Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a heartbreaking experience. In Arizona, the family members of the deceased may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim.

In Arizona, only certain individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Each party may seek compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and the emotional suffering that stems from the loss. The legal process can become more complex in blended families, which are more common in rapidly expanding areas like West Phoenix.

• The spouse of the deceased
• The children of the deceased
• The parents or legal guardians of the deceased
• The personal representative of the deceased’s estate

Arizona law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on wrongful death claims, meaning that the lawsuit must be filed within two years of the victim’s death. However, cases involving government entities, such as accidents involving public transportation or government negligence, must adhere to stricter deadlines, typically within 180 days of the incident.
