    Nothing up front. Our fee comes out of the recovery, so no recovery means no fee (in writing before you sign).

  • Someone answers, 7 days a week

    Free consultations 6 AM to 8 PM, weekends included. Injuries don't keep business hours, and neither do insurers.

  • Five offices across Arizona

    Mesa, Phoenix, Glendale, Tucson, and Avondale. If travel is not realistic, we come to you instead.

  • Backed by My AZ Lawyers

    A service of My AZ Lawyers, PLLC, serving Arizona since 1999. Your attorneys are Alison Briggs and Brennan Murray.

  • Over 1,000 Google reviews

    More than a thousand client reviews averaging 4.6 stars, all of them public, so take Google's word over ours.

  • We know what serious injury claims require

    Future medical care, lost earning capacity, available insurance, medical liens, and long term family needs can determine the claim's real value.

How It Works

What Happens After You Call

No mystery and no paperwork to start. Here is the whole sequence, from the first phone call to the day your claim resolves.

  1. Call, and we answer

    Seven days a week, 6 AM to 8 PM, at (602) 715-0000. You do not need records, dates, or a theory of what happened. Tell it in whatever order it comes out. The call is free, it creates no obligation, and if you cannot leave the hospital we come to you.

  2. We come to you

    If you can travel, there are offices in Mesa, Phoenix, Glendale, Tucson, and Avondale; if you cannot, we meet in the hospital room, at the house, or over the phone. The attorneys on these cases are Alison Briggs (MSW, Esq.) and Brennan Murray (Esq.), and the fee agreement is in writing and read before anything is signed. We also work out who in the family has authority to act, so the case does not stall on paperwork.

  3. We preserve the evidence

    These cases turn on physical things that do not stay put: a vehicle before it is scrapped, a machine before it is repaired, video before it overwrites, a work site before it is cleaned up. We send preservation demands, arrange inspection while the evidence still exists, and reach witnesses while the day is fresh in their minds. None of that is yours to gather.

  4. We look for everyone responsible

    There is often more than one: a driver and the company behind the driver, a property owner, a manufacturer, a contractor, or a public entity, which carries its own one-year deadline and a separate 180-day notice of claim. Several liability means each defendant pays only its own share by percentage of fault, and because Arizona is pure comparative negligence, a share of blame on the injured person reduces a recovery by that percentage rather than barring it. We work to identify the policies in play, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which insurers must offer in writing.

  5. We document the full loss

    The costs in a catastrophic case can run for decades, not months, so they are built with the people who can document them: treating physicians, life care planners, and economists who put figures on future care, equipment, and lost earning capacity. In a death case that includes the estate's survival claim for what the person suffered before dying, alongside what the family itself lost. Your job is to be with your family; the file is ours.

  6. Resolution, and the liens

    When the picture is complete we present the demand and negotiate, and if the response does not match the proof, we file suit. Nothing is accepted unless you accept it. If there is a recovery, the liens are worked through before anything is disbursed: AHCCCS gets written notice within 20 days of filing suit, Medicare is a secondary payer whose conditional payments are repaid out of the settlement, and one-third of the recovery is protected from provider liens.

Catastrophic Injuries We Handle in Arizona

When an injury changes the rest of a life, the claim has to account for the rest of that life. These are the cases we take on.

  • A patient working with a clinician during rehabilitation

    Brain Injuries

    Traumatic brain injuries change work, memory, and personality, and much of that is invisible on an X-ray. Proving the loss takes medical documentation built over time rather than a single report.

  • A physical therapist working through an exercise with a man in a wheelchair

    Spinal Cord & Paralysis

    Injuries that change mobility permanently bring lifetime costs (care, equipment, home modification, and lost earning capacity) that a first offer rarely reflects.

  • A man adjusting his prosthetic leg while seated

    Burns & Amputation

    Injuries with long surgical roads and permanent visible consequences. Valuing them means accounting for procedures that have not happened yet.

  • Two people holding hands across a table

    Wrongful Death

    A claim brought by the surviving spouse, children, or parents, or by the personal representative on their behalf, as a single action for all the beneficiaries.

  • A patient on a stretcher being attended to in an ambulance

    Severe Multi-Injury

    Crashes and falls that break several things at once, where treatment runs for a year or more and the full extent is not knowable early.

  • However serious the injury, we can help you.

    (602) 715-0000

Common Concerns

The reasons people wait, and why most of them don't hold.

Almost everyone who calls us hesitated first. These are the six hesitations we hear most, answered straight.

  • We're drowning in medical bills. We can't add a lawyer to that.

    There is nothing to pay up front. The consultation is free and the representation is on contingency, so the fee comes out of a recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee, and you see the fee in writing before you sign anything. The bills stacking up are also not quite what they look like: a medical provider's lien attaches to the settlement or judgment, not to your personal assets. Being out of money is a reason to call now, not a reason to wait.

  • No insurance policy is going to be enough to cover an injury like this.

    Sometimes it isn't, and we would rather say that early than let a family find out at the end. Where a vehicle is involved, Arizona's minimum liability is 25/50/15, and a minimum is a floor rather than a ceiling, which is why the first policy someone hands you is rarely the whole picture. Where a business, a contractor, a property owner, or a manufacturer is involved instead, there is frequently more than one policy in the picture, and which of them has to answer depends on the facts. Insurers must offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in writing, and where more than one party is at fault, several liability means each pays only its own share by percentage. Most of the work in a case this size is finding every party and every policy that has to answer for it.

  • My husband can't make decisions right now, and I don't know if I'm allowed to act for him.

    Families step into this position every day, and there is a way to do it. Arizona pauses the filing deadline while an injured person is of unsound mind, so the law does not expect someone in that condition to protect his own claim. Who can act for him, and what that takes, depends on his situation and yours. The free call will tell you where you stand, and we can meet you at the hospital rather than asking you to leave him.

  • We're still in the hospital. It's too early to be calling a lawyer.

    Calling commits you to nothing, and the point of it is to take work off your day, not add to it. Meanwhile the other side has usually assigned an adjuster, and often an investigator, within days. Arizona generally allows two years from accrual to file, but if a public entity or a public employee is involved there is a 180-day notice-of-claim deadline and one year to file: a calendar that can run out while a family is still in the ICU. You do not have to go anywhere; we come to the hospital.

  • It feels wrong to be thinking about money right after burying her.

    Nothing a claim recovers is a measure of who she was, and no one here will speak about it as if it were. What the law can address is narrower and more practical: what the family has lost and now has to carry, and, through a separate survival action brought by the estate, the losses she herself suffered before she died. There is no rush on our end. When you are ready, the call is free and it obligates you to nothing.

  • I don't know which of us is even allowed to bring this.

    In Arizona a wrongful death claim is brought by the surviving spouse, the children, or the parents, or by the personal representative, and it goes forward as a single action for all of the beneficiaries. It goes forward that way rather than as separate suits by each family member. Which of those routes fits depends on who survived and whether an estate has been opened (a short conversation, not something you need to solve before you call).

The Details Can Decide Your Claim.Evidence Disappears Fast.

  1. A patient working through rehabilitation after a serious injury

    The policy limit runs out long before the costs do.

    The least an Arizona driver can legally carry is $25,000 for one person's injuries, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 in property damage. A single catastrophic hospitalization can exhaust that in days. Policies issued or renewed on or before June 30, 2020 may still sit at the older 15/30/10 limits.

    Use it by looking past the at-fault party's policy from day one. Arizona is an at-fault state with no PIP, but your own uninsured and underinsured coverage may apply. Insurers are required to offer UM and UIM in writing.

  2. A man on the phone checking his watch at a desk covered in paperwork

    Two years, usually, and the clock is already running.

    Arizona generally gives you two years from the date your injury claim accrues to file suit. Two deadlines cut that far shorter: a claim against a public entity or public employee must be filed within one year, and it carries a separate 180-day notice requirement on top of that.

    Use the two years by starting early, not by spending it. Evidence goes stale on its own schedule: records get archived, witnesses move, and footage is overwritten within weeks.

  3. A woman at her kitchen table working through a stack of bills with a calculator

    What the liens take before you see a dollar.

    A medical provider's lien attaches to your settlement, not to your personal assets, and one-third of your recovery is protected from provider liens by statute. AHCCCS holds its own lien with priority, and Medicare must be repaid for conditional payments out of any settlement.

    Use it by having someone work the liens before the money moves. What you actually keep is decided here, not in the headline settlement number, and several of these can be negotiated.

The sooner you call, the more of this is still working in your favor.

The Cost Of Waiting

Every Day You Wait Is A Day That Works Against Your Claim.

The Insurance Policy Will Not Cover This. What Now?

That is common in catastrophic cases. Arizona minimums are $25,000 for one person's injuries, which a single hospitalization can exhaust. Your own uninsured and underinsured coverage may add layers, and insurers are required to offer UM and UIM in writing.

My Family Member Cannot Make Decisions Right Now.

For ordinary injury claims the deadline is paused while the injured person is of unsound mind, and the full period starts once that ends. Government claims have their own separate rule, so call and we will check the dates.

Someone Died. Who Brings The Claim?

A wrongful death claim is brought by the surviving spouse, children, or parents, or by the personal representative on their behalf, as one action for all the beneficiaries.

How Are Lifetime Costs Accounted For?

By documenting them rather than estimating them. Care, equipment, home modification, and lost earning capacity have to be built into the claim before it resolves, because it does not reopen.

42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(2), (b)(3)(A), (b)(8); 42 C.F.R. Part 411

The minimum required auto liability coverage is 25/50/15: $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $50,000 per accident when two or more people are hurt, and $15,000 for property damage.
