As an injured motorcycle accident victim seeking financial compensation for your losses, it is your responsibility to file your claim before Arizona’s deadline passes. Like all states, Arizona has a law known as a statute of limitations that places a strict time limit on the right to file a claim with the civil courts.
In Arizona, you have no more than two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file an injury claim. If you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Scottsdale after the passing of a loved one in a fatal motorcycle crash, you will have two years from his or her date of death to file. It is critical to speak to a Scottsdale motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible after a motorcycle accident, as missing your deadline means giving up the right to recover compensation, in most cases.
