A wrongful death lawsuit is one of the hardest things a family may ever face. When a loved one’s life is cut short because of someone else’s actions, the grief is deep—and so is the need for justice. At Accident Justice, we’re here to help you move forward with care, compassion, and strength.
This guide will help you understand your rights, the legal process, and how to begin reclaiming peace—one step at a time.
What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death lawsuit seeks justice for someone who died due to another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. These lawsuits often follow incidents like:
- Auto accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Workplace injuries
By filing a claim, families can pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost wages, emotional suffering, and more.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Arizona?
In Arizona, the law allows certain close family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These include:
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents of the deceased
In some cases, a legal representative of the estate can also take action. Acting quickly is crucial, since Arizona typically sets a two-year time limit on these cases.
First Steps to Take After a Wrongful Death
The days following a tragedy are painful and confusing. Yet certain steps can protect your legal rights:
- Gather evidence – Collect medical records, police reports, or witness statements.
- Don’t rush a settlement – Insurance companies often offer low payouts early on.
- Talk to a lawyer – A skilled attorney can guide you from the start.
Taking these steps early can shape the outcome of your wrongful death lawsuit and give your family peace of mind.
