Where to File in Arizona
Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-611 creates the wrongful death cause of action and allows surviving spouse, children, and parents to file. Arizona imposes no cap on wrongful death damages — neither economic nor non-economic. Maricopa County (Phoenix) handles the largest volume of wrongful death cases in the state, driven by high traffic fatality rates, rapid construction growth, and a large and growing population. Arizona's extreme summer heat also contributes to construction workplace deaths.
