Car accidents
in Phoenix
Arizona sees roughly 120,000 crashes a year and the insurer on the other side of yours has already decided what your claim is worth. That number was calculated before anyone asked how you sleep now.
What goes wrong before anyone calls a lawyer
The recorded statement
An adjuster calls within 48 hours, sounds friendly, and asks you to describe the crash on tape. That recording exists to be used against you later. You are not required to give it.
The fast offer
A cheque arrives before the MRI does. Accepting it closes the claim permanently, including for the injury nobody has diagnosed yet.
The comparative fault trap
Arizona reduces your recovery by your share of fault, so the insurer invests heavily in proving you contributed. Photographs, black box data and scene evidence disappear fast.
What this office does instead
Three moves, in this order, on every file of this kind.
Two years from the date of the crash for most Arizona injury claims. 180 days if a city, county or state vehicle was involved.
We freeze the evidence
Spoliation letters go out the same week, before the vehicle is sold for salvage and the event data recorder is wiped.
We build the medical record properly
Not a stack of bills. A treating-physician narrative that connects the mechanism of the crash to the injury and to the life you no longer have.
We price the future, not the receipts
Lost earning capacity, future care, and the surgery that is five years out all get valued by economists, not by an adjuster with a spreadsheet.
Cases of this kind

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts.

Car accidents questions
What if the other driver had no insurance?
Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is usually the answer, and it is a benefit you already paid for. We open that claim for you and handle your own insurer, who is not automatically on your side once money is involved.
My car was barely damaged. Do I still have a case?
Yes. Low property damage is the single most common argument insurers use to deny real injuries, and biomechanical evidence routinely defeats it. Vehicle damage measures the vehicle, not the spine.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front and nothing if we lose. Our fee is 33.3 percent of the recovery if the case resolves before a lawsuit is filed and 40 percent after that, because a filed case costs a great deal more to run. Case expenses come out of the recovery, not out of your pocket, and if there is no recovery you owe us nothing at all, including expenses.
How long do I have to bring a claim in Arizona?
Two years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death claims. If a city, county or state entity is involved, you must serve a notice of claim within 180 days, which is the deadline that quietly kills more cases than any other. Claims on behalf of a child are generally paused until they turn 18. Call before you assume you are out of time.
