Investigation
Preserving evidence before it disappears — footage, physical evidence, witness accounts, records. In Arizona this work has a short window; most of it happens in the first weeks.
Identifying every source of recovery
The responsible party's insurance is the starting point, not the whole picture. A household policy, an employer's policy, a property owner's coverage, or your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage — which Arizona insurers must offer — may all apply.
Documentation
Medical records, treatment history, wage loss, and the effect of the injury on daily life, organized so the file is complete. Gaps and missing records are what insurers point to later.
Insurer communication and negotiation
Communication runs through the firm. Offers are evaluated against what a complete claim looks like, and the client decides with a plain explanation of the trade-offs.
Preparing to go further
Most claims resolve without a filing. A firm that prepares each case as if it may need to go further is in a stronger position when it doesn't have to.
Deadlines the lawyer tracks
Two years for most Arizona injury claims. One hundred eighty days for a notice of claim against a government entity. The evidence window, measured in weeks.
