Arizona Statute of Limitations & Exceptions

That’s a little bit of a loaded question because, yeah, there are exceptions based on the kind of cases that there are. So, Arizona traditionally has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases that can change and become one year under certain circumstances. If it’s a government entity on the other side, then it’s a one-year statute of limitations. You know, is it against a tortfeasor, or is it against your uninsured or underinsured motorist? Those typically have a longer statute that could be a three-year statute. Normally, the numbers two, but that number can change. For example, if it’s a defamation or a slander claim, that’s a one-year statute of limitation. So, you know, fortunately, the Arizona bar publishes statute of limitations for different kinds of actions, but it changes. But traditionally, for a regular car crash kind of case with two people involved, it’s two-year statute of limitations.
