Legal Question in Personal Injury in Arizona

Re: insurance companies

There really is no limit on the time to respond to a demand other than the two years from the day of the accident.(Statute of Limitations) Suit must be filed before that 2 yr. date. Call the attorney and ask if any offers have been made.

Re: insurance companies

There is a time limit (known as a statute of limitations) on your claim. Typically, in Arizona, a personal injury case has a two-year statute of limitations. However, if you are suing a governmental entity (for example, if the other driver was in the course and scope of working for the government at the time of the accident), then a formal notice must be made within 6 months and a lawsuit must be filed within 1 year.

There is no obligation on the part of the other driver's insurance company to respond within any particular time period (or at all). Insurance companies typically do respond, just not very quickly.

Call your lawyer and ask him what is going on.
