Wrongful Death Damages in Arizona

Arizona’s wrongful death statute caps noneconomic damages at $1,308. This figure, set by A.R.S. § 12-611, applies to losses such as grief, loss of companionship, and mental anguish suffered by survivors. The statute provides the exclusive method for calculating these damages, and the official source at azleg.gov contains the precise rule and any applicable exceptions. Because the law limits recovery to this verified amount without a formula for adjustment, the result is a fixed cap rather than a variable calculation. The worked example below demonstrates how this cap is applied in a typical scenario. To estimate damages for a specific case, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the statutory cap directly.
