Should I Hire An Attorney Or Let The Insurance Company Handle My Car Accident Claims In Phoenix, AZ?

In 2023, according to Arizona Department of Transportiation, Arizona saw 122,247 car crashes, including 1,197 fatal accidents and more than 54,000 injuries—an average of 335 crashes every day. Phoenix accounted for 36,927 of those accidents (about 101 per day), with 298 fatalities and nearly 15,000 injury-related crashes.

Early 2024 data suggests a slight drop in fatalities, but Phoenix remains the most dangerous city in Arizona for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Injured in a Phoenix Crash? Here’s Why You Need a Lawyer

If you were hurt in a car accident, don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. Insurers often downplay injuries and lowball settlements—leaving victims without enough to cover medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery.

At Zanes Law Injury Lawyers, our Phoenix car accident lawyers know how to fight back. We’ll handle the insurance companies, build your case, and pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Contact us today for a free consultation—and don’t speak to the other driver’s insurer before talking to us. You focus on healing. We’ll take care of the rest.

Your Phoenix Car Accident Attorney Will Represent Your Best Interests

The insurance adjuster’s priority is always their company’s bottom-line. They may appear to be on your side and seem to want to help you recover the compensation you need to cover your damages, but you are not their priority. They may use tricks and tactics to get you to say things or submit evidence that could reduce the value of your case.

When you hire a lawyer to handle your claim and attempt to negotiate an out-of-court settlement, your best interests are their priority. If you enlist the help of a Phoenix car accident lawyer from Zanes Law, we work for you. We will pursue compensation on your behalf, fighting for the fair settlement value you deserve based on the facts of your case.

An Attorney Can Help You Pursue Compensation for Your Full Range of Accident-Related Damages

In many cases, accident victims who have an attorney representing them can recover more in damages than those who handle their own claims. This is because attorneys understand how to identify the full range of damages and put a fair settlement value on a case. The insurance company may ask about your medical bills and the replacement cost of your vehicle, but there will be few other things on their list.

However, accident victims incur many expenses and losses that are often overlooked. Our attorneys know what to ask about, as well as how to document other damages that are often underestimated or not included, such as:

• Future care needs
• Lost benefits from time missed at work
• Out-of-pocket expenses, such as parking at the hospital or doctor’s office
• Transportation expenses like a rental car or taking a rideshare
• Noneconomic damages, including pain and suffering

We will call experts who can help us understand the nature and severity of your injuries, your future medical care needs, and the pain and suffering you endured. We will calculate a fair settlement value for your full range of current and future losses and pursue compensation based on that value.

If you are considering whether you want to enlist the help of an attorney, it is important to remember that these consultations are free, and there is no obligation to sign up for our services afterward. It is important that you make a decision quickly, though.

Our attorneys may be able to help you:

• Protect your right to pursue compensation and hold the negligent party liable
• Build a compelling case to prove negligence and liability
• Minimize any accusations that you contributed to causing the accident
• Document your damages

• File a personal injury case and represent you in court

AZ § 12-542 generally gives us two years from the date of a car accident to decide to take the case to trial. If we have not already reached an out-of-court settlement agreement by the time this date approaches, we may need to consider taking legal action. We will lose negotiating power as soon as your right to file a lawsuit expires.
