In Arizona, you have two years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you do not file your lawsuit within this time period, you will be barred from doing so and will not be able to recover any compensation for your injuries.
There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you were a minor at the time of the accident, you may have more time to file a lawsuit. Additionally, if the other driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident, you may have more time to file suit under Arizona's dram shop laws.
If you have been injured in a car accident, it is important that you speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help ensure that your rights are protected and can help maximize your chances of recovering compensation for your injuries.
