Injured in an Auto Accident in Prescott or Sedona? Call Evans Garrey
Unfortunately, car accidents are all too common occurrences. Every day, thousands of individuals are involved in automobile accidents on our nation’s highways, freeways, and roads. Often, these collisions lead to extensive injury and even death.
There are many factors that may lead to a car accident, including careless or reckless behavior. Negligence can take the form of distracted driving, alcohol-related collisions, careless commercial vehicle drivers, and even defective automobile parts, such as tires, seatbelts, or airbags.

The Flagstaff car accident attorneys at Evans Garrey can assess the details of your case in order to determine fault and pursue the justice you deserve.

Understanding Arizona's Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents
As a general guideline, it’s best to contact an experienced lawyer after a car accident as soon as possible. There are a couple reasons for this, the first being the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is a law which is implemented on a state by state basis which determines a specific timeline when personal injury cases can be filed.
According to the Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-542 the state of Arizona has a two-year timeline. This means you have two years to file your claim and if you try to file a claim outside of this two-year period, you will most likely be unable to do so. There are some exceptions to this law where the filing time may change, including:
- If the injury victim is a minor at the time of the accident
- The negligent party left the state before a claim could be filed
Beyond the statute of limitations, which applies to all personal injury claims, car accident injuries are different than other injuries covered by personal injury law in that they are most usually soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries are injuries that affect the tendons, ligaments and muscles, such as whiplash. Like whiplash, these types of injuries typically progressively get worse over a few days or even weeks after the injury occurred.
Because of this, many injury victims sign a compensation agreement with an insurance company before talking to a lawyer only to discover later that their injuries are worse than they initially believed but are not able to recover any additional compensation to cover their additional costs.
