• Collection of surveillance, dash-cam, and traffic-camera video

When needed, we retain specialists in accident reconstruction, medicine, economics, life-care planning, and vocational analysis to quantify your current and future losses.

You Have a Right to an Accident Lawyer Who Knows the Law

Insurance adjusters know their policies—our attorneys know the law. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence, which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovery unless your conduct was intentional or wanton. A.R.S. § 12-2505.

Most personal injury actions—including vehicle crashes—must be filed within two years of accrual. A.R.S. § 12-542. Claims against a public entity (e.g., city vehicle or roadway defect) require a Notice of Claim within 180 days. A.R.S. § 12-821.01.

If the insurer won’t offer a fair settlement, we file suit and are prepared to take your case to trial.

Damages You May Recover After a Tempe Accident

Your recovery is unique to your injuries, prognosis, and proof. Depending on the facts, recoverable damages may include:

• Emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, and rehabilitation
• Prescription medications and medical devices
• Lost wages, lost benefits, and reduced earning capacity
• Vehicle repair or replacement and other property damage
• Replacement services (transportation, childcare, household help)
• Pain and suffering and diminished quality of life

Our attorneys document every loss—and work with experts when necessary—to pursue the maximum value of your claim.
