What to Do After an Accident in Tucson (TPD/DPS)

Call 911 & Get a Police Report (TPD/DPS)

Always call 911 for serious accidents. Get a police report from the Tucson Police Department (TPD) or Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). This official documentation is crucial for your claims process.

Get Care at Banner, TMC, Carondelet Hospitals

Seek immediate treatment at Banner, TMC, Carondelet hospitals or other medical facilities. Your health comes first, and medical records provide essential evidence for your case.

Document Evidence & Witnesses

Take photos of injuries, vehicle damage, and the accident scene. Get contact information from witnesses. Write down details while they’re fresh in your memory.

Avoid Recorded Statements/Social Media

Don’t give recorded statements to insurance adjusters without legal advice. Avoid posting about your accident on social media — insurers monitor these platforms.

Notify Insurer; Preserve UM/UIM & MedPay Rights

Report the accident to your insurance company while preserving your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) and medical payments coverage (MedPay) rights.

Our Process: From Free Consultation to Case Resolution

What to Bring to Your First Meeting

Bring your police report number, photos, medical records/bills, insurance info (including UM/UIM/MedPay), and any correspondence from insurers. To make your consultation most productive, bring:

  • Police report number
  • Photos/videos of accident scene and injuries
  • Medical records/bills
  • Insurance cards/policy (including UM/UIM/MedPay)
  • Any insurer letters or correspondence

Investigation, Spoliation Letters & Evidence Collection

We immediately send spoliation letters to preserve evidence and begin thorough investigation. Our team gathers police reports, medical records, and witness statements. To prove negligence in Arizona, we show duty, breach, causation, and damages, using police reports, medical records, and expert testimony to establish liability.

Demand Package, Mediation & Arbitration

We handle all communication with insurance companies, preparing comprehensive demand letters and negotiating aggressively for fair compensation. Many cases resolve through mediation or arbitration without going to trial.

Property Damage Help & Rental Car Support

We can coordinate your property damage claim, negotiate total loss valuation, and help secure a rental car while liability is sorted. Our support includes:

  • Repair/total loss negotiation
  • Diminished value claims
  • Rental car coordination

Litigation, Trial & Appeal

If insurers won’t offer fair settlements, we’re ready for litigation. Most Tucson cases are filed in Pima County Superior Court; we handle pleadings, discovery, and pre-trial conferences, and prepare you for each step. We represent you through trial and any necessary appeal for case resolution.

Fees & Costs (Contingency Fee, Expenses, Liens, AHCCCS/ERISA)

No Fee Unless We Win; When Percentages Apply

We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win. Typical percentages range from 33% to 40% depending on when your case resolves. Fees are typically lower for pre-suit settlements and increase if we file, go to trial, or handle an appeal. We outline this in writing at sign-up.

  • Typical percentage tiers (pre-suit/filed/trial/appeal)
  • Common case expenses (experts, records, filing/serving)
  • When expenses are reimbursed
  • No fee if no recovery

Case Expenses & Expert Witnesses

While we advance costs for things like expert witnesses and court filings, these expenses are reimbursed from your settlement or verdict.

Medical Liens & Subrogation (AHCCCS/ERISA)

We help navigate complex issues like medical liens, subrogation, and health insurance reimbursement including AHCCCS and ERISA plans.

Timeline: How Long Tucson Cases Take (Policy Limits Impact)

Key Stages: Pre-Suit vs. Litigation

Most cases follow a predictable path: initial investigation, medical treatment, demand package submission, negotiation, and resolution through settlement or trial. Pre-suit settlements are faster than cases requiring trial.

Factors: Liability Disputes, Injuries, Treatment, Policy Limits

Simple cases might settle in 3-6 months. Complex litigation can take 1-2 years or more. Case complexity, injury severity, disputed liability, and policy limits all impact how long resolution takes.

Compensation & Damages in Arizona

Economic: Medical Expenses, Lost Income, Property Damage

  • Medical expenses — Past and future treatment costs
  • Lost income — Wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage — Vehicle repairs or replacement

Non-Economic: Pain & Suffering, Disability, Disfigurement

  • Pain and suffering — Physical and emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Punitive Damages & When They Apply

In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional harm, Arizona law allows punitive damages to punish defendants and deter similar conduct.

UM/UIM & MedPay Benefits

Your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may provide compensation when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. Medical payments coverage (MedPay) can help with immediate medical expenses regardless of fault.

Arizona Injury Law & Deadlines (A.R.S. § 12-542, § 12-821.01, § 12-2505)

Statute of Limitations

Under A.R.S. § 12-542, you generally have two years from the injury date to file a personal injury lawsuit in Arizona.

Comparative Fault

Arizona follows pure comparative fault rules (A.R.S. § 12-2505). Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover even if you’re partially responsible.

Government Claims: 180-Day Notice of Claim

Claims against government entities require a Notice of Claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01).

No Caps on Damages • Local Courts (Pima County Superior Court, Tucson City Court)

Unlike some states, Arizona doesn’t cap damages in personal injury cases, allowing full recovery for your losses. Cases are typically filed in Pima County Superior Court or Tucson City Court depending on jurisdiction.

Risks & Challenges (Insurer Surveillance, Low Offers)

  • Disputed liability when fault isn’t clear
  • Pre-existing conditions complicating injury claims
  • Gaps in treatment undermining your case
  • Low settlement offers from insurance companies
  • Surveillance and social media monitoring by insurers

While settlements offer faster resolution and guaranteed compensation, trial may yield higher awards but involves risk and longer timelines.

Client Support & Communication (Dedicated Contact • Spanish Available)

You’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout your case with regular updates on progress. We offer both virtual and in-person meetings for your convenience. Our bilingual team provides full Spanish-language support.

Tucson & Pima County Service Areas

Our firm represents injury victims throughout Tucson and surrounding communities including Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, Vail, Green Valley, South Tucson, and all of Pima County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your contingency fees change if we settle before filing, after filing, or after trial/appeal? Are there any upfront costs?

Yes, fees are typically lower for pre-suit settlements (often 33%) and increase if we file suit (usually 40%), go to trial, or handle an appeal. There are no upfront costs — we advance all case expenses and only get reimbursed if we win.

Will you handle my property damage, rental car, and medical billing while my injury claim is pending?

Yes, we can coordinate your property damage claim, help secure a rental car, and work with medical providers on billing issues while your injury claim proceeds.

If I’m partly at fault, can I still recover under Arizona’s comparative fault law (A.R.S. § 12-2505)?

Yes, Arizona follows pure comparative fault. Even if you’re partially at fault, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.

How much do Tucson personal injury lawyers charge?

Most work on contingency fees, typically 33-40% of your recovery. You pay nothing upfront and nothing if you don’t win.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Arizona?

Generally two years from the injury date, but some cases have different deadlines. Contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.

Should I speak to the insurance adjuster?

What if the at-fault driver is uninsured?

Your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may provide compensation. We help maximize all available insurance benefits.
