Arizona Personal Injury Law: What Applies in Anthem

Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, one of the most claimant favorable standards in the country. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault with no threshold that bars recovery entirely. The standard statute of limitations for personal injury in Arizona is two years from the date of injury under A.R.S. § 12-542. Claims against a government entity including Maricopa County or ADOT for a highway defect on I-17 require a written Notice of Claim within 180 days of the injury under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Missing that 180-day window bars the claim against the public entity entirely even if the two year deadline has not passed. Given how much of Anthem’s accident volume occurs on I-17, the government claim deadline comes up regularly in this market. Anthem cases are typically filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. An attorney who appears there regularly knows the local procedures and how Maricopa County juries evaluate damages.

Types of Injury Claims Handled in Anthem

Motor Vehicle Accidents

I-17 through Anthem carries substantial commercial truck and commuter traffic between the Phoenix metro and northern Arizona. High-speed highway crashes, commercial truck accidents involving federal motor carrier regulations, and exit ramp collisions near the Anthem Way interchange are among the most common vehicle accident categories. Surface street crashes on Daisy Mountain Drive and through the community’s commercial corridor are also frequent.

Premises Liability

Property owners in Arizona owe a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions. Slip and fall claims at Anthem’s retail and dining areas, inadequate lighting in commercial parking areas, and dog bites are common premises liability claims in this community. Arizona holds dog owners strictly liable for bites regardless of whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous.

Workplace Injuries

Arizona requires most employers to carry workers compensation coverage. When a third party including a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner contributed to a workplace injury, a separate personal injury claim may exist alongside or beyond workers compensation benefits.

Wrongful Death

Arizona’s wrongful death statute allows surviving family members to bring a claim for loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral and burial expenses. Family members of a fatal accident victim can have the case reviewed by an attorney in the network to determine what compensation may be available.
