How Arizona Law Affects Your Burn Injury Claim

Arizona follows pure comparative fault, so plaintiffs can recover damages regardless of their degree of fault, though their award is reduced proportionally. The state has no statutory cap on compensatory damages in personal injury or medical malpractice cases, which is favorable for plaintiffs with severe injuries. Arizona's dog bite statute imposes strict liability on dog owners, making those cases particularly straightforward.

Under Arizona's pure comparative fault system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. As a pure comparative fault state, you can recover damages even if you are mostly at fault, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
