Arizona Car Accident Lawyer Fighting for Injury Victims Statewide
A serious car accident can leave you injured, unable to work, facing mounting medical bills, and unsure of what to do next. While you are trying to recover, the insurance company may already be looking for ways to reduce, delay, or deny your claim.
You do not have to fight that battle alone.

Our goal is straightforward: protect your rights, take the pressure off you, and build the strongest claim the available evidence supports.

Injured in an Arizona Car Accident?
Insurance companies do not make money by voluntarily paying the maximum value of every injury claim. Adjusters may question your injuries, blame you for the collision, pressure you to give a recorded statement, or offer a quick settlement before you understand the long-term impact of the accident.
Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you generally cannot return later for additional compensation—even if your injuries become more serious.
An Arizona car accident lawyer can step between you and the insurance company, protect you from unfair tactics, and pursue a result that accounts for the full effect of the crash on your health, finances, employment, and future.
The Maerowitz Law Firm can help by:
- Investigating how the collision occurred
- Obtaining police reports, photographs, videos, and witness statements
- Preserving electronic and physical evidence
- Reviewing available insurance coverage
- Communicating with insurance adjusters
- Documenting medical treatment and future care needs
- Calculating lost income and other financial damages
- Identifying every potentially responsible party
- Negotiating for a fair settlement
- Filing a lawsuit and taking the case to court when necessary
Every accident is different. We develop a legal strategy based on the evidence, the applicable insurance policies, the seriousness of the injuries, and the needs of the individual client.
Do Not Let the Insurance Company Control Your Claim
The other driver’s insurance company is not on your side. Its adjusters, investigators, and attorneys work to protect the company’s financial interests.
Common insurance company tactics include:
- Requesting a recorded statement that may later be used against you
- Arguing that your injuries existed before the collision
- Claiming that medical treatment was unnecessary or excessive
- Blaming you for part or all of the accident
- Delaying the claim until financial pressure forces you to settle
- Offering compensation before the full extent of your injuries is known
- Ignoring future medical treatment, reduced earning capacity, or long-term pain
You should not have to accept an inadequate offer simply because the insurance company has more experience and resources.
The Maerowitz Law Firm prepares every claim with the expectation that the evidence must withstand aggressive scrutiny. We identify weaknesses before the insurer can exploit them and fight for compensation supported by the facts of the case.
Compensation Available After an Arizona Car Accident
A person injured because of another party’s negligence may be entitled to compensation for economic and noneconomic losses. Depending on the circumstances, a car accident claim may include compensation for:
- Emergency transportation and hospital care
- Doctor appointments and specialist treatment
- Surgery, rehabilitation, and physical therapy
- Prescription medications and medical equipment
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Vehicle damage and other property losses
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability or permanent impairment
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral expenses and wrongful-death damages
The value of a claim depends on many factors, including the severity and permanence of the injuries, available insurance coverage, the effect on the victim’s employment and daily life, and the strength of the evidence establishing fault.
No attorney can honestly guarantee a particular settlement or verdict. We can promise that your case will be evaluated carefully, prepared strategically, and pursued with determination.
Car Accident Cases We Handle
The Maerowitz Law Firm represents clients in a broad range of Arizona motor vehicle accident claims, including:
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents can cause serious neck, back, head, and spinal injuries, even when vehicle damage appears relatively minor.
Intersection Accidents
Failure to yield, running red lights, unsafe turns, and distracted driving frequently result in dangerous side-impact and head-on collisions.
Distracted-Driving Accidents
Drivers who text, use mobile devices, adjust navigation systems, eat, or otherwise take their attention away from the road can be held responsible for the injuries they cause.
Drunk-Driving Accidents
An impaired driver may face criminal charges in addition to civil liability for injuries, financial losses, and wrongful death.
Speeding and Reckless-Driving Accidents
Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the force of impact, often producing catastrophic injuries.
Rideshare Accidents
Crashes involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare vehicles may involve several insurance policies and complicated coverage questions.
Commercial-Vehicle Accidents
When an employee causes a crash while performing job duties, the driver’s employer or another business may also be responsible.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
When the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, compensation may be available through the injured person’s own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
We can help examine available evidence, insurance coverage, witness accounts, traffic cameras, and other potential sources of recovery.
Fatal Car Accidents
When a collision takes a life, eligible surviving family members may be able to pursue a wrongful-death claim against the responsible parties.
Common Car Accident Injuries
A motor vehicle collision can cause injuries that affect nearly every part of the body. Some conditions are immediately apparent, while others become noticeable hours or days later.
Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Neck and back injuries
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Nerve damage
- Burns and lacerations
- Facial and dental injuries
- Psychological trauma
- Permanent disability
- Fatal injuries
Seek appropriate medical care after an accident, even when you initially believe your injuries are minor. Prompt treatment protects your health and creates documentation connecting the injuries to the collision.
What to Do After an Arizona Car Accident
The actions taken immediately after a collision can affect both your health and your ability to bring an injury claim.
When it is safe and possible:
- Call 911 and report the accident.
- Request medical assistance for anyone who may be injured.
- Exchange identification and insurance information.
- Photograph the vehicles, roadway, traffic controls, debris, and visible injuries.
- Obtain contact information from witnesses.
- Avoid admitting fault or speculating about what happened.
- Seek medical evaluation promptly.
- Follow your doctors’ treatment recommendations.
- Preserve damaged property, photographs, medical records, and receipts.
- Speak with an Arizona car accident attorney before accepting a settlement or giving a detailed recorded statement.
Do not post photographs, accident details, medical updates, or comments about your activities on social media. Insurance companies may review public posts and attempt to use them to challenge your injuries.
What If I Was Partly at Fault?
Do not assume that you have no claim simply because you believe you may have contributed to the collision.
Under Arizona’s comparative-fault rules, an injured person may still be able to recover compensation when partially responsible for an accident. The amount recovered may be reduced according to the person’s percentage of fault.
Insurance companies may use this rule to place more blame on an injured person than the evidence supports. Our firm investigates the accident independently and challenges unsupported attempts to shift responsibility.
How Long Do I Have to File an Arizona Car Accident Claim?
Arizona generally provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, important exceptions can shorten or change the applicable deadline.
For example, a claim involving a state agency, city, county, public employee, public school, or another government entity may require a formal notice of claim within 180 days. Additional deadlines and procedural requirements may also apply.
Waiting can result in lost evidence, unavailable witnesses, and the permanent loss of your legal rights. Contact an attorney as early as possible so the applicable deadlines can be evaluated.
Why Choose The Maerowitz Law Firm?
Aggressive Representation
We do not allow an insurance company’s initial position to determine the value of a claim. We examine the evidence, identify available sources of compensation, and push back against attempts to minimize legitimate injuries.
Strategic Case Preparation
Strong results begin with strong preparation. We focus on liability evidence, medical documentation, insurance coverage, damages, and the arguments the opposing side is likely to make.
Personal Attention
You deserve to be treated as a person—not as a claim number. The Maerowitz Law Firm is a local Arizona firm committed to direct communication, individualized attention, and practical legal guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
You may be required to provide basic information, but you should be cautious about giving a recorded statement, signing medical authorizations, or discussing the severity of your injuries without legal advice. Statements can be taken out of context and used to reduce the value of a claim.
What if the insurance company already offered me money?
Do not assume the first offer represents the full value of your case. Early offers may not account for future treatment, lost earning capacity, permanent injuries, or the complete effect of the accident. Accepting an offer normally requires signing a release that ends the claim.
What if I did not feel injured immediately?
Some injuries produce delayed symptoms. Seek medical care if you develop pain, dizziness, headaches, stiffness, numbness, confusion, or other symptoms after a crash. Tell the medical provider when and how the accident occurred.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
You may have options through uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage, medical-payments coverage, or another responsible party. Available recovery depends on the policies and facts involved.
How much is my car accident case worth?
There is no reliable formula that applies to every case. Value depends on liability, medical evidence, injury severity, recovery time, future limitations, lost income, insurance coverage, and other case-specific considerations.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury claims resolve without a trial, but settlement is not always possible. A lawsuit may be necessary when the insurer disputes fault, challenges the injuries, or refuses to offer reasonable compensation.
How much does a consultation cost?
The Maerowitz Law Firm offers free, confidential initial consultations for potential personal injury clients.
