Arizona injury law, in practice

Arizona is an at-fault state with no mandatory first-party medical coverage, so treatment is generally funded by a letter of protection or a recorded medical lien. Like California, Arizona applies pure comparative negligence, so a claimant’s own fault reduces recovery without eliminating it.
