Arizona Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, the 180-Day Notice of Claim, and Common Pitfalls
Arizona's general personal-injury statute of limitations is two years under ARS 12-542. The traps: a 180-day Notice of Claim under ARS 12-821.01 for any government defendant, a one-year SOL for claims against public entities under ARS 12-821, pure comparative-fault under ARS 12-2505, and a medical-malpractice 2-year SOL with a discovery rule.
