If your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s choices, you shouldn’t carry the weight alone. At Torgenson Law, It’s Personal.

If another person or company’s wrongful act, neglect, or default caused your loved one’s death, Arizona law allows certain family members to seek accountability and compensation. This isn’t about revenge. It’s about truth, financial security, and change. So what happened is seen, addressed, and less likely to happen again.
Common contexts we handle
It’s Personal. We’ll Listen First, Then Advise You on Next Steps
Typically the spouse, children, or parents may bring a wrongful death claim. If there’s no immediate family, the personal representative (on behalf of the estate) can file.
You may be wondering if you’re legally allowed to file a wrongful death claim. In Arizona, the law gives specific family members the right to take action when a loved one is wrongfully taken. Even if you’re not sure where you stand, give us a call. We’ll walk you through what’s possible and what to expect.
We’ll treat your loved one’s story with dignity. We’ll carry the legal burden with grit and compassion. And we’ll be present for as long as it takes.
Most Arizona wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. Claims involving a city, county, or state entity have much shorter notice requirements (as short as 180 days). We’ll identify every deadline and act quickly to preserve evidence, without rushing you.

Arizona follows what’s called a “pure comparative negligence” rule. That means even if your loved one was partly at fault, you can still recover damages. The amount you receive may be reduced based on their share of the fault, but it doesn’t block your claim. We work to minimize any fault assigned to your loved one—and maximize what your family can recover.
Many matters resolve privately. We prepare every case like it’s going to trial—that’s how we earn fair outcomes. If trial is needed, we’ll walk it together.
Eligible parties can resolve distribution by agreement or court approval. We keep this process transparent and respectful, centered on fairness.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency and our Fair Fee Guarantee means we never take more than your family takes home.
