Editorial Standards

Arizona Injury Answers exists to give Arizonans accurate, verifiable information. These standards describe how we decide what to publish, how we treat sources, and what happens when we get something wrong.

Our sources

Factual claims on this site are based on official and verifiable sources: Arizona statutes and legislation, state and federal court rules, public agency guidance (such as the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Arizona Department of Insurance), and published court decisions. Where a source is publicly available, we link to it or cite it so readers can check it themselves. We do not rely on rumor, social-media posts, or anonymous tips.

How sources are treated

We report what sources actually say, not what we wish they said. We distinguish between what a statute requires, what a court has decided, and what is common practice. When reasonable people disagree about how a rule applies, we describe the disagreement rather than picking a side. We do not invent statistics, fabricate examples, or make unverifiable claims. If we cannot verify something, we leave it out.

Plain language

Content is written for readers who are not lawyers or doctors. We define legal and insurance terms when we use them and avoid jargon where a plain word will do. The goal is that a person can read an answer and understand what it means for them, not just what the law says in the abstract.

Corrections policy

We correct errors promptly and transparently. When a fact is wrong, we update it and, where the change is significant, note that a correction was made. When a source changes or a law is updated, we revisit the affected answers. If you find an error, an outdated figure, or a broken source link, please tell us through our contact page. Every report is reviewed, and corrections are made as quickly as we can verify the correct information.

General information, not advice

Everything on this site is general information about Arizona law and practice. It is not legal advice, medical advice, or financial advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client or provider-patient relationship. Laws and procedures change, and how a rule applies depends on the specific facts of a situation. For advice about your own case, consult a licensed professional.
