01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Arizona?

Arizona personal injury SOL: 2 years (ARS § 12-542). Minor tolling: SOL tolled until age 18, then 2-year SOL runs — child's claim expires at age 20 (ARS § 12-502). Wrongful death: 2 years from death (ARS § 12-542). A lawyer can confirm yours.

Age 20 for surviving minor's personal injury claim; 2 years from death for wrongful death

Arizona follows pure comparative fault — recovery permitted regardless of plaintiff's percentage of fault (ARS § 12-2505). No cap on compensatory damages in Arizona product liability cases.

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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Arizona's 2-year personal injury SOL is tolled for minors until age 18 — surviving NEC children have until age 20 to file. Arizona follows pure comparative fault. Arizona's major NICU facilities are concentrated in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Arizona does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases, making it a favorable jurisdiction for high-value NEC claims.
