Wrongful death may arise from many tragic circumstances, including:
Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents caused by reckless or impaired drivers
Medical malpractice – misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or hospital negligence
Defective products – unsafe machinery, faulty auto components, or consumer goods
Workplace incidents and third-party negligence
Premises liability – unsafe property conditions or negligent security
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents involving negligent motorists
Each wrongful death case is unique. Our Mesa personal injury lawyers conduct a comprehensive case evaluation to identify the responsible party and determine available legal options.
Mesa’s rapid growth and extensive roadway network contribute to a steady number of accidental deaths each year.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Mesa city, Arizona, Mesa has a population of more than 507,000 residents, making it the third-largest city in the state of Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported 1,307 traffic fatalities statewide in 2023, including hundreds across Maricopa County, where Mesa is located.
Arizona also ranks among the nation’s highest for pedestrian danger. The NHTSA FARS Encyclopedia shows that in 2023, Arizona recorded 3.65 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 residents, the second-highest rate nationally.
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Injury Mortality tables for Maricopa County documented 706 motor-vehicle-related deaths in 2022, within 3,308 total accidental deaths that year.
These official data from ADOT, NHTSA, and ADHS demonstrate the ongoing need for skilled Mesa wrongful death attorneys who can help families pursue accountability through the legal process when negligence is alleged.
Under Arizona law, specific family members, including the surviving spouse, children, parents, or the estate’s personal representative, may bring a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party.
Important points to understand:
The statute of limitations generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Compensation may include medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning damages are reduced by the decedent’s share of fault but are not eliminated entirely.
Wrongful death actions differ from personal injury cases; damages reflect the losses of surviving family members rather than the decedent’s injuries alone.
A qualified Mesa wrongful death attorney can guide you through the legal process, ensuring deadlines are met and every category of loss is properly documented.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
