WHAT IS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR FILING A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN ARIZONA?
A: You usually have two years. That’s how long the statute of limitations runs for personal injury claims in Arizona. But you shouldn’t wait to file a claim. If you wait longer than that to file a claim against the responsible party, you can’t get any money. If you have a claim against a public entity (i.e., the government), you have to file a claim within 180 days from the date of the accident, or you’ll give up your right to get anything.
