Inform Your Insurance—With Caution
Inform your insurance provider of the accident, regardless of whose fault it is. Be factual. Do not speculate or admit fault—the words can be used against you.

Important Aspects Of Car Accident Claims
How To Estimate The Value Of Your Car Accident Case
Do not let an insurance company decide what your pain is worth. Our auto accident attorneys will help you calculate the actual value of your claim—so you know exactly what you deserve and when to reject a low offer.
Proving Liability & Negligence In Your Car Injury Claim
To receive maximum compensation, we’ll help identify who was at fault and help prove any negligence that took place. Police reports, witness testimony, and physical evidence are all important—and we know exactly how to use them in your favor.
Compensation You Deserve After A Car Accident
Insurance firms are taught to protect their bottom line—not yours. They’ll often make a low offer initially, hoping you’ll settle fast. Don’t. We’ll negotiate hard so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
Understanding The Cost Of Hiring A Car Injury Lawyer
Worried about lawyer fees? Don’t be. A good attorney typically pays for themselves by securing a larger settlement—and in most cases, legal fees can be recovered as part of the claim. You won’t pay out of pocket.
Why You Need A Car Accident Attorney For Your Case
A devastating accident can turn your life upside down. Our experienced, compassionate legal team is here to be your navigator through the journey—so you can focus on recovering while we handle the fight.
Who May Be Liable for a Car Accident?
Under Arizona comparative negligence laws, it’s possible that more than one party is responsible for an accident, and you can still be eligible for compensation even if you were partially at fault. Talk to our legal team to find out what your case could be worth.

Car Accident Injuries That Can Impact Your Claim
Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash may sound trivial, but to countless accident victims, it causes long-term pain, restricted movement, and regular headaches. The symptoms can take days to fully manifest, so do not ignore them. Record everything and consult with an attorney as quickly as possible.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
From concussions to severe cognitive impairment, TBIs can completely change your life—and your case. These injuries also have a larger medical cost and a greater impact on your day-to-day life, so they play a very critical role when deciding pain and suffering damages.
Spinal Cord Injuries In Auto Accidents
Few injuries are as life-altering as damage to the spine. Loss of mobility, sensation, or independence demands serious compensation. If your spinal cord was affected, contact our team immediately—we’ll help fight for the long-term support you’ll need.
Broken Bones & Fractures
Fractures are simple to diagnose and harder for insurers to downplay. Multiple breaks, surgeries, or lasting limitations have a tendency to lead to more concrete claims and larger settlements. Get proper treatment and legal advice.
Soft Tissue Injuries After An Accident
These can be insidious—sprains, strains, and bruises don’t always show up on scans, but they hurt. Insurers prefer to minimize them, but we don’t. Let our team examine your case and push back on any low offers.
Understanding Compensation After a Car Accident
Economic Damages Medical Bills, Lost Wages & More
From ambulance charges to lost paychecks, the money lost in a car accident adds up fast. These are economic damages—the tangible costs associated with your injury. You are eligible to recover each dollar spent and each paycheck missed.
Non-Economic Damages Pain, Suffering & Emotional Distress
Certain damages can’t be measured in checks. Chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD—these non-economic damages add up too. While harder to prove, they can significantly increase your settlement when brought by a skilled car accident attorney who knows how to present your case.
Punitive Damages Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable
If your crash resulted from gross negligence—think about drinking and driving or street racing—you have potential for punitive damages. These serve to punish the at-fault party and send a clear message: irresponsible behavior has serious consequences.
Car Accident Laws & Your Legal Rights
Overview of Car Accident Laws Across the U.S.
Auto accident laws differ from state to state—how to file a claim, who’s considered at fault, and what coverage you’re required to carry. Knowing your local laws can mean the difference between a denied claim and a full settlement.
Understanding Fault & Liability in Car Accidents
In Arizona, for instance, how much you’re paid depends directly on your fault percentage. If you’re partially at fault, it can reduce your payment. Don’t take the chance—our attorneys can fight your name and your claim.
Statute of Limitations for Filing a Car Accident Claim
Time will not be on your side. You have only two years from the date of the accident to file your claim in Arizona. Miss it and you stand to lose the right to receive any compensation. Let’s make sure you claim in time and fight to the very last.
How Comparative Fault Can Impact Your Settlement
Arizona is a comparative fault state, so you can recover even if you were at fault. The secret? Keeping your fault percentage low and your check high—something our attorneys are trained to do.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Lawsuits
What Documents & Evidence Do I Need to Support My Claim?
You’ll need a good stack of evidence to back up your claim: the police accident report, scene photos and videos, medical bills, lost wages statements, repair estimates, witness statements, and insurance information. Our lawyers will help you collect and prepare it all to build the best possible case.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim?
In Arizona, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the accident. File early when evidence is new. If injuries manifest later, you may still have recourse—consult a lawyer to review your claim and timeline. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights.
Can I File A Claim If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?
Because of Arizona’s comparative negligence laws, you can recover even if you’re partially at fault. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies will try to make that percentage as big as possible—our job is to make it small and your award big.
How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Car Accident Claim?
Minor claims may settle in 1–3 months. Moderate injuries could take 3–9 months. More complex cases involving long-term injuries or high medical costs may last over a year. With our legal team managing your case, you’ll have steady progress and aggressive representation every step of the way.
Will My Car Accident Claim Affect My Insurance Premiums?
If you’re responsible, sure, your rates may go up. Even if you’re not responsible, some increase is probably inevitable. Clean records and minimal prior claims are a good thing. And if your existing company increases your rates too much, we recommend comparing quotes—many firms offer better rates to new customers.
How Do I Prove Liability in a Car Accident Case?
Police reports, eyewitnesses, images, and video are important to proving who’s actually liable. Our attorneys take it even further, acquiring traffic camera recordings, securing expert testimony, and counteracting insurers’ tactics. The result? A strong case is meant to win you the recovery you rightfully deserve.
