Who is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Arizona law gives certain people the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Survivors who may be able to file include the deceased’s:

Parents or legal guardians of minor children under the age of 18 may be able to file lawsuits on behalf of surviving children.

Compensation for a Wrongful Death Claim

In a wrongful death claim, there is compensation for the deceased’s estate and compensation for surviving family members.

The estate can pursue the following forms of compensation:

Surviving family members may be able to pursue compensation for lost companionship, care and guidance, pain and suffering, and the value of household services the deceased would have performed.

Family members may be able to decide how to divide damages among themselves, or the court may decide how to distribute these damages. When courts make the decision, it is legally binding and cannot be changed.

You can discuss the value of your claim with one of our licensed attorneys in a free consultation. We have helped many Arizona injury victims recover compensation to help them try to move forward from a devastating accident.

Deadline for a Wrongful Death Claim

Generally, the deadline is two years from the date of the victim’s death. If you miss the deadline you may lose the right to file a lawsuit. If you do file, the case will likely be dismissed in court.

There can be exceptions to Arizona’s statute of limitations, depending on the specifics of your case. These exceptions may shorten or lengthen the deadline for taking legal action.

The clock may already be running, so it is important to contact an Avondale wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible. It takes time to investigate a case and gather evidence and build a strong argument.

A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney.
