How Arizona law treats scald burns

Statutory research reviewed 2026-06-10. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Arizona follows pure comparative fault: an injured person can recover even if mostly at fault, with the award reduced by their fault percentage — though someone who intentionally or wantonly caused their own injury recovers nothing.
A.R.S. § 12-2505
Damage caps
Arizona has no caps on compensatory damages in injury or wrongful-death cases — the Arizona Constitution expressly prohibits laws limiting recoverable damages.
Ariz. Const. art. 2, § 31
Claims against government
Claims against an Arizona public entity or employee require a formal notice of claim within 180 days of the injury, and any lawsuit must be filed within one year.
A.R.S. §§ 12-821.01, 12-821
Punitive damages
Punitive damages carry no statutory cap (the constitution forbids one) but require clear and convincing evidence of outrageous, malicious, or consciously wrongful conduct — and are never available against public entities.
Ariz. Const. art. 2, § 31; Linthicum v. Nationwide Life Ins. Co. (1986); A.R.S. § 12-820.04
