What City Did the Truck Accident Occur?

Arizona Truck & Bus Accident Statistics

The Arizona Department of Transportation reported that in 2019 there were 12,345 total injuries involving a truck accident, and total of 309 of those were fatal. This seems to indicate that safety regulations & traffic laws in Arizona either aren’t as effective as we’d hope, or that truck drivers, their employers (carriers), or other drivers are practicing unsafe behaviors. New technology in trucking safety will help mitigate damages, prevent injuries or collisions altogether, but for the victims and their families the problem seems to be escalating.

Statute of Limitations for Truck Accidents in Arizona

Generally, the statute of limitations for truck accident lawsuits in Arizona is a two-year deadline for the filing of any civil case seeking a remedy for “injuries done to the person of another,” for “trespass for injury done to the estate or the property of another,” and for “injuries done to the person of another when death ensues from such injuries” starting from the date of the incident – this is inclusive of most personal injury claims (Source: Nolo). A statute of limitation is a reasonable length of time that a plaintiff has to bring an action against a defendant. This varies based on state, and the type of incident: civil or criminal.
