Our Peoria injury attorneys handle a wide range of accident and injury cases. Each case is different, but most involve injuries caused by negligence, unsafe conditions, or careless decisions.
Car accidents often involve insurance disputes, injury documentation, and questions of fault. Our car accident attorneys help clients pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term effects of crash-related injuries.
Crashes involving commercial trucks tend to be more complex and may involve multiple responsible parties, including drivers and trucking companies.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable in collisions and often suffer severe injuries even at lower speeds. Our attorneys represent riders injured by negligent drivers.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently sustain serious injuries. These cases often require careful investigation to establish driver responsibility.
Property owners can be held responsible when unsafe conditions cause falls that result in injury.
Some work injuries involve third-party claims in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
Injuries caused by unsafe or defective products may involve claims against manufacturers or distributors.
We represent families whose loved ones suffered harm due to neglect or mistreatment in care facilities.
Car accidents raise immediate questions that many people are not prepared to answer. Who pays for medical care? What happens if symptoms appear days later? How do insurance companies decide fault?
Our Peoria attorneys help car accident victims understand what steps matter early on. This includes documenting injuries, avoiding common insurance pitfalls, and understanding how fault and coverage affect a claim. We handle communication with insurers so clients can focus on treatment and recovery.
If you have suffered an injury at the hands of another person, you must be able to prove he or she was at fault for the underlying accident due to negligence. There are four elements of negligence:
The other party violated or breached the duty of care by failing to act as a reasonable person would have in the same situation. Examples of a breach of duty include:
The breach of duty of care must have directly caused your injuries. Without the breach of duty, the victim would have otherwise been left unharmed.
The person’s injuries from this breach must have caused actual damages. Examples of these damages include medical bills, loss of income and other out-of-pocket costs needed for treatment and recovery.

If you are considering taking legal action, you may be wondering how much your case could be worth. To make this determination, our Peoria personal injury attorneys will have to consider several different factors unique to your situation. This includes the extent of your injuries, treatment received and your recovery time.
Personal injury victims may be eligible to recover the following types of damages:
Other damages that you may be able to pursue include emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of companionship.
Even if you share some fault for your injury, you may be eligible to recover damages. Under Arizona’s comparative negligence statute, the amount of damages will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but you are found to be 60 percent at fault for the accident, the award amount would decrease 60 percent or $60,000. This means you would pocket a total of $40,000.
Our experienced Peoria personal injury attorneys have in-depth knowledge of negligence laws and how these laws may apply to your situation. Let us review your claim during a free and confidential consultation.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer in Peoria often results in victims obtaining more compensation than they otherwise would.

They may receive compensation, but the amount could be much less than the value of their claim.

Our lawyers know how to conduct a detailed investigation to gather the necessary evidence to help prove negligence occurred.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?
Get medical care first, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene if possible and avoid discussing fault with insurers before speaking to a lawyer. Contacting a car accident attorney as soon as possible helps ensure your claim goes smoothly.
How Much Is My Claim Worth?
There is no set amount. Claim value depends on medical costs, lost income, injury severity, and how the accident affects your daily life.
Can I Handle My Personal Injury Case Myself?
Some minor claims can be handled without legal help, but more serious injuries or disputed cases often benefit from attorney involvement.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?
Simple cases may resolve in months. More complex cases can take longer, especially if litigation becomes necessary.
Personal injury cases in Arizona follow a statute of limitations, which sets a strict time limit for filing an injury claim. Failure to file before this time limit will likely result in the court dismissing the case.
In most cases, you must file within two years from the date of the accident. Only certain exceptions could lengthen or shorten the time limit. You have up to 180 days to file a claim after an injury caused by a government entity or until your 20th birthday to file if you were a minor at the time of your injury.
If you have any questions about the statute of limitations or are unsure if your time to file has passed, we encourage you to reach out to a knowledgeable Peoria personal injury attorney.
When you are involved in an accident and file a claim against the other party’s insurance company, an insurance adjuster will probably contact you to ask what happened.
The adjuster’s goal is to limit the insurance company’s liability and minimize the amount of compensation you receive, if any. Adjusters handle many accident claims, so they have a lot of experience talking to victims and trying to negotiate settlements that favor the insurance company. That gives the adjuster an advantage over accident victims who are often unfamiliar with the claims process and do not know how much their claims could be worth.
Our legal team knows the tactics adjusters commonly use to make you appear to be at fault or lacking in credibility. We recommend not recording any statement or signing documentation until you have sought legal help.
What you do following an injury is important because there are certain things that can be done to protect your health and your potential legal claim. Some of the steps you can take to help build a strong case for fair compensation include:
It is important to obtain immediate medical attention so that a doctor or other health care professional can document your injuries and create a treatment plan. Even if you are unsure about the extent of your injuries, you should seek treatment and carefully follow your doctor’s orders. This could include going to any required physical therapy or counseling for post-traumatic stress. Having medical records and receipts for treatment makes it harder for the other side to discredit your injuries.
If you are able to, preserve as much evidence as you can. This includes taking photographs and/or video of the accident scene, any visible injuries and torn or bloody clothing, property damage, and anything else that could be relevant to your claim. Obtain a copy of the police/accident report and collect the names and contact information from any witnesses.
After an injury, you may be tempted to accept the insurance company’s first offer so that you can pay your medical bills or recover payment for lost wages. However, accepting the first offer could prevent you from being able to recover maximum compensation. That is why you should talk with a Peoria personal injury attorney about the offer and whether it provides fair compensation.
Everything you say or post on social media could be used against you. It is important that you refrain from discussing the accident, your injuries, or anything about the case until you have reached a settlement or verdict. The other side’s insurance company or defense attorney will be on these social media platforms trying to see if they can use anything against you. Be sure to ask friends and family to not post about the case either.
