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 Peoria 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.
