Our team of personal injury attorneys in Tucson handle a variety of claims ranging from:
When you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, that was not your fault, the negligent parties owe you compensation. Our car accident attorneys can gather evidence of negligence and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Drivers are sometimes so focused on other cars on the road that they miss cyclists and pedestrians. Obviously these accidents can cause devastating injuries, and you need an experienced Tucson attorney to ensure you receive adequate compensation.
Property owners and lessees must maintain their premises to be safe for visitors. If you fell on someone else’s property and sustained an injury, the property owner could be liable.
We represent people who were injured in accidents while on someone else’s property. A property owner could owe you compensation if you were hurt by a falling object, fire, building collapse, criminal attack, or numerous other dangerous and preventable situations.
When a negligent, reckless, or criminal act leads to a fatality, a victim’s family can seek justice through a wrongful death lawsuit. These civil actions hold the wrong doer financially accountable for your loved one’s death.
When a medical professional does not meet an appropriate standard of care and causes you or your child and injury, you can bring a medical malpractice lawsuit. Because of the challenging subject matter and procedural hurdles, working with an experienced attorney is essential.
Deaths and serious injuries due to unsafe medications and faulty medical devices are surprisingly common. Phillips Law Group has the collective experience and resources to take on the large companies behind these products and force them to compensate you for your injuries.
The government forces the recall of several hundred consumer items every year due to safety issues. This number does not include products voluntarily taken off the market because they pose a danger to the public. The companies who profit from these dangerous consumer products owe you compensation if you were injured when using them.
Dog owners are financially liable for the injuries their animals cause. Unless you were trespassing on the dog owner’s property or tormenting the animal, the owner is likely liable for any harm you suffered.
If your child is injured at school, in a car accident, or in any preventable accident that was not your fault, you may have a legal claim. Childhood injury cases can be more complex than those involving adults, so working with an experienced attorney is critical.
Sexual abuse is a cruel form of injury that can impact the victim for decades. The compassionate attorneys at Phillips Law Group can bring civil claims against individual perpetrators and the institutions that enabled the abuse for survivors nationwide.

Many personal injury claims arise out of car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Arizona uses a fault-based system to resolve vehicle accident claims. The party who is to blame for the accident pays the losses of anyone injured in the crash.
If you are conscious and able to converse immediately after the crash, try to be careful about what you say. Do not take responsibility for the accident and do not apologize for it. An insurance company for another involved driver could use those words as an admission of fault, which could limit your damages.
If emergency services personnel offer you an ambulance to a hospital, take it even if you feel it is not necessary. In other cases, see a medical professional as quickly as possible after the accident. A doctor can scream for hidden injuries, and the medical record that they generate is important evidence if you bring a claim against the at-fault driver.
This is often one of the first questions accident victims have when they meet with our attorneys. However, the answer to this question is complicated. Generally, a personal injury attorney must prove an injury resulted from negligence to have a case.
Negligence has four elements, and your attorney must prove each one:
For more than two decades, our Tucson personal injury attorneys have been pursuing compensation for victims of negligence. We have the experience and resources to fully litigate personal injury cases.
You may have some amount of fault for your injuries, but it is important to let the investigation play out before admitting it to the insurance company. This is an issue you can discuss with your attorney because it will be kept confidential.
You may still be able to recover compensation if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident. Arizona’s law of comparative negligence says victims will have any compensation they receive reduced by their percentage of fault.
This is a complex issue you can talk to your attorney about. Our Tucson personal injury attorneys have in-depth knowledge of Arizona laws affecting injury claims.
The value of a case depends on many factors, such as the severity of your injuries and the damages suffered. Damages can be divided into two categories, economic and non-economic compensation.
Economic compensation is compensation for the financial costs associated with a personal injury. These can include:
Non-economic compensation refers to the non-financial aspects of an injury, which may include:
The value of the damages you suffered depends on the specifics of your case. Our Tucson personal injury attorneys are committed to pursuing the maximum value of our clients’ injury claims. We understand how difficult the aftermath of a personal injury can be for both victims and their families.
You can discuss this and other aspects your claim with one of our trusted lawyers in a free legal consultation.
We welcome the chance to help you. Our firm can be reached 24/7.
It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible because there are deadlines for filing injury claims. The clock usually starts running on the date of the accident that led to your injury. In most cases, victims have two years from this date to file a claim. This is explained in Arizona’s statute of limitations.
If you do not file a claim before the statute of limitations expires, you may lose the right to do so. Even if you file a claim, it will likely be dismissed in court.
While this deadline applies to many claims, there can be exceptions. For example, you may not have been aware of your injury on the same date as the accident. Maybe your symptoms were delayed, and you did not discover the injury until days later. In these cases, the two-year clock would not start to run until the date you made this discovery.
There are also exceptions for injury claims filed by minors. The two-year statute of limitations does not start to run until the victim turns 18 years of age.
Claims against government employees or other government entities must be filed within 180 days of the injury.
Phillips Law Group’s Tucson personal injury attorneys have extensive knowledge of the statute of limitations for personal injury claims.
Insurance companies usually contact accident victims soon after to try to get them to quickly accept a settlement. They know accident victims are vulnerable because they are in pain and unsure of what their damages may be worth. This makes them more likely to accept a lowball settlement offer.
If the victim rejects the settlement offer, the insurance company may try to get the victim to provide a recorded statement or sign a waiver for access to medical records. These are tricks insurers use to try to find ways to diminish the value of an accident claim or reject it altogether.
These are reasons why it is important to have experienced legal representation. Our attorneys deal with insurance companies on behalf of our clients. We know how to protect the value of a claim from insurance companies looking to pay out much less than victims deserve.
We are prepared to thoroughly investigate a claim to gather detailed evidence of negligence and establish the value of damages. We have a team of investigators, industry experts and support staff ready to build cases.

You may not have a chance to talk to an attorney before the insurance company calls you. It is important to be very cautious about what you say to the insurance company. They know how to sound friendly so they can try to persuade you to damage your claim with the statements you make.
For example, they may try to get you to say you are partially to blame or minimize the extent of your injuries. They often ask similar versions of the same question in hopes you say something to discredit your story about the accident.
Despite what they may tell you, you are under no obligation to provide a recorded statement. You may need to do this at some point, but you should discuss it with an experienced attorney first.
The personal injury lawyers at Phillips Law Group have decades of combined experience dealing with Tucson insurance companies. Your consultation is free and there are no upfront costs.
The first priority after an accident is to be seen by licensed medical professionals so your injuries can be diagnosed and treatment can begin. No matter how minor you believe your injuries to be, you should be cautious and be seen by a doctor. You may have internal injuries or injuries with delayed symptoms.
The other problem with waiting to seek treatment is it gives the insurance company reason to doubt the severity of your injuries or their connection to the accident.
There are other steps you can take to help preserve your claim. For example, you should always try to file some type of accident report. If you were injured in a car accident, call the police so they can come to the scene and document what happened. If you were injured in a slip and fall or another type of accident on someone else’s property, ask the property owner to file an accident report. There is a process for reporting work accidents so you can pursue workers’ compensation benefits.
Whenever accident victims are able, it is important to gather evidence at the scene ”“ pictures of your injuries, property damage, obstacles involved in the accident, information about possible at-fault parties (insurance information and contact information), witness statements, and anything else that may seem relevant. Memories can quickly fade, so victims can help their case by collecting evidence as soon as possible.
The information you collect can help your attorney determine if you may have a case.
What Steps Should I Take Following a Car Crash?
Your first priority should be getting medical care and ensuring the accident is properly reported to the police. If possible, gather basic information and preserve evidence, but avoid speculating about responsibility until you have legal guidance. Reach out to a car accident attorney as soon as you are able.
Can I Recover Compensation If I Share Responsibility for the Accident?
Yes. Arizona applies a pure comparative fault standard, which allows injured individuals to seek damages even if they were largely responsible for the crash. Any compensation awarded is adjusted according to your share of fault.
How Much Time Does It Take to Resolve a Personal Injury Case?
There is no fixed timeline, as each case depends on the scope of injuries, treatment needs, and legal complexity. Some claims conclude relatively quickly through settlement, while others take longer when formal litigation is necessary.
