Because Arizona is a “fault” state when it comes to car accident liability, you do not have to turn to your own insurance’s personal injury protection to collect compensation after a collision. If another driver was at fault for the accident, a Phoenix car accident lawyer from Zanes Law can help you pursue them and their insurer for damages.
At Zanes Law, we help injury victims in the Phoenix area recover the compensation they deserve, and we also assist in any way we can as they navigate through the emotionally draining timeline of weeks and months that follow a serious injury. We never charge a fee to our clients until we recover money for them. To set up a free case evaluation to learn how Zanes Law can help you, call us today at 866-499-8989 .
When it comes to car accident liability, states follow either “fault” or “no-fault” laws.
In a no-fault state, it ultimately does not matter who caused the accident where liability is concerned, because the state requires each driver to file a claim for damages with their own insurance.
This is where personal injury protection comes in. A driver in a no-fault state turns to their personal injury protection policy to pay for costs associated with bodily injury from a car accident: medical bills, prescriptions, lost wages from work, and so forth. Many no-fault states, such as Florida, require drivers to carry personal injury protection because of their inability under the law to go after the at-fault driver.
In a fault state, the driver responsible for causing the accident is liable for the injuries suffered by others in the collision. If they carry liability coverage—which nearly all states require—then their insurance company generally foots the bill for the other parties’ injuries, up to the at-fault driver’s policy limits.
Some fault states have comparative negligence laws, where damages get awarded to each driver based on their share of the liability. Other states have contributory negligence laws, which bar drivers from collecting damages if they were even 1% at fault for the accident.
Arizona is a fault state that follows a pure comparative negligence law. Under this system, you can potentially recover damages from the other driver whether you were 0%, 50%, or even 99% at fault.

Because Arizona is a fault state, it requires all drivers to exercise financial responsibility, which includes carrying certain levels of liability coverage. Liability insurance pays for property damage and bodily injury incurred by other drivers and passengers in an accident.
The required levels of coverage in Arizona are:

This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.
Hello! As client of Zane law I was recently involved in accident last September and my recovery is still healing but Zane law checked on me and made sure everything was going smoothly and made sure I was on the right step every single time. I definitely would used them again ! They have helped my recovery so much and being a mom of 6 it has made my days alittle more better/easier! From chiropractor to message therapist and making sure I had that extra help like trauma counseling to get through my days! I thank you so much Rachel and Annabelle!
Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS
