What is the deadline in Arizona?

Arizona has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under A.R.S. § 12-542. The discovery rule tolls the limitations period for latent toxic exposure injuries until the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury and its PFAS-related cause. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
