We’ll fight to get you back on your feet, get you healthy, and get a fresh start, and we’ll do it on a contingency fee, no upfront cost to you, and no attorney fee at all unless we recover for you.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Two years. A.R.S. § 12-542 requires actions for injuries done to the person of another, and actions for injuries resulting in death, to be commenced within two years after the cause of action accrues, and not afterward. The same two-year period covers trespass causing property damage and conversion of personal property.

Yes, dramatically. A.R.S. § 12-821.01(A) requires a notice of claim to be filed with the person authorized to accept service for the public entity, public school, or public employee within one hundred eighty days after the cause of action accrues. A.R.S. § 12-821 then requires the lawsuit itself to be brought within one year. A claim not filed within the 180 days is barred. If a government vehicle, a public hospital, a school, or a city employee is anywhere in your case, the clock is far shorter than the ordinary two years.

Arizona uses comparative fault. Under A.R.S. § 12-2505(A), the claimant’s action is not barred; instead the full damages are reduced in proportion to the claimant’s relative degree of fault that was a proximate cause of the injury or death. There is an exception: the statute provides there is no right to comparative negligence in favor of a claimant who intentionally, wilfully, or wantonly caused or contributed to the injury or wrongful death.

No, not while the child is a minor. A.R.S. § 12-502 provides that if a person entitled to bring an action is under eighteen years of age or of unsound mind when the cause of action accrues, the period of that disability is not counted as part of the limitations period. The clock is tolled until the disability is removed. Claims against public entities have their own notice requirements, so a child’s claim against a government defendant still needs prompt attention.

Nova Law Group handles personal injury matters on a contingency fee, no cost to you unless we recover. There is no fee to sit down and have the case evaluated. The fee agreement itself spells out how fees and case costs are handled out of any recovery, and we go through that with you before you sign anything.

Talk to a lawyer first. An adjuster for the other side is not neutral, and a recorded statement taken days after a collision, before the full extent of an injury is known, is routinely used later to argue that the injury was minor or unrelated. You generally do have duties of cooperation with your own insurer under your own policy, which is a different question.

Arizona treats wrongful death as its own action, and § 12-542 gives two years from accrual for injuries resulting in death. What a family can recover depends on the relationship, the losses proven, and the facts of the case. No lawyer is permitted to promise a result or a number, and any firm that does should be treated with caution.
