Arizona has specific laws governing wrongful death claims, which impact who can file, how compensation is determined, and the time limits for legal action.
Here are some important ones:
Many wrongful death cases begin with medical emergencies, and the quality of care received before passing can impact a legal claim. Some of the leading hospitals in Mesa include:
If medical negligence played a role in your loved one’s passing, our legal team will review medical records and consult with experts to determine if malpractice contributed to the wrongful death.
Law enforcement plays a crucial role in documenting fatal accidents and determining fault. If your loved one’s death involved a car crash, workplace accident, or act of violence, obtaining a police report is essential for your case. Here are the departments you’ll need to check:
If the police report contains errors or missing information, we will work to correct inconsistencies and ensure the facts reflect what really happened.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is overwhelming. Knowing the proper steps to follow can safeguard your family’s rights and future. Here’s what you can do after experiencing a wrongful death in Mesa:
Reach out to trusted family, friends, or professional counselors who can help guide you through this difficult period.
Request official documents such as the death certificate and relevant medical records. These materials are crucial for accurately documenting the circumstances of your loved one’s passing.
If the death involved suspicious or unlawful circumstances, promptly notify appropriate authorities such as the Mesa Police Department. Early reporting supports thorough investigation and proper legal actions.
Collect valuable evidence from the incident, including witness testimonies, photographs, and videos. Comprehensive documentation significantly strengthens your claim.
Refrain from discussing details or accepting settlement offers from insurance companies until you’ve spoken with a qualified attorney. Early settlements often undervalue your true losses.
Speaking with an experienced wrongful death attorney helps clarify your legal options, ensuring your family is protected and justice is pursued.

Arizona law clearly defines eligibility for filing wrongful death claims. Those permitted to file include:
Importantly, Arizona allows only one wrongful death lawsuit per decedent. All eligible beneficiaries must be represented within this single claim, and any awarded damages are distributed by the court based on individual losses suffered.
In scenarios involving minor children, the surviving spouse often files the claim on the minors’ behalf. Although Arizona law does not explicitly favor spouses over adult children, coordinating closely among all eligible relatives ensures clarity and efficiency throughout the legal process.
Due to potential complexities, particularly with multiple claimants, it is wise to consult with a knowledgeable Mesa wrongful death attorney. Contact us now for a FREE CONSULTATION.
Wrongful deaths typically arise from negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct. Some common scenarios include:
At Thompson Law, our team thoroughly investigates each wrongful death claim, identifies responsible parties, and constructs a robust, evidence-backed case designed to achieve justice for your loved one and compensation for your family. Contact us now for a FREE NO-OBLIGATION CASE REVIEW.
Yes. Arizona follows a comparative negligence system, meaning even if your loved one was partially responsible for the incident, you may still be eligible for compensation. The total damages awarded would simply be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to your loved one.
For example, if they were found 25% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that amount. An attorney can help evaluate liability and build a case that maximizes your recovery.
Yes, and you should. A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit, separate from any criminal charges. Even if the responsible party is being prosecuted—for DUI, assault, or manslaughter—you can pursue a civil case at the same time. A criminal conviction may strengthen your civil case, but it’s not required.
It depends on the complexity of the case. Some claims resolve in a few months through negotiated settlements, while others—especially those involving multiple liable parties or contested liability—can take a year or more. If a case goes to trial, the timeline may extend further. At Thompson Law, we keep families informed throughout the process and push for fair, timely results without sacrificing the quality of your claim.
Yes. Arizona law allows only one wrongful death lawsuit per decedent, but multiple eligible family members can be part of that single claim. The court will determine how any awarded compensation is divided among surviving spouses, children, parents, or legal representatives. If there are disagreements among family members, an attorney can help mediate the process and ensure everyone’s rights are considered.
If the claim isn’t filed within Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations, your family could lose the right to seek any legal or financial remedy—regardless of how strong the evidence is. In cases involving government entities, the deadline may be even shorter (as little as 180 days).
