What Is Wrongful Death?
Losing a loved one is always painful. But when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence or misconduct, the grief can be even more difficult to carry. Alongside emotional pain, families often face financial strain, legal uncertainty, and a need for answers.
A wrongful death claim provides a path for families in Globe to seek accountability and secure support for the road ahead.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Arizona?
Under Arizona law, the following individuals may file a wrongful death claim (A.R.S. § 12-612):
The surviving spouse
The surviving children
The surviving parent(s)
If none of these relatives are alive, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate may file on behalf of the surviving beneficiaries
Whether you are a spouse seeking justice, a parent facing unimaginable loss, or a child left behind, the law gives you the right to hold negligent parties accountable.
How Long Do You Have to File?
Arizona’s statute of limitations generally requires wrongful death claims to be filed within two years of the date of death. In some cases, such as when the cause of death is not immediately known, exceptions may apply.
If the claim involves a government agency, such as the City of Globe, a public school, law enforcement, or a state-run hospital, special deadlines and procedures apply. These claims often require a formal notice within 180 days of the incident.
Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and protect your rights. Our legal team is based in Arizona and understands the specific rules that apply to wrongful death cases in Globe and across Gila County.
Understanding Compensation in Arizona Wrongful Death Cases
When a loved one is lost because of someone else’s negligence, the effects reach every part of a family’s life. While financial compensation can never replace what was taken, it can help ease the burdens that follow — from immediate expenses to the long-term impact of losing their care, support, and presence.
Arizona law allows families in Globe to seek compensation through a wrongful death claim. These claims can help hold the responsible party accountable and support those left behind in rebuilding their lives.
What Can Be Recovered?
Wrongful death compensation in Arizona generally falls into two main categories: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
These refer to the measurable financial losses tied to your loved one’s passing. They may include:
Medical expenses from care provided before death, such as hospital bills or emergency treatment
Funeral and burial costs, including services, transportation, and burial arrangements
Loss of income the deceased would have contributed to the family
Loss of household services such as child care, transportation, home upkeep, or caregiving provided by the deceased
Non-Economic Damages
These damages recognize the deep emotional toll of the loss. Though less easily calculated, they are no less important:
Grief and emotional distress experienced by surviving family members
Loss of companionship and support, especially for spouses and life partners
Loss of guidance and care, especially for children who lose a parent
Why Compensation Matters
Seeking compensation after a wrongful death isn’t about placing a value on the life that was lost. It’s about helping families find stability in the face of sudden loss, holding negligent parties accountable, and making sure similar tragedies don’t happen to others in the future.
At Miller Kory Rowe, we take the time to understand how the loss has affected your family emotionally, financially, and personally. We carefully assess both immediate needs and long-term impacts to build a claim that truly reflects the depth of your loss. Our goal is to help you move forward with support, clarity, and strength.
Arizona Law Protects Your Right to Full Recovery
Arizona provides important protections for families pursuing wrongful death claims. Unlike some states, Arizona does not place limits or caps on the amount of compensation you can recover.
This right is protected under Article 2, Section 31 of the Arizona Constitution, which ensures that families in Globe and across the state can seek full and fair recovery without artificial restrictions.
