If you weren’t injured in a car accident, you typically can’t file a personal injury lawsuit—since these cases require proof of physical harm. However, you may still have grounds for a property damage claim. Even without injuries, you can pursue compensation for damage to your vehicle or personal items (like phones or laptops) caused by another driver’s negligence.
It’s also important to note that some accident-related injuries don’t show up right away. Always seek medical attention after a crash to rule out hidden or delayed injuries.
In Arizona, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a property damage lawsuit. If you’re facing low settlement offers or insurance delays, an Arizona car accident lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure you recover the full value of your losses.
