Arizona's Adult Protective Services Act gives vulnerable adults a civil cause of action that ordinary negligence law does not. A.R.S. § 46-455 allows a vulnerable adult who has been injured by abuse or neglect, or whose estate has been exploited, to sue any person or enterprise employed to provide care, appointed to provide care, or that has assumed a legal duty of care. A.R.S. § 46-451 defines who counts as a vulnerable adult and what abuse, neglect, and exploitation mean.
We evaluate nursing home abuse and neglect claims involving skilled nursing facilities, assisted living centers and homes, memory care units, and group homes. That evaluation is document driven: the chart audited over time, staffing schedules against actual payroll records, wound documentation and staging, state survey and inspection reports, and the audit trails behind electronic records.
Deadlines here are not one number. APSA claims, ordinary negligence claims, wrongful death and survival claims, and claims involving a government-operated facility each run on different rules, so get case-specific advice immediately rather than relying on a general figure. Free consultation, we come to you, and no fee unless we recover.
