Arizona Car Accident Guidelines 

If you find yourself in a car accident in Arizona, state law requires you to: 

• Stop Immediately: Fleeing the scene is illegal. If possible and safe, move your vehicle out of the way to not obstruct traffic. 
• Exchange Information: Share your name, address, license plate or registration number with the other parties involved. Provide your driver’s license number as well. 
• Offer Aid: Help anyone injured and call for emergency assistance if needed. 
• File a Police Report: If the accident results in an injury, a police report must be filed. 

Unattended Vehicles 

If you accidentally hit an unoccupied vehicle, you must make a reasonable effort to locate the owner. If unsuccessful, leave a note with your name, address, and if you’re not the vehicle owner, include the owner’s name and address too. Securely affix the note in a visible area on the vehicle. 

Determining Liability in Arizona Car Accidents 

In Arizona, liability for a car accident depends on the evidence provided, state laws, and various other factors. A claimant needs solid evidence to show another party’s negligence led to the accident and subsequent injuries. Depending on the evidence, a settlement offer may be made, or legal proceedings may be initiated. If the case goes to court, liability and compensation will be determined by a judge or jury.
