Old Pueblo editorial policy
Where our facts come from, and how we keep them current.
By the Old Pueblo Rider Guide editors · Updated
Sources we use
Arizona law comes from the Arizona Revised Statutes on azleg.gov. Local steps come from the pages of the Tucson Police Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Pima County Superior Court. Injury signs and timing come from the CDC and MedlinePlus, the consumer health service of the National Institutes of Health.
House rules
We write in short, plain sentences and keep the law separate from practical tips. Worked numbers are marked as examples. We do not publish verdicts, settlement figures, crash counts we cannot source, or ratings of lawyers, and we never estimate what a claim is worth. A doctor, lawyer or named expert has not reviewed these pages.
Keeping pages current
Agency fees, portals and forms change. We check the local facts against the agency’s own page and record the date we checked. When something changes, we update the page and its date, and we add a note when the change affects what a reader should do. Report a problem on our corrections page.
