Wrongful Death law in Arizona

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 Tempe 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).

Tempe wrongful death, frequently asked questions

Who can file a wrongful death claim after a Tempe death?

Arizona sets a priority: surviving spouse first, then children, then parents; if none, the estate’s personal representative files (A.R.S. § 12-612).

How long do we have to file?

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.
