Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Phoenix

Car Accidents in Phoenix

Car accidents remain the most common cause of personal injury in Phoenix, with the Arizona Department of Transportation reporting over 55,000 crashes in Maricopa County annually. From high-speed collisions on I-10 and I-17 to complex intersection crashes at major Phoenix thoroughfares like Camelback Road and Indian School Road, our firm handles all types of auto accident cases:

• Rear-end collisions causing whiplash and back injuries
• T-bone accidents at Phoenix intersections
• Head-on crashes resulting in catastrophic injuries
• Multi-vehicle pileups on Phoenix highways
• Distracted driving accidents
• Drunk driving injuries
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims

After a Phoenix car accident, insurance companies often attempt to minimize your claim or shift blame to reduce their payout. We counter these tactics with thorough investigation, expert testimony, and aggressive representation to secure full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Commercial Truck Accidents

When 80,000-pound commercial trucks collide with passenger vehicles on Phoenix roads, the consequences are often devastating. Truck accident cases involve complex federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders), and typically much higher damages due to the severity of injuries.

Our Phoenix truck accident representation includes:

• 18-wheeler and semi-truck crashes
• Delivery truck accidents
• Construction vehicle collisions
• Truck driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
• Improper truck maintenance claims
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo accidents

With extensive experience handling complex truck accident cases in Phoenix, we identify all responsible parties and insurance policies to maximize your recovery. We work with accident reconstruction experts, secure electronic logging device data, and thoroughly investigate company safety records to build compelling cases against negligent trucking companies.

Motorcycle Accident Representation

Phoenix’s year-round riding weather makes it a motorcycle enthusiast’s paradise, but it also sees a high rate of motorcycle accidents. Despite making up only 3% of registered vehicles, motorcycles are involved in a disproportionate number of serious and fatal accidents in Maricopa County.Our motorcycle accident representation addresses the unique challenges these cases present:

• Combating bias against motorcyclists
• Documenting road and weather conditions that contributed to the crash
• Proving driver negligence in failure-to-yield cases
• Calculating long-term costs of catastrophic injuries common in motorcycle crashes
• Addressing helmet use questions under Arizona law

We understand the devastating impact of motorcycle accidents and fight for riders’ rights against insurance companies that often try to unfairly blame motorcyclists for their own injuries.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents

Phoenix’s efforts to become more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly have increased foot and bike traffic, particularly in areas like downtown Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale. Unfortunately, this has also led to more bicycle and pedestrian accidents, often resulting in severe injuries due to the victim’s vulnerability.

Our bicycle and pedestrian accident representation includes:

• Crosswalk and intersection accidents
• Bike lane collisions
• Dooring incidents
• Hit-and-run accident investigations
• Inadequate road design or signage cases

We work to identify all potential sources of compensation, including the driver’s insurance, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and potentially even municipal liability in cases involving unsafe road conditions.

Rideshare Accident Claims

The explosion of Uber and Lyft services in Phoenix has created a new category of accident claims with unique insurance complications. Rideshare accident claims involve complex coverage questions depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a pickup, or actively transporting passengers.

Our rideshare accident expertise includes:

• Passenger injuries in Uber/Lyft vehicles
• Collisions with rideshare drivers
• Coverage disputes between personal and commercial insurance policies
• Cases involving uninsured rideshare drivers

We navigate the complicated insurance landscape of rideshare accidents to ensure you receive proper compensation regardless of which company or policy is ultimately responsible.

Wrongful Death Cases

When the unthinkable happens and a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence in Phoenix, the legal and emotional challenges can be overwhelming. Arizona law (ARS § 12-612) allows specific family members to seek justice through wrongful death claims.

Our wrongful death representation provides:

• Compassionate guidance through the legal process during your time of grief
• Thorough investigation of accident circumstances
• Valuation of economic damages including lost income and services
• Pursuit of non-economic damages for loss of companionship and guidance
• Navigation of probate requirements and estate issues

While no amount of money can truly compensate for your loss, a wrongful death settlement or verdict can provide financial security and a sense of justice during an incredibly difficult time.

Why Choose Super Woman Super Lawyer

Our personal injury lawyers combine firm negotiations with the assertiveness and legal tenacity needed to stand up to insurance companies and corporate defense teams. This balanced approach often leads to more comprehensive case building and stronger client advocacy.

No Fee Unless We Win Guarantee

Financial concerns shouldn’t prevent you from getting quality legal representation after an injury. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis—you pay absolutely nothing upfront, and our fee only comes as a percentage of what we recover for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

This arrangement means:

• No hourly billing

• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life

We’re particularly skilled at documenting non-economic damages that insurance companies typically try to minimize but often represent the largest portion of serious injury claims.

• 24/7 accessibility for questions and concerns
• Regular, proactive case updates
• Clear explanation of your options at every stage

The Personal Injury Claim Process

Free Initial Consultation

Your journey toward justice begins with a completely free, no-obligation consultation. During this meeting, we’ll:

• Listen to your accident story
• Ask targeted questions about your injuries and treatment
• Explain how Arizona law applies to your situation
• Outline potential compensation sources
• Discuss our approach and fee structure
• Answer any questions you have about the legal process

This consultation can take place at our Phoenix office, by phone, or even at your home or hospital room if your injuries make travel difficult. Call (602) 922-4995 today to schedule your consultation.

Investigation & Evidence Gathering

Once you choose us to represent you, our thorough investigation begins immediately:

• Securing the accident scene and vehicle evidence
• Obtaining police reports and witness statements
• Collecting medical records documenting your injuries
• Analyzing any available video footage
• Consulting with accident reconstruction experts when needed
• Researching the at-fault party’s history
• Identifying all potential insurance coverage

This foundation-building phase is critical to case success, especially given Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations that requires prompt action to preserve evidence.

Negotiation with Insurance Companies

With a strong case built, we present a comprehensive demand to the insurance company that includes:

• Complete documentation of liability
• Full accounting of economic damages
• Expert-supported projections of future medical needs
• Detailed valuation of non-economic damages

Our reputation for thorough preparation and willingness to take cases to trial often results in stronger initial offers. We’ll advise you on offer fairness but always respect that settlement decisions belong to you.

Litigation & Trial Representation

If fair settlement isn’t possible, we’re fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. Our litigation approach includes:

• Strategic complaint drafting
• Aggressive discovery to uncover additional evidence
• Expert witness development
• Effective deposition of opposing witnesses
• Persuasive pre-trial motions
• Compelling jury presentation

Unlike firms that pressure clients to settle to avoid trial, we prepare every case as if it will go to court. This thorough approach often leads to better settlements while ensuring we’re trial-ready if needed.

Maximizing Your Compensation

Throughout the process, our focus remains on maximizing your compensation across all damage categories:

• Emergency treatment and hospitalization costs
• Surgery and specialist care
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Medication and medical equipment
• Lost income during recovery
• Reduced future earning capacity
• Property damage and replacement
• Pain, suffering and emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Potential punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

We work with medical and economic experts to fully document both current and future damages, ensuring your settlement or verdict accounts for the full impact of your injuries.

Understanding Arizona Personal Injury Laws

Arizona Statute of Limitations

Time restrictions on filing personal injury claims in Arizona are strict:

• General personal injury claims: 2 years from date of injury (ARS § 12-542)
• Claims against government entities: 180 days to file notice of claim
• Wrongful death claims: 2 years from date of death
• Minor victims: 2 years after reaching age 18

Missing these deadlines typically means permanently losing your right to compensation. This makes contacting an attorney promptly after an accident essential to protecting your rights.

Comparative Negligence in Arizona

Arizona follows a “pure comparative negligence” system under ARS § 12-2505. This means:

• You can recover compensation even if partially at fault
• Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault
• You can theoretically recover even if 99% responsible (though practically difficult)

This system makes it critical to have strong representation, as insurance companies routinely attempt to assign you higher percentages of fault to reduce their payout obligations.

Types of Compensation Available

Arizona law recognizes several categories of damages in personal injury cases:

Economic Damages (objectively quantifiable):

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and benefits
• Reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Household services
• Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages (subjective losses):

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Loss of consortium (impact on marriage)

Punitive Damages (in rare cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct):

• Additional compensation meant to punish particularly egregious behavior
• Requires clear and convincing evidence of “evil mind” standard

Unlike some states, Arizona places no caps on damage amounts in personal injury cases, allowing full recovery for your losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Phoenix?

In Phoenix and throughout Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this timeline can be shorter if your claim involves a government entity (180 days to file notice of claim) or longer in certain circumstances, such as when injuries aren’t immediately discovered.

Missing the statute of limitations deadline typically means permanently losing your right to compensation, regardless of how strong your case might be. This makes contacting a Phoenix personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident crucial to protecting your rights.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Phoenix?

At Super Woman Super Lawyer, we represent Phoenix injury victims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs or hourly fees. Our payment comes solely as a percentage of the compensation we recover for you—if we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

The standard contingency fee for personal injury cases in Phoenix is 33.3% (one-third) of the recovery amount if the case settles before filing a lawsuit, and potentially 40% if extensive litigation or trial is required. We advance all case expenses including investigation costs, expert witness fees, medical record collection, filing fees, and deposition costs.

During your free consultation, we’ll explain our fee structure clearly and answer any questions you have about costs.

What types of compensation can I recover in a Phoenix personal injury case?

Arizona law allows personal injury victims to recover several categories of damages:

Economic damages include quantifiable financial losses such as:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and benefits
• Reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Household services you can no longer perform
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury

Non-economic damages compensate for subjective losses including:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Loss of consortium (impact on marriage)

In rare cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be available to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.

Unlike some states, Arizona places no statutory caps on damage amounts in most personal injury cases, allowing for full compensation based on your specific circumstances.

How long will my Phoenix personal injury case take to resolve?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case in Phoenix varies significantly depending on multiple factors:

• Simple cases with clear liability and moderate injuries might settle in 6-9 months.
• More complex cases involving serious injuries typically take 1-2 years.
• Cases requiring litigation and trial can extend to 2-3 years or more.

Key factors affecting timeline include:

• Recovery time needed to reach maximum medical improvement
• Complexity of liability determination
• Number of parties involved
• Insurance company cooperation
• Court scheduling if litigation is necessary

While we understand your desire for prompt resolution, rushing a case typically benefits only the insurance company. We focus on thorough preparation and proper case valuation to maximize your compensation, even if it requires more time.

We provide realistic timeline expectations during your consultation and keep you updated as your case progresses.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Yes. Arizona follows a “pure comparative negligence” system (ARS § 12-2505), meaning you can recover compensation even if partially at fault for your accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you remain eligible for compensation regardless of fault percentage.

For example, if you’re found 30% responsible for an accident with $100,000 in damages, you could recover $70,000 (the total minus your 30% fault share). This system makes it critical to have strong representation, as insurance companies routinely attempt to assign higher percentages of fault to injury victims to reduce their payout obligations.

Our Phoenix personal injury lawyers work diligently to minimize any fault attributed to you through thorough investigation, expert testimony, and effective countering of insurance company tactics.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Phoenix?

Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can significantly strengthen your potential injury claim:

1. Seek medical attention – Even if injuries seem minor, get prompt medical evaluation. Some serious conditions may not show symptoms immediately.
2. Report the accident – Call police to file an official report, which provides crucial documentation.
3. Document the scene – If safely possible, take photos of vehicles, property damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and anything else relevant to showing how the accident occurred.
4. Gather information – Exchange contact and insurance information with other involved parties and collect contact information from witnesses.
5. Be cautious with statements – Avoid apologizing or making statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault. Stick to exchanging necessary information.
6. Notify your insurance – Report the accident to your insurance company, but provide only basic facts.
7. Contact a Phoenix personal injury attorney – Before giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers, consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to understand your rights.
8. Follow medical advice – Attend all follow-up appointments and follow treatment plans. Gaps in medical care can be used against you by insurance companies.

Do I need a lawyer for my Phoenix personal injury claim?

While technically you can handle a claim yourself, studies consistently show that accident victims who hire attorneys receive significantly higher settlements – often 3-4 times more than those who represent themselves, even after attorney fees.

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize payouts. Without equal representation, you’re at a severe disadvantage. This imbalance is particularly problematic in cases involving:

• Serious injuries requiring extensive treatment
• Long-term or permanent disabilities
• Significant lost income or earning capacity
• Liability disputes or multiple potentially responsible parties
• Uncooperative insurance adjusters
• Government entities or large corporations

Additionally, an experienced Phoenix personal injury attorney handles all legal complexities while you focus on recovery, including:

• Proper case valuation accounting for all current and future damages
• Expert witness coordination
• Evidence preservation and development
• Deadline compliance
• Insurance company negotiations
• Litigation preparation if needed

Our free consultation allows you to understand your options without obligation or upfront cost.

How is the value of my personal injury case determined?

Personal injury case valuation in Phoenix involves analysis of multiple factors:

Economic damages are calculated based on documentation including:

• Medical bills and projected future medical costs
• Pay stubs and employment records showing lost income
• Expert testimony on diminished earning capacity
• Property repair or replacement costs
• Receipts for out-of-pocket expenses

Non-economic damages (pain, suffering, emotional distress) are more subjective and may be calculated using:

• Multiplier method – Economic damages multiplied by a factor (typically 1.5-5) based on injury severity
• Per diem method – Assigning daily dollar value to pain and multiplying by expected recovery days
• Comparable case analysis – Reviewing similar case outcomes in Maricopa County

Case-specific factors affecting value include:

• Injury severity and permanence
• Impact on daily activities and quality of life
• Strength of liability evidence
• Your comparative fault percentage
• Insurance policy limits
• Defendant’s assets beyond insurance
• Venue (where case would be tried)
• Your credibility and likeability as a plaintiff
• Quality of your legal representation

During your consultation, we can provide a preliminary value range based on similar cases we’ve handled, though precise valuation requires complete medical documentation and thorough investigation.
