accrual claim in Arizona

2018See Sato v. Van Denburgh, 123 Ariz. 225, 227 (1979). ¶15 The “discovery rule” delays the accrual of a claim when “[t]he injury or the act causing the injury, or both, have been difficult for the plaintiff to detect.” Doe, 191 Ariz. at 330 , ¶ 54 (quoting Gust, Rosenfeld & Henderson v. Prudential Ins.

2018Ctr., LP v. Callaway, 226 Ariz. 287, 290, ¶ 12 (App. 2010) (citing Doe, 191 Ariz. at 324, ¶ 37 ). ¶16 Moreover, if a plaintiff claims the discovery rule applies to delay the accrual of a claim, the plaintiff bears the burden of establishing the discovery rule should apply.

2010The relevant inquiry is when did a plaintiff‟s “„knowledge, understanding, and acceptance in the aggregate provide[] sufficient facts to constitute a cause of action.‟” Walk v. Ring, 202 Ariz. 310, ¶ 23 , 44 P.3d 990, 996 (2002), quoting Doe v. Roe, 191 Ariz. 313, ¶ 36 , 955 P.2d 951, 962 (1998). ¶10 Here, we must determine whether the trial court correctly concluded that Johnson‟s filing the Board complaint on Little‟s behalf marked the accrual of her claim for purposes of § 12-821.01(B).

2024Sandoval v. Maricopa County, 213 Ariz. 525, 527, ¶ 10 (2006). ¶26 Under A.R.S. § 12-821, “[a]ll actions against any public entity or public employee shall be brought within one year after the cause of action accrues.” “[A] cause of action accrues when the damaged party realizes he or she has been damaged and knows or reasonably should know the cause, source, act, event, instrumentality or condition that caused or contributed to the damage.” A.R.S. § 12-821.01(B); see also Dube v. Likins, 216 4 Rogut also suggests that the Parents’ Bill of Rights excludes the use of “any affirmative defense.” F

2023Co. v. Lewis & Roca, 183 Ariz. 250, 252-53 (App. 1995). ¶9 “[T]he accrual of a claim for breach of a guaranty is independent of the accrual of a claim for breach of the underlying obligation.” Mill Alley Partners v. Wallace, 236 Ariz. 420, 423, ¶ 12 (App. 2014).

2022See CTS Corp. v. Waldburger, 573 U.S. 1 , 8 (2014) (“A statute of repose . . . is measured not from the date on which the claim accrues but instead from the date of the last culpable act or omission of the defendant.”); Kenyon v. Hammer, 142 Ariz. 69, 73 (1984) (reasoning that if the statute in question were tied to the date of a negligent act it would be a statute of repose).

2022See id. ¶ 23; see also Merkens, 237 Ariz. 274 , ¶ 18 & n.6 (suggesting that a bad faith claim may accrue before final compensability determination and “there can be simultaneous proceedings in both the Industrial Commission and superior court”). ¶19 By contending his bad faith claim was not “ripe” until this court ruled in his favor, France appears to argue that the “final judgment accrual rule,” adopted by our supreme court in Taylor v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., 185 Ariz. 174 (1996), should apply in the workers’ compensation context.

2022For instance, a cause of action accrues for claims against public entities under § 12-821 “when the damaged party realizes he or she has been damaged and knows or reasonably should know the cause, source, act, event, instrumentality or condition that caused or contributed to the damage.” § 12-821.01(B); see also Dube v. Likins, 216 Ariz. 406 , 421 ¶ 2 (App. 2007) (explaining that § 12.821.01(B) sets the accrual standard for claims governed by § 12-821). ¶27 It is true that tying § 35-212(E) to “the date of an illegal payment” as opposed to when an injury occurred or was discovered is character

2014Although Mill Alley is correct that a guaranty contract is independent of the underlying obligation, Flori Corp. v. Fitzgerald, 167 Ariz. 601, 602-03 , 810 P.2d 599, 600-01 (App. 1990), it does not follow that a claim for breach of a guaranty cannot accrue upon a breach of the underlying obligation.
