No settlement replaces someone you've lost. But it can mean one less thing your family has to fight for during an impossible time.
Arizona law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim when someone dies because of another person's or company's negligence. We handle the legal fight so your family doesn't have to face it alone.

Case results depend on the specific facts of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What you do in the first hours and days can shape what your case is worth. Here's what actually matters.
A police report, accident report, or incident report creates the official record of what happened.
Photos, witness contact information, and any records related to the incident should be gathered as soon as possible, before they're lost.
Funeral costs, medical bills before death, and lost income are all part of a wrongful death claim — keep documentation of each.
Insurance companies may reach out to surviving family members quickly. You're not obligated to give a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney.
A wrongful death claim has to be filed by the right person, in the right way, within a strict deadline. A free case review carries zero obligation.
A wrongful death can cost more than the medical bills alone. Arizona law lets you pursue compensation for the full impact — not just whatever the insurance company offers first.
Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.
Income and financial support your family has lost because of your loved one's death, including future earnings.
Compensation for the loss of love, guidance, and companionship your family has suffered, not just the financial impact.
Repair or replacement of personal property damaged in the incident, where applicable.
In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party, where Arizona law allows them.
Two rules shape almost every wrongful death claim in Arizona: how long you have to file, and what happens if fault isn't 100% clear-cut. Both usually work in your favor more than people assume.
Arizona lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case just because fault isn't 100% clear-cut.
Claims against an Arizona government entity or public employee have much shorter deadlines. A Notice of Claim generally must be properly filed within 180 days after the claim accrues, and a lawsuit generally must be filed within one year. Because special rules and exceptions may apply, speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
A real method, not a script. Built around never settling just to close your case.
Free case review — we hear what actually happened, no pressure, no obligation.
We build the evidence — police reports, medical records, fault documentation — before insurance can spin the story.
We negotiate for full value. If the insurance company won't move, we don't settle just to close your case.
You get paid, and you're never left wondering what happens next — we walk you through every step.
No actors. No scripts. Just clients.
Generally, the surviving spouse, children, parents, or the personal representative of the deceased's estate. We can help determine who has the right to bring the claim in your family's situation.
Arizona's statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is two years from the date of death, though certain circumstances can affect this — it's worth getting a case review as soon as your family is able.
Funeral and burial costs, the deceased's medical bills before death, lost income and financial support, and the loss of companionship and guidance to surviving family members.
Arizona's comparative negligence rules still apply — a claim isn't eliminated just because fault isn't 100% one-sided.
These cases involve difficult legal and emotional territory at the same time. There's no cost to find out where your family stands — the free case review carries zero obligation.
