where the City of Goodyear is a defendant. Rapid residential growth around Estrella has added commuter volume to Estrella Parkway, Litchfield Road, and Bullard Avenue, and the I-10 interchanges at Estrella and Litchfield are recurring collision points. Goodyear Ballpark brings spring training traffic in February and March, and nearby distribution and manufacturing facilities add commercial truck volume to arterials shared with residential traffic.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including wrongful death claims in Litchfield Park and wrongful death claims in Phoenix.
