Our Phoenix lawyers have the expertise and resources to stand up to insurers and fight for the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve been hurt in Phoenix, seek medical attention right away, and document the scene. But don’t speak to any insurance companies until you speak with an attorney. Arizona gives you two years to file a lawsuit under A.R.S. § 12-542. Sharing some blame for the accident may reduce what you recover. Contact Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys today.
Arizona’s personal injury statute of limitations is set out in A.R.S. § 12-542. You have two years from the date you were hurt to file a lawsuit in civil court. That clock almost always starts on the day of the accident, not when your injuries become fully apparent.
Unfortunately, courts strictly enforce this deadline. If you miss it by even a day, you may lose your right to compensation, no matter the strength of your claim.
Arizona uses a pure comparative fault system under A.R.S. § 12-2505. In plain terms, responsibility for an accident can be divided between more than one party. Insurers often argue that an injured person shares some blame for what happened. This is a common tactic they use to reduce the amount they have to pay. But that argument does not automatically end your claim. An attorney can push back and negotiate on your behalf.
Did your accident involve a city-owned vehicle or a government-operated bus? You may need to file under a different deadline. Speak with an attorney rather than trying to navigate the timeline on your own.
Maricopa County is Arizona’s largest county. It consistently records the highest crash volume in the state. According to AZDOT data, Phoenix recorded approximately 37,472 vehicle crashes in 2024. In that same report, Maricopa County accounted for 72.74% of Arizona’s crashes in 2024.
The numbers reflect the reality of living in one of the country’s fastest-growing metro areas. Yet, specific road conditions have made certain corridors dangerous for years: Interstate 10, Interstate 17, and U.S. Highway 60.
For example, I-10 cuts through the center of Phoenix. The segment near the I-10/I-17 interchange is one of the most crash-concentrated stretches of highway in Arizona. This corridor packs two major freeway junctions, dense ramp activity, and heavy traffic volume into just a few miles. High speeds combined with short distances create frequent rear-end crashes and multi-vehicle pile-ups.
Interstate 17 (I-17) runs north from Phoenix toward Flagstaff. It carries a heavy mix of daily commuters, commercial trucks, and Grand Canyon tourists. The highway’s long straight sections encourage high speeds, and transition points constantly cause collisions.
U.S. Highway 60, or “Grand Avenue”, presents a different challenge entirely. But it is no less dangerous. Narrow lanes, sharp curves near the I-10 junction, and traffic are all potential hazards. They create a prime location for sideswipe crashes, pedestrian strikes, and rear-end collisions.
In Arizona, any time you spend waiting after an accident lets evidence disappear. Skid marks fade, and surveillance footage gets overwritten. Witnesses become harder to locate. Act quickly and speak with an attorney to protect your case.

Have questions about finding the right attorney in Phoenix? From injury claims to insurance disputes, here are answers to common questions local clients often ask.
Our attorneys in Phoenix, AZ are often contacted after serious accidents caused by negligence. That could be a driver hit by someone who wasn’t paying attention or a worker injured on a construction site where safety rules were ignored. In these situations, people are left with medical bills, lost income, trauma, and a long recovery. We step in to show how the injury happened and fight for compensation that reflects the true impact on a client’s life.
Yes, we regularly represent people whose insurers avoid paying what policies are supposed to cover. These disputes usually come after a house has been damaged or a business has suffered losses, and the insurer refuses to provide full support. Our attorneys explain how the coverage should apply and collect proof of the loss to hold the company to its obligations. This way, clients aren’t left paying out of pocket for something that should have been covered.
Great question. A denied or delayed claim can put people in a difficult position, leaving them without the resources they expected when they bought their policy. Our Phoenix insurance dispute attorneys can review the policy and examine how the claim was handled, identifying where the insurer failed to meet its obligations. We then push for a resolution through negotiation or, if needed, through legal action. Having our lawyers involved sends a clear message that the client will not be ignored and that fair compensation must be paid.
Absolutely! Our Phoenix lawyers often represent families and businesses after storms, fires, or other destructive events leave property unsafe or destroyed. Insurance companies may limit payouts or delay the claims process, leaving people without the means to repair or rebuild. We work with clients to document the damage and present a strong claim to the insurer. Our focus is on making sure clients are fairly compensated so they can restore their homes or businesses without carrying costs that should fall to the insurance company.
