What is the statute of limitations for injury cases in Arizona?

The statute of limitations is the legal deadline by which you must file a lawsuit. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury or the incident that caused the injury. This means that if you’ve been injured in a car accident, for example, you typically have two years from the date of the collision to file your claim.

Exceptions to the Statute of Limitations

While the two-year statute of limitations applies in most cases, there are some exceptions. In rare instances, the statute of limitations may begin later if you were not immediately aware of your injuries. This could happen if your injuries were not apparent right away or were diagnosed at a later date. However, these exceptions are limited and must meet specific legal criteria.

Why Acting Quickly Is Important

It’s crucial to act quickly if you’ve been injured. Waiting too long to file a claim can result in losing your right to seek compensation for your injuries. Once the statute of limitations has passed, you are generally barred from filing a lawsuit, regardless of the severity of your injuries or the strength of your case.
