Arizona’s General Deadline for Injury Claims

In most cases, Arizona law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. This is known as the statute of limitations.

If you wait too long, you may lose the ability to pursue compensation, even if your injuries are serious.

You can visit the AZ Crash Solutions homepage for an overview of our injury services.

Why Waiting Can Cause Problems

Even though the law allows two years, waiting can make your case more challenging. Delays can affect:

• Access to evidence
• Witness availability
• Insurance evaluations
• Medical documentation
• Memory of the event

People often reach out earlier because it helps them avoid these issues.

Symptoms Often Develop Over Time

Neck pain, back pain, headaches, dizziness, and mobility changes commonly appear days or weeks after a collision. If you wait too long to seek care, insurance companies may question whether your symptoms are connected to the accident.

Claims Involving Government Vehicles Have Different Deadlines

If the accident involved a city, county, or state vehicle, Arizona may require a Notice of Claim within a much shorter timeframe, sometimes as soon as 180 days. These cases have specific rules that must be followed.
