Where would my case be heard?
Arizona's booming residential and commercial construction market produces high construction accident rates — workers have 2 years to file civil lawsuits, and Arizona's pure comparative fault system allows recovery even with partial worker fault
Arizona applies pure comparative fault (A.R.S. § 12-2505), meaning workers can recover even if partially at fault, with damages reduced proportionally. Arizona has experienced explosive construction growth in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas, creating significant construction accident volume. Federal OSHA governs Arizona construction sites — Arizona does not have an approved state occupational safety plan for private sector employment. Phoenix and Scottsdale have seen high rates of residential and commercial construction injuries. Cases are filed in Arizona Superior Court. Heat-related illness combined with construction accidents is a unique Arizona hazard worth documenting.
