Arizona follows pure comparative fault, so plaintiffs can recover damages regardless of their degree of fault, though their award is reduced proportionally. The state has no statutory cap on compensatory damages in personal injury or medical malpractice cases, which is favorable for plaintiffs with severe injuries. Arizona's dog bite statute imposes strict liability on dog owners, making those cases particularly straightforward.
