Suffering a permanent injury can be life-altering, affecting your ability to work and enjoy daily activities. In Arizona, individuals with permanent injuries have legal avenues to seek compensation, whether the injury occurred at work or due to someone else’s negligence.
Arizona law distinguishes between two types of permanent injuries: scheduled and unscheduled. Scheduled injuries involve specific body parts like an arm, leg, or eye, with compensation amounts predefined by state law. Unscheduled injuries, such as back injuries or occupational diseases, require a more detailed evaluation to determine compensation based on factors like the individual’s ability to work and earning capacity.

In September 2025, the State of Arizona was recognized for its excellence in serving employees injured on the job and enhancing workplace safety. The Arizona Department of Administration’s Risk Management Division received the 2025 Workers’ Comp Risk Management Award for Excellence. This accolade highlights the state’s commitment to improving services for injured workers and underscores the importance of understanding your rights when seeking compensation for permanent injuries.

Compensation amounts vary based on the injury’s severity and its impact on your life. For instance, a scheduled injury like the loss of a limb has a predetermined compensation rate. In contrast, unscheduled injuries require an assessment of how the injury affects your earning capacity and daily activities.
