Car Accident Liability Concerns

Summary

Arizona is a fault state for car accidents, meaning the at-fault party is liable for damages. Retirement accounts like 401(k) are generally protected from judgments in personal injury cases. Without an umbrella policy, personal assets may be at risk if the claim exceeds your insurance coverage. Consult with an attorney for personalized advice.
