For all car accident claims, there is a deadline by which you must file your lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you will no longer be able to pursue a car accident lawsuit, meaning you won’t be able to collect any monetary compensation to help you with losses related to the accident. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is 2 years from the date of the accident.
In limited circumstances, the deadline may be extended or decreased. It’s important to talk to a lawyer right away so you can make sure you don’t miss this deadline and miss out on what is rightfully yours.
