Why Hire a Scottsdale Personal Injury Attorney?

Benefits of Local Representation in Scottsdale

A local personal injury attorney understands Scottsdale’s roads, hospitals, and community. We know where accidents happen most often and which local doctors provide the best treatment for injury victims. This local knowledge helps build stronger cases for our clients.

Our Results and Experience in Maricopa County

We’ve helped hundreds of Scottsdale residents get fair compensation after accidents. With over 15 years serving Scottsdale, we’ve secured settlements ranging from $50,000 to $2.5 million for local clients. From crashes on Loop 101 to slip and falls at local businesses, we know how to handle negligence cases in our community. Our team works with local medical providers and understands how Maricopa County Superior Court handles personal injury cases.

Contingency Fees — No Win, No Fee, No Upfront Costs

We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case. We cover all case costs during litigation, so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal work.

Local Courts, Insurers, and Medical Providers We Work With

Our firm regularly works with Scottsdale City Court and Maricopa County Superior Court. We know the judges, court staff, and local rules. We also have relationships with HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn and HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Centers, and frequently negotiate with State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, and other major insurers operating in Arizona. We work closely with local rehabilitation facilities to ensure our clients get the care they need.

Injury Cases We Handle in Scottsdale

Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common personal injury cases in Scottsdale. We help victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Motorcycle and Truck Crashes

These accidents often cause severe injuries. We understand the unique challenges these cases present and fight for maximum compensation.

Uber & Lyft Rideshare Accidents

A rideshare accident (Uber & Lyft) involves complex insurance issues. We know how to navigate these claims and understand the different coverage tiers:

App off: driver’s personal policy applies
App on/no ride accepted: limited TNC liability coverage
En route/with passenger: up to $1,000,000 third-party liability coverage

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Vulnerable road users often suffer serious injuries. We fight for full compensation in pedestrian accident and bicycle accident cases.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Property owners must keep their premises safe. If you’ve been hurt due to dangerous conditions, we can help prove premises liability.

Dog Bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025)

Arizona has strict dog bite laws. Under A.R.S. § 11-1025 (dog bite strict liability), owners are responsible for injuries their dogs cause.

Product Liability

Defective products can cause serious harm. We hold manufacturers accountable through product liability claims.

Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Abuse (A.R.S. § 12-2603)

Healthcare providers must meet professional standards. When they fail, we help victims seek justice. A.R.S. § 12-2603 (medical malpractice expert affidavit) requires a preliminary expert opinion affidavit, with timing tied to initial disclosures—not necessarily before filing the complaint.

Catastrophic Injuries (TBI, Spinal Cord)

A catastrophic injury like a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury changes everything. We fight for compensation that covers lifetime care needs.

Construction Accidents

Construction workers face daily dangers. We help injured workers get compensation beyond workers’ comp when third parties are responsible.

Wrongful Death (A.R.S. §§ 12-611-12-613)

Losing a loved one is devastating. Under A.R.S. §§ 12-611-12-613 (wrongful death), surviving family members can seek justice and compensation. In Arizona, the spouse, children, parents, or personal representative can file, and damages are measured under § 12-613.

Arizona Personal Injury Law — Deadlines & Fault

A.R.S. § 12-542: Arizona’s 2-Year Statute of Limitations

Under A.R.S. § 12-542 (two-year statute of limitations), you have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. Don’t wait – evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time.

A.R.S. § 12-2505: Pure Comparative Fault Rules

Arizona follows A.R.S. § 12-2505 (pure comparative fault). This means you can recover damages even if you’re partially at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. This is called comparative negligence.

Government Claims: 180-Day Notice & 1-Year Suit (A.R.S. §§ 12-821.01, 12-821)

If a government entity caused your injury, special rules apply. Notice of claim for public entities (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) requires filing within 180 days. The notice must state a specific sum (sum certain) and be served on the proper person. A.R.S. § 12-821 (one-year statute for actions against public entities) requires filing suit within one year.

Dram Shop & Social Host Liability (A.R.S. §§ 4-311, 4-312)

Under A.R.S. §§ 4-311 and 4-312 (dram shop and social host liability), bars and hosts can be liable for serving alcohol to obviously intoxicated people who cause accidents.

Punitive Damages in Arizona (and Limits for Public Entities)

Arizona allows punitive damages for extremely reckless behavior. There are no caps on compensatory damages in most personal injury cases. However, punitive damages are not available against public entities in Arizona under A.R.S. § 12-820.04.

Our Process: From Free Review to Settlement or Trial

Free Consultation & Case Review

We start with a free consultation to understand your situation and explain your rights.

Investigation, Evidence, and Spoliation Letters

We collect medical records, witness statements, and other evidence. We may send a spoliation letter to preserve crucial evidence.

Demand Package, Negotiation, and Insurance Claims

We send a demand letter outlining your damages and negotiate aggressively for fair compensation with the insurance claim process.

Filing in Maricopa County Superior Court; Mediation/Arbitration/Trial

If necessary, we file your lawsuit as the plaintiff against the defendant in Maricopa County Superior Court. Maricopa County has compulsory arbitration for cases under the local monetary threshold, which can accelerate resolution. We explore all options including mediation, arbitration, or trial to get you the best outcome.

IMEs, Expert Witnesses, Liens, and Subrogation

We prepare you for any independent medical examination (IME) and work with expert witnesses to strengthen your case. We handle medical lien negotiations and subrogation issues to maximize your recovery.

Damages & Insurance Coverage

Medical Bills, Lost Wages, and Pain & Suffering

All past and future medical costs related to your injury, from emergency care to physical therapy, plus income you’ve lost while recovering and compensation for pain and suffering.

Future Care and Life Care Plans

For serious injuries, a life care plan ensures you receive compensation for lifetime medical needs.

Loss of Earning Capacity and Loss of Consortium

If injuries affect your ability to work, we seek compensation for reduced earning potential. Spouses may receive compensation for loss of consortium when injuries affect the marital relationship.

Property Damage and Diminished Value

Repairs or replacement of damaged property, including vehicles. Beyond repairs, we seek compensation for diminished value of your vehicle after an accident.

Using UM/UIM and MedPay to Maximize Recovery

We help you access uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) and medical payments coverage (MedPay) from your own policy when needed. During your case, medical bills can be handled through MedPay, your health insurance or AHCCCS, provider liens/LOPs (letters of protection), with balances resolved from your settlement through subrogation.
