Collect Evidence
Take photos of the scene, gather witness information, and document all details while they’re fresh.

Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Mesa
In Arizona personal injury cases, the “plaintiff” is the injured party filing the claim, while the “defendant” is the at-fault party or their insurer being sued for damages.
Vehicle Accidents
Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents are common on Mesa’s busy roads. We handle all types of motor vehicle collisions.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions
Vulnerable road users need strong legal representation for serious injuries.
Slip and Fall (Premises Liability)
Property owners must maintain safe conditions. We hold them accountable for negligence.
Construction Site & Workplace Third-Party Claims
Beyond workers’ compensation, we pursue negligent contractors, subcontractors, and equipment manufacturers for workplace injuries.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Arizona’s dog bite strict liability law (A.R.S. § 11-1025) protects victims.
Wrongful Death Claims
We help families seek justice under Arizona’s wrongful death statutes (A.R.S. §§ 12-611-12-613). Survival actions recover pre-death damages like medical bills and pain, while wrongful death claims compensate families for their losses.
Rideshare and Delivery Driver Accidents
Rideshare accidents (Uber, Lyft) involve complex insurance issues we can navigate.
Commercial Vehicle Crashes
Trucking accidents often cause severe injuries requiring experienced legal help.
Product Liability
Defective products causing injury may lead to product liability claims.
Government Entity Claims
Claims against public entities require following special procedures under A.R.S. § 12-821 and notice requirements under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. To report ongoing roadway hazards, contact ADOT at 855-712-4636 or Mesa Public Works at 480-644-2727 to preserve future claims.
Dram Shop Liability (A.R.S. §§ 4-311, 4-312)
Bars overserving alcohol may face dram shop liability under A.R.S. § 4-311. A.R.S. § 4-312 outlines limitations and defenses—we evaluate overservice and causation evidence quickly to build strong claims.
Injuries We See and Treat as Part of Your Claim
Common Injury Types
We handle cases involving whiplash, soft tissue injuries, fractures, and orthopedic injuries. More severe cases include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, and spinal cord injuries.
Serious and Catastrophic Injuries
Burns, lacerations, scarring, and disfigurement require extensive medical treatment. We also handle cases involving internal organ damage, amputations, and crush injuries.
Psychological Trauma
PTSD and emotional distress are real damages we pursue in your claim.
Wrongful Death & Survival Actions
When accidents are fatal, we pursue both survival actions for the victim’s pre-death suffering and wrongful death damages for surviving family members.
Arizona PI Laws: Statute of Limitations, Comparative Negligence, Several Liability
Statute of Limitations
Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-542 gives you two years to file most personal injury claims. Don’t wait – evidence disappears and witnesses forget.
Key Evidence Under Arizona Negligence Law
Arizona negligence law requires proving duty, breach, causation, and damages. We gather police reports, witness statements, expert testimony, and medical records to establish each element.
Special Rules for Minors & the Discovery Rule
Minors’ claims are tolled until age 18, giving them until age 20 to file. The discovery rule can extend deadlines when injuries were not reasonably discoverable at the time of the incident.
Comparative Fault Rules
Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505), meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault.
Several Liability
Under A.R.S. § 12-2506, each defendant pays only their share of fault.
No Damage Caps
Arizona Constitution, art. 2, § 31 prohibits caps on damages in personal injury cases.
Special Deadlines for Government Claims
You have only 180 days to file notice and one year to sue government entities.
Don’t Miss Your Deadline!
The statute of limitations can bar your claim forever. Call us today for a free consultation.
