Phoenix Car Accident Injury Attorneys

Don't Become Another Car Accident Victim Taken Advantage of by Insurance Companies. We Will Get You the Maximum Compensation You Are Fully Entitled To.

As Seen On

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 Real Cost of Going It Alone After a Phoenix Car Accident

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:

  • Unpaid medical bills that damage your credit
  • Inability to afford necessary ongoing treatment which can lead to life-long health problems
  • Lost wages and career opportunities
  • Financial strain that can last for years
  • Permanent injuries without proper compensation for lifetime care

All as a result of a car accident you were not at fault for!

Top 3 Critical Misconceptions That Result In Severely Reduced Payouts

Most car accident victims operate under three critical misconceptions:

  1. The “honest person” fallacy: They believe that simply telling the truth about their injuries and suffering will be enough. They don’t realize the system requires formal documentation and evidence at every step, not just honest testimony.
  2. The “immediate settlement” mindset: Financial pressure after an accident creates urgency to resolve claims quickly. People don’t understand that early settlements almost always occur before the full extent of injuries and long-term impacts are known.
  3. The “insurance will take care of me” belief: Many accident victims trust that insurance companies are fundamentally fair and will provide reasonable compensation. They don’t recognize that insurers’ financial interests directly oppose maximizing payouts.

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.

 

Why Do Most Phoenix Car Accident Victims Not Receive the Compensation They Deserve?

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:

Delayed Medical Attention

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.

Inconsistent Treatment Follow-Through

Missing appointments or having gaps in medical care gives insurance adjusters ammunition to claim injuries have resolved or weren’t significant.

Poor Symptom Reporting

Failing to report all symptoms to medical providers means those issues never appear in medical records, making them essentially “non-existent” for compensation purposes.

Incomplete Impact Documentation

Not tracking how injuries affect daily activities, work capabilities, and quality of life leaves these significant damages unsubstantiated and uncompensated.

Accepting First Offers

Insurance companies typically start with settlements far below what your case is actually worth, hoping you’ll accept out of necessity or exhaustion.

Inadequate Negotiation Skills

Without understanding the true value of your claim and the tactics insurers use, you’re at a severe disadvantage in settlement discussions.

Get Personal Attention From Actual Attorneys – Not Case Managers

At Farar & Lewis LLP, we reject the “settlement mill” approach that has become all too common among Phoenix car accident attorneys who are quick to settle and leave their clients with less than they should have received.

We believe effective representation requires genuine personal attention from experienced attorneys who understand the nuances of your specific situation.

While many high-volume firms assign clients to paralegals or case managers, our attorneys work directly with you from initial consultation through final resolution.

We deliberately limit our caseload to ensure each client receives the dedicated attention their case deserves.

This strategic approach allows us to develop stronger cases, identify unique compensation opportunities, and build the personalized legal strategies that consistently deliver superior results.

When you call our office, you’ll speak directly with your attorney who knows the details of your case – not a junior associate or intake specialist reading from a script.

Each client receives direct contact information, including personal cell phone numbers, to reach their attorney whenever questions or concerns arise.

There’s never a clock running or additional billing for these communications – we believe open communication is fundamental to effective representation.

Our clients consistently tell us the difference is clear from their first interaction – we’re responsive, engaged, and genuinely invested in your recovery, both physical and financial.

We’ve built our reputation not through billboards or TV commercials, but through personalized service that generates word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients.

Our measure of success isn’t just the size of your settlement, but whether you feel confident recommending us to friends and family who find themselves in similar unfortunate circumstances.

This client-first philosophy has helped us maintain a 5-star reputation while securing over $250 million in verdicts and settlements for the people we represent.

Testimonials From Our Clients

Serving All Accident Victims In Phoenix & Arizona

FAQs About Car Accident Claims in Phoenix

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.
