Most Phoenix crash claims settle with an insurer. Arizona lets you recover something even if you were mostly at fault, so don't assume you have no case because the other driver blames you. Arizona's minimum liability limits are low compared with the cost of a serious injury, so check your own policy for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to sue after a car accident in Arizona?

Generally 2 years under A.R.S. 12-542. If a government vehicle or road defect was involved, deadlines for a notice of claim are much shorter.

What should I do after a crash in Phoenix?

Get medical care, call the police, take photos and collect names, plates and insurance details. Keep records of bills and missed work, and be careful about a recorded statement to the other insurer.

Do I need a lawyer for a minor crash?

Not always. If injuries are minor and the insurer is fair, you may settle yourself. Consider a lawyer if you have ongoing symptoms, disputed fault or an insurer that has gone quiet.
