Law Badgers represents people injured in car accidents throughout Arizona. This statewide service guide explains the collision types we handle, the evidence that can matter, Arizona’s comparative-fault system, and common insurance issues.
If your collision happened in the city, visit our Phoenix car accident lawyer and local crash-resource hub for Phoenix roads, evidence guides, and location-specific help.
Car Accident Scenarios We Handle
The type of collision is a starting point, not an automatic answer about fault. We handle:
- rear-end collisions, including disputed stopping, braking, and chain-reaction accounts;
- left-turn and intersection crashes, including T-bone impacts and signal disputes;
- merge and lane-change collisions, including sideswipes and blind-spot disputes;
- parking-lot crashes, including backing and travel-lane conflicts;
- multi-vehicle pileups, where the sequence and each driver’s role must be evaluated;
- pedestrian and crosswalk collisions;
- hit-and-run accidents, wrong-way crashes, rollovers, and head-on collisions; and
- crashes involving commercial vehicles, impaired drivers, uninsured drivers, or defective roadway conditions.
Use our free car accident diagram maker to record the lanes, vehicle paths, point of impact, and final positions in a private Before, Impact, and After sequence.

Call (833) DTF-IGHTEvidence That Can Explain What Happened
Useful evidence depends on the crash, but it often includes:
- original scene photographs, video, and dashcam files;
- vehicle damage, event data, repair records, and final resting positions;
- witness names and contact information;
- roadway design, signs, signals, lighting, weather, and construction conditions;
- police reports, dispatch records, and available camera footage; and
- medical, wage, rental, repair, and insurance records documenting the consequences.
A police conclusion or traffic citation may be relevant, but it does not automatically decide a civil claim. Evidence should be evaluated together.
What Your Case Is Worth
There is no responsible way to value a claim from a collision type or online calculator alone. Depending on the evidence and Arizona law, a claim may involve medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, vehicle damage, diminished value, and other documented losses. Coverage, fault, causation, treatment, prognosis, liens, and available insurance can all affect the analysis.
How Arizona Comparative Fault Works
Arizona generally uses a pure comparative-fault system under A.R.S. § 12-2505. A claimant’s damages may be reduced in proportion to the claimant’s assigned share of fault. In a case involving several drivers or entities, fault may also need to be allocated among multiple parties. See our guide to comparative fault in Arizona.
Insurance Issues After an Arizona Crash
A car accident claim may involve the other driver’s liability coverage, your own uninsured- or underinsured-motorist coverage, medical-payments coverage, collision coverage, rental or loss-of-use issues, and health-insurance reimbursement claims. Start with our Arizona claim-filing guide and property-damage guide.
Our Results
Our attorneys have recovered significant results for motor-vehicle clients, including $500,000 for a pedestrian collision and $150,000 for a motor-vehicle accident. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome; every matter depends on its own facts, law, injuries, insurance, and evidence.
Deadlines Depend on the Claim
Many Arizona injury claims are subject to a two-year limitations period, but shorter notice and filing deadlines can apply, and the correct date can depend on the parties and facts. Claims involving a public entity can have especially short requirements. Do not use a general deadline as a substitute for advice about your case. Read our Arizona injury-deadline guide.
