Are you struggling with injuries after a car accident in Phoenix?
Dealing with mounting medical bills while unable to work?
Feeling pressured by insurance adjusters to accept a quick settlement that doesn’t cover your expenses?
You’re not alone.
Every day, countless car accident victims across Phoenix are taken advantage of by insurance companies looking to minimize payouts and maximize profits.
Without proper legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that’s far less than what you deserve – sometimes receiving only a fraction of what an experienced attorney could secure for you.
The aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming.
While you’re focusing on recovery, insurance companies are working strategically to reduce their liability.
Many Phoenix car accident victims don’t realize that insurance companies routinely undervalue claims, hoping victims will accept quick settlements out of financial necessity.
The reality is stark: accident victims without legal representation typically receive settlements that are, on average, 350% lower than those with experienced attorneys who know how to maximize settlements (according to a study done by The Insurance Research Council).
The consequences of accepting an inadequate settlement can be devastating:
All as a result of a car accident you were not at fault for!
Most car accident victims operate under three critical misconceptions:
Underlying these misconceptions is often a lack of experience with serious injuries and the legal system. For most people, a car accident injury is their first major encounter with insurance claims, medical systems, and potential litigation. They simply don’t know what they don’t know.
This inexperience, combined with the physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial stress of an accident, creates a perfect storm where critical documentation and claim-building steps are missed during the exact period when they matter most.
This is where having an experienced guide who knows the process inside and out makes all the difference.
And that’s what we are here for.
The biggest reason people in Phoenix don’t receive the payout they deserve for car accident injuries is poor documentation and subpar legal representation.
This critical failure happens in several key ways:
Many accident victims wait too long to seek medical care, creating a “gap in treatment” that insurance companies exploit to argue injuries weren’t caused by the accident or weren’t serious.
Missing appointments or having gaps in medical care gives insurance adjusters ammunition to claim injuries have resolved or weren’t significant.
Failing to report all symptoms to medical providers means those issues never appear in medical records, making them essentially “non-existent” for compensation purposes.
Not tracking how injuries affect daily activities, work capabilities, and quality of life leaves these significant damages unsubstantiated and uncompensated.
Insurance companies typically start with settlements far below what your case is actually worth, hoping you’ll accept out of necessity or exhaustion.
Without understanding the true value of your claim and the tactics insurers use, you’re at a severe disadvantage in settlement discussions.
At Farar & Lewis LLP, our Phoenix car accident attorneys have over 40 years of combined experience and have won over $250 million in verdicts and settlements for our clients.
The large majority of this is money that our clients would have not received had we not effectively argued their case. They would have been left with poor compensation and likely would have had to cover their own medical bills and costs out of their own pocket as a result.

They took care of two accidents for me and although the accidents were unfortunate I was still fortunate to have met them! They turned a bad accident into something positive for me! Definitely choose Lewis and Farrar over anyone else! Andrea Burman2020-09-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Farar & Lewis LLP for two back to back accidents and they were by far the best firm I've ever worked with. I fired my first attorney who literally couldn't even return my calls or give me any information. I hired Adam Lewis on the spot to help settle my case. He was kind, compassionate and most importantly professional. He got the job done in record speed and recovered all my losses. I couldn't have asked for a better team and experience. If you are in accident and need help look no further then these guys. They are simply the best. Thank you again for all you did for me!

I was referred to my attorney Adam by a close family friend who had been in a similar accident as me. I was rear ended in bumper to bumper stop and go LA traffic and slammed into the car in front of me. My insurance company was terrible and the person that hit me was uninsured .Calling Adam may have been the best thing I could have done. He was very professional, knowledgeable, resourceful. Overall good guy that really helped me through my claim. If you get in a wreck, I’d recommend giving Adam a call for a consultation.
The value of your claim depends on several factors including the severity of your injuries, total medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
In our experience, settlements can range from several thousand dollars for minor injuries to millions for catastrophic injuries or wrongful death cases. This is something we will evaluate during the free initial consultation.
Arizona has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
However, certain circumstances may shorten this timeframe, such as claims against government entities, which require notice within 180 days. This is why it’s critical to move as quickly as possible.
Arizona follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated unless you are found to be more than 50% responsible.
Our attorneys work to minimize any assignment of fault to maximize your recovery.
While some straightforward cases settle within months, more complex cases involving serious injuries may take 1-2 years to resolve, especially if litigation is necessary.
We work efficiently while never rushing to accept inadequate settlements.
Most car accident claims settle without going to trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court.
This thorough preparation often results in better settlement offers from insurance companies who want to avoid facing us in court.
In any case, if a trial does result, we will be there with you to guide you the entire time.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages against particularly reckless drivers.
It’s best to avoid giving recorded statements or signing documents from an insurance company before consulting with an attorney.
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and statements you make can be used against you later.
We highly advise speaking to us first before making any statements to insurance companies.
If you’re hit by an uninsured driver, you may be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage.
We also investigate whether other parties may share liability or whether the driver has personal assets that could satisfy a judgment.
You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
Early intervention allows us to preserve critical evidence, ensure proper documentation of injuries, and prevent costly mistakes in dealings with insurance companies.
Don’t become another victim taken advantage of by insurance companies.
Our attorneys are ready to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve so you can get the treatment you need for your injuries and move on with life.
Contact us today for a risk-free consultation.
Remember, there’s no fee unless we win your case.
Our experienced car accident attorneys will review your case, explain your options, and outline our strategy to secure the compensation you need to fully recover from your injuries.
Let us handle the legal complexities while you focus on healing.
