Key features of Arizona's system:
- ✓ Industrial Commission administers all claims
- ✓ No direct lawsuit against employer (exclusive remedy)
- ✓ Structured settlement (compromise and release) requires AIC approval
The Arizona Industrial Commission (AIC) administers workers' compensation in Arizona. Arizona is a no-fault system covering all work-related injuries and diseases. Employers must carry coverage through a private insurer or self-insure. Arizona uses the AMA Guides for permanent impairment ratings and has specific scheduled-injury benefits for extremity losses. Claims must be filed within one year of the injury date.

Cervical spine injuries — disc herniations, facet joint injuries, and cervical radiculopathy — frequently result from vehicle accidents, falls, or acute lifting events. The neck is not a scheduled body part in most states, which means permanent disability is calculated under the whole-person impairment methodology. Cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression causing pain, numbness, or weakness radiating into the arms) is a common outcome of C5–C6 or C6–C7 disc herniation. Cervical fusion carries significant risk of adjacent-segment disease, meaning degeneration above or below the fused level often leads to future surgery — a factor that supports higher settlement demands. Thorough neurological documentation distinguishing radiculopathy from peripheral neuropathy is critical for claim value.
