Common Questions about Wrongful Death Cases in Arizona
When can a wrongful death lawsuit be filed in Arizona?
The Arizona wrongful death statute says an action (a lawsuit) can be filed when a person’s death is caused by the “wrongful act, neglect or default” of another party and that act would have entitled the injured person to recover damages for injury if death had not occurred.
Who can recover damages for wrongful death?
​The spouse, child or children, and parent or guardian of a wrongful death victim may file a wrongful death lawsuit in Arizona. An action may also be brought by the representative of the person’s estate on behalf of the estate.
How much can you recover in an Arizona wrongful death action?
Article II § 31 of the Arizona State Constitution prohibits any state laws limiting the amount that can be recovered in a wrongful death action. When a case is taken to trial, Arizona law permits the jury to award damages it deems “fair and just” based on the injury to surviving parties and other relevant circumstances.
​
Whether a wrongful death case is settled or taken to court, factors considered when calculating the amount of damages may include loss of income/wages, medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, property damage, and pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may also be considered.
How can an Arizona wrongful death lawyer help?
A lawyer can help you determine if you are eligible to file a wrongful death action, gather supporting evidence, file your claim, correspond and negotiate with opposing parties and debtors, represent you in hearings, and generally provide support throughout the legal process.
