#1 — How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Arizona?
In Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (A.R.S. § 12-542). If your claim is against a government entity — a city, county, or state employee — you must file a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, or your claim is barred forever.
Miss either deadline and your case is over before it starts. Talk to a Phoenix car accident lawyer the same week — preserving evidence and meeting statutory notice deadlines is the difference between a settlement and a closed file.
#2 — What Is Arizona’s Comparative Negligence Rule?
Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state under A.R.S. § 12-2505. You can recover damages even if you are 99% at fault — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Most states cut you off at 50%. Arizona does not. That’s why insurance adjusters work so hard to assign you fault: every percentage point they push onto you, they keep.

Premises Liability — Slip, Trip, and Fall in Arizona

#6 — Frequently Asked Questions About Phoenix Car Accident Claims
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Phoenix?
Call 911, get medical attention, photograph the scene, get witness contact info, and do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before you talk to a lawyer. Arizona insurers — including the at-fault driver’s carrier — will call within 24-48 hours. Anything you say is recorded and used to reduce your claim.
Do I need a Phoenix car accident lawyer after a minor accident?
Yes, if you were injured. Insurance Research Council studies have consistently shown represented claimants receive substantially more than unrepresented claimants, even after fees. Insurers settle small cases cheap because most people don’t know what their case is worth.
How much does a Phoenix car accident lawyer cost at GAMESQ?
GAMESQ works on contingency: 36% of the recovery through trial, with no upfront cost. You pay nothing unless we win. Case costs (medical records, experts, filing fees) are advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the recovery.
What is Arizona’s statute of limitations for a car accident?
Two years from the date of the accident under A.R.S. § 12-542. Claims against government entities are subject to a 180-day notice-of-claim deadline under A.R.S. § 12-821.01.
How is GAMESQ different from billboard law firms in Phoenix?
GAMESQ caps caseload at 60 active matters and is led personally by an AV-rated, trial-ready attorney — not by paralegals processing volume. Billboard firms run on settlement-mill economics: settle fast, settle cheap, move on. GAMESQ runs on maximum-recovery economics.
Does GAMESQ handle wrongful death cases in Arizona?
Yes. Garrick McFadden has personally resolved Arizona wrongful death matters under A.R.S. § 12-611, including policy-limits recoveries.
What areas does GAMESQ serve?
GAMESQ serves all of Maricopa County and statewide Arizona, including Phoenix, Avondale, Laveen, Maryvale, Tolleson, Glendale, Yuma, Peoria, Avondale, Surprise, and Tucson.
