Local Impact of Wrongful Deaths in Glendale

Wrongful deaths in Glendale, AZ result from many types of negligence, including fatal car accidents on the Loop 101 and Bell Road, construction fatalities at active job sites across the growing city, and deaths caused by defective products or dangerous premises. Maricopa County consistently ranks among Arizona's highest-population counties for traffic fatalities, and Glendale contributes a significant share of those tragedies. The August 2020 fatal accident at the intersection of 83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue, which resulted from a driver running a red light at high speed, exemplifies the kind of preventable catastrophe that leaves families devastated and in urgent need of legal advocacy. Workplace fatalities on Glendale construction sites and industrial properties have also led to wrongful death claims pursued by surviving spouses and dependents. Arizona's wrongful death statute, codified at ARS 12-612, allows the personal representative of the deceased's estate to bring a claim on behalf of eligible survivors. The two-year statute of limitations runs from the date of death. Acting within that window is essential, as does early evidence preservation. Avian Law Group handles each wrongful death case with the gravity and compassion it deserves, always keeping the family's well-being at the center of our work while pursuing aggressive legal action against those responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Wrongful Death

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Arizona?

Under ARS 12-612, a wrongful death claim in Arizona must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased's estate on behalf of eligible survivors, which may include the surviving spouse, children, parents, or other dependents.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Arizona?

The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Arizona is two years from the date of death. Acting promptly ensures that critical evidence is preserved and that your family's rights are fully protected.

What damages are recoverable in an Arizona wrongful death case?

Recoverable damages may include the decedent's lost future earnings, medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, the survivors' loss of companionship and guidance, and the emotional suffering of the surviving family members.

Can a wrongful death claim be filed if criminal charges are also being pursued?
