How this Arizona estimate works
Under A.R.S. §12-612, only the surviving spouse, children, parent or guardian of a minor decedent, or the estate's personal representative may bring an Arizona wrongful death action. Damages include both economic losses (the financial support the decedent would have provided, funeral and burial costs) and noneconomic damages (loss of companionship, guidance, and consortium) — and under Arizona Constitution Article 2, §31, neither category is capped.
Arizona's survival statute does not extend to the decedent's own pre-death pain and suffering — that's a real limitation distinct from some other states. This calculator estimates the wrongful death claim (the beneficiaries' own loss), not a survival claim.
