Do You Have a Case?

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

  • Fatal motor vehicle and commercial truck crashes
  • Unsafe work environments / third-party liability (beyond workers’ comp)
  • Dangerous products or public hazards

It’s Personal. We’ll Listen First, Then Advise You on Next Steps

Who Can Step In and Take Action

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.

There Is a Timeline to File. Please Don’t Wait.

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.

Going Above and Beyond for Clients

John was so compassionate, responsive, and prompt in helping me with a very difficult situation – he was a gem! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal advice or help. Thank you John! God bless you. – Lisa S

What “It’s Personal” Means to the People We’ve Helped

What a Claim Can Recover

  • Final medical care and funeral/burial expenses
  • Loss of income and benefits the family depended on
  • Loss of love, guidance, and companionship
  • Emotional harm and the cost of counseling/support
  • Where warranted, punitive exposure for egregious conduct

We work with economists and life-care planners to project long-term needs, education costs for children, and future household support so the result reflects the full reality of your loss.

How the Process Works

  1. Free consultation & immediate evidence preservation
  2. Independent investigation: witnesses, video, scene analysis, records
  3. Experts engaged: medical causation, reconstruction, economics
  4. Comprehensive claim package outlining fault and full damages
  5. Negotiation/mediation backed by trial-ready preparation
  6. File suit if needed: discovery, depositions, motions, trial
  7. Resolution & lien reductions, with transparent distribution for eligible family members

You’ll always know where things stand. We move at your pace, not a sales quota.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my loved one was partly responsible?

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.

Will we have to go to court?

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.

How is compensation shared among family members?

Eligible parties can resolve distribution by agreement or court approval. We keep this process transparent and respectful, centered on fairness.

How much will this cost us right now?

Nothing up front. We work on contingency and our Fair Fee Guarantee means we never take more than your family takes home.
