Phoenix and Peoria roadways—including I-10, I-17, Loop 101, and local streets—see thousands of car accidents every year. Many result in serious injuries: broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and permanent disabilities. When you're injured due to another driver's negligence, you deserve an attorney who will fight for maximum compensation while you focus on healing.
Desert Justice Lawyers matches Phoenix and Peoria car accident victims with experienced personal injury attorneys who specialize in collision cases. Our network includes lawyers who have recovered millions for Arizona injury victims and know how to handle everything from insurance negotiations to Maricopa County Superior Court trials.
Our partner attorneys have extensive experience with every type of car accident case in Arizona.
The most common type of accident on Phoenix freeways. Even "minor" rear-end crashes can cause whiplash, back injuries, and concussions. We prove the following driver was at fault and recover full compensation.
Side-impact collisions at Phoenix and Peoria intersections often cause catastrophic injuries. Our attorneys investigate red-light violations, failure to yield, and distracted driving to hold negligent drivers accountable.
When the at-fault driver flees the scene, you may still have options through uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys know how to pursue all available compensation sources.
Complex accidents involving multiple vehicles require thorough investigation to determine all liable parties. Our attorneys work with accident reconstructionists to prove fault and maximize recovery.
Texting, phone calls, GPS use—distracted drivers cause thousands of Arizona accidents annually. We obtain phone records and witness testimony to prove distraction and negligence.
DUI accidents often result in punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Our attorneys aggressively pursue maximum compensation when alcohol or drugs were involved.
We gather police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and accident scene photos before evidence disappears. Time is critical in car accident cases.
We work with your doctors to thoroughly document all injuries, treatments, and future care needs. This creates a clear picture of your damages for insurance companies and juries.
Our attorneys handle all communication with insurance adjusters, countering lowball offers and fighting for settlements that reflect the true value of your claim.
If insurers refuse fair settlement, we're fully prepared to take your case to trial in Maricopa County courts. Insurance companies know this—and it motivates them to settle for more.
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you feel fine, see a doctor. Many injuries (like whiplash, concussions, internal bleeding) don't show symptoms for hours or days. Documentation is critical.
2. Call the Police
Always file an official police report. This creates an objective record of the accident and is essential evidence for your claim.
3. Document Everything
Take photos of vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and the accident scene. Get contact information from witnesses.
4. Do NOT Admit Fault
Don't apologize or make statements about who was at fault. Let the investigation determine liability.
5. Contact an Attorney Before Talking to Insurance
Insurance adjusters will try to get you to accept a quick, lowball settlement or make statements that hurt your claim. Talk to an attorney first.
6. Call Desert Justice Lawyers Immediately
The sooner you connect with an experienced car accident attorney, the stronger your case will be. Call (928) 538-9508 24/7.
Our attorneys fight for full compensation for all damages, including:
Emergency room visits, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, medical equipment, and future medical care.
Time missed from work, lost earning capacity if you can't return to your job, and diminished future earnings.
Vehicle repairs or total loss value, personal property damaged in the crash.
Physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent disabilities or disfigurement.
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, degree of fault, insurance policy limits, and other factors. Our attorneys will evaluate your specific case and calculate a fair settlement range. Many Phoenix car accident settlements range from $25,000 to over $1 million for catastrophic injuries.
Arizona's statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. However, it's critical to contact an attorney immediately—evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies are harder to negotiate with as time passes.
You may be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Our attorneys will explore all available options to maximize your recovery, even when the at-fault driver is uninsured.
Arizona follows "pure comparative negligence" rules. You can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault—your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. An experienced attorney will fight to minimize any fault assigned to you.
Almost never. Insurance companies routinely make lowball initial offers hoping you'll settle quickly for far less than your case is worth. Always consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
Simple cases may settle in a few months. Complex cases involving serious injuries may take 12-24 months or longer, especially if litigation is necessary. Your attorney will work as efficiently as possible while not rushing to settle for less than you deserve.
Studies show that injury victims who hire attorneys recover significantly more compensation—even after legal fees—than those who handle claims alone. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers; you should too.
Don't face insurance companies alone. Get connected with an experienced car accident attorney who will fight for the compensation you deserve.
