If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Phoenix, you need an experienced attorney who understands Arizona law. At Triumph Law Group, our Phoenix car accident lawyers have recovered millions in compensation for injured clients.

With a 98% success rate and a team of four experienced attorneys, we’re committed to helping you recover the full compensation you deserve.

Why You Need a Phoenix Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents can change your life in an instant. Beyond the immediate physical injuries, you may face growing medical bills, lost income, property damage, and lasting emotional distress. Insurance companies know how overwhelming this can be and often use it to their advantage. Their adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and pressure victims into accepting quick, low-value settlements.

When you hire a Phoenix car accident lawyer from Triumph Law Group, you gain a dedicated advocate who protects your rights from day one. We conduct thorough investigations, identify every liable party, and build strong, evidence-backed cases designed to maximize your recovery. Our firm has helped clients obtain compensation for catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other serious harm resulting from motor vehicle accidents.

Our Phoenix personal injury attorneys understand Arizona’s comparative negligence laws and know how to counter the tactics insurance companies use to limit claims. We are fully prepared to take cases to trial when insurers refuse to offer fair compensation. This trial-ready approach often results in stronger settlements and better outcomes for our clients.

How Triumph Law Group Handles Your Car Accident Case

Our approach to car accident cases is thorough and client-focused. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

• Initial Consultation: We meet with you to understand the details of your situation, assess your specific needs, and explain your legal options. This consultation is free, and there’s no obligation. During this meeting, we determine whether your case involves a personal injury claim or a potential wrongful death action.
• Investigation:  Our team carefully investigates the accident scene, obtains police reports, interviews witnesses, and gathers photographs and other evidence. We also review medical records and consult with experts when needed to show the full extent of your injuries. This detailed approach is especially important in cases involving catastrophic injuries or paralysis, where establishing the cause and long-term impact is critical.
• Demand and Negotiation: We prepare a detailed demand letter outlining your injuries, damages, and the liability evidence supporting your claim. We then negotiate directly with the insurance company to reach a fair settlement. Our negotiation strategy draws on our experience with motor vehicle accidents across all severity levels.
• Trial Preparation: If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we begin preparing your case for trial. Unlike firms that push clients to settle quickly, Triumph Law Group is fully trial-ready and prepared to fight for your rights in court. Our team has successfully tried cases involving serious injuries and wrongful death, giving us the experience needed to pursue justice when negotiations fail.
• Resolution: Whether through settlement or verdict, we work to maximize your recovery and help you receive compensation for all your damages.

Understanding Arizona Car Accident Laws & Liability

Under Arizona’s pure comparative negligence law (A.R.S. § 12-2505), you can recover compensation even if you were more than 50% at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you receive $80,000. Exception: No recovery is available if you are solely at fault or acted intentionally, willfully, or wantonly.

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Arizona is two years from the date of the accident. This deadline is critical; if you miss it, you lose your right to pursue compensation. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to protect your rights. For wrongful death cases, the timeline may differ, so early consultation is essential.

Establishing liability in a car accident requires proving that the other driver owed you a duty of care. They must have breached that duty through negligent or reckless conduct. Finally, their actions must have caused your injuries as a result. Arizona law recognizes various forms of negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and driving under the influence. Our attorneys know how to gather and present evidence that demonstrates liability and supports your claim for damages. We’ve handled cases ranging from minor injuries to catastrophic injuries requiring ongoing care.

Types of Car Accidents We Handle

Triumph Law Group represents clients injured in all types of car accidents, including:

• Rear-end collisions (often caused by distracted driving or following too closely)
• Intersection accidents (resulting from failure to yield, running red lights, or speeding)
• Highway accidents (involving high-speed collisions and multiple vehicles)
• Parking lot accidents (including hit-and-run incidents and property damage disputes)
• Hit-and-run accidents (where we work to identify the responsible driver)
• Distracted driving accidents (caused by texting, phone use, or other distractions)
• Drunk driving accidents (involving impaired drivers and DUI violations)
• Reckless driving accidents (caused by aggressive or dangerous driving behaviors)
• Rollover accidents (often linked to high-speed crashes, vehicle design, or road hazards)
• Automobile defect accidents (resulting from faulty brakes, tires, or other vehicle defects)
• Uninsured and underinsured driver accidents (when the at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage)

Regardless of the accident type, our attorneys have the experience and resources to investigate thoroughly and build a compelling case on your behalf. We also handle motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents with the same level of dedication. Many of these accidents result in catastrophic injuries requiring specialized legal representation.

Compensation You Can Recover in a Phoenix Car Accident

Arizona law allows you to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages resulting from a car accident:

• Economic Damages include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working, and property damage to your vehicle. For clients with catastrophic injuries, these damages can be substantial and long-term.
• Non-Economic Damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent scarring or disfigurement. Cases involving traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries often result in significant non-economic damages.
• Punitive Damages may be available in cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, such as drunk driving or reckless driving that causes serious injury. We’ve successfully recovered punitive damages in drunk driving accident cases.

The value of your case depends on several factors. These include the severity of your injuries, the strength of the liability evidence, your medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. Triumph Law Group has recovered substantial compensation for car accident clients. In one case, we secured a $1.25 million settlement for a client with serious injuries. In another case, we recovered $600,000 for a client injured in a motor vehicle accident. These results demonstrate our commitment to maximizing recovery for our clients. For cases involving wrongful death, we have recovered up to $4.6 million—our largest recovery to date.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Phoenix

Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can significantly impact your case:

• At the Scene: First, help everyone get to safety. Move to a safe location if possible and call 911 if anyone is injured. Call the Phoenix Police Department to report the accident and obtain a police report number. If the accident involves hit-and-run circumstances, document any vehicle information you can gather.
• Document Everything: Take photographs of vehicle damage, accident scene conditions, traffic signs, and weather. Get the other driver’s name, phone number, address, insurance information, and vehicle details. Collect contact information from witnesses. This documentation is critical for establishing liability in your personal injury claim.
• Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, see a doctor immediately. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal injuries, may not be apparent right away. Medical records establish the connection between the accident and your injuries. For serious accidents, this documentation is essential for catastrophic injury claims.
• Preserve Evidence: Keep all medical records, receipts for accident-related expenses, repair estimates, and correspondence with insurance companies. This evidence is crucial for your case.
• Do Not Admit Fault: Never apologize or admit responsibility at the scene. Avoid discussing the accident with the other driver’s insurance company without an attorney present. Insurance adjusters may use your statements against you.
• Contact an Attorney: Call Triumph Law Group as soon as possible. The sooner we begin investigating, the better we can preserve evidence and build your case. Early consultation is especially important for wrongful death or catastrophic injury cases.
