Legal guidance for the next step.
A car crash can leave drivers and passengers with difficult questions about recovery and the legal process. Wood Injury Law represents people in Arizona car-accident injury cases.
A free consultation is an opportunity to explain what happened, ask questions and discuss whether legal representation is appropriate. Case outcomes depend on the facts; no settlement amount or result is guaranteed.
What insurance won’t tell you
Questions about statements, documents and deadlines can arise during a claim. Discuss the circumstances with an attorney before deciding how to proceed.
The recorded statement
Requests for recorded statements can raise legal and contractual questions. Ask an attorney about the request and any obligations that may apply.
The “are you okay?” gambit
You answer “I’m okay” out of politeness. That phrase appears in your settlement file forever.
The blanket medical authorization
Signed without an attorney narrowing scope, you give insurance access to your entire pre-accident medical history.
The fast lowball offer
A few thousand dollars to “wrap this up” before your MRI. Once you sign, the case closes forever.
Social media surveillance
A photo of you smiling at a birthday is used to argue you’re exaggerating. Lock down accounts the day of the wreck.
The clock
2-year statute of limitations under A.R.S. § 12-542. Government cases require 180-day notice.
What to do in the first 72 hours
Get medical attention.
Adrenaline masks injuries. Concussions, internal bleeding, and ligament damage are routinely missed at the scene. ER documentation creates the medical record your case will rely on.
Document the scene.
Photos of the vehicle, the road, and your injuries. Witness names and phone numbers. Insurance won’t preserve any of this for you.
Ask about statement requests.
Before responding to a statement request, ask an attorney about the circumstances and any relevant policy obligations. There is no single response that fits every claim.

Questions clients ask on the first call
How much does it cost to hire Wood Injury Law?
Nothing upfront. Contingency fee, paid a percentage of recovery. If we don’t recover, you owe nothing in attorney fees.
How long do I have to file in Arizona?
Two years from the date of the wreck under A.R.S. § 12-542. Government cases require 180-day notice under A.R.S. § 12-821.01.
What if I’m partly at fault?
Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state under A.R.S. § 12-2505. You can still recover, reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if the at-fault party had no insurance?
Your own UM/UIM coverage under A.R.S. § 20-259.01 may pay your damages even when the at-fault driver carries no insurance.
What if I had a prior injury?
Arizona follows the eggshell plaintiff doctrine. A wreck that aggravated an existing condition still caused your current injury and is compensable.
How quickly should I call?
Today if you can. Earlier involvement means evidence preservation, no recorded-statement traps, and a clear strategy from day one.

Arizona car accident help by location and case type
Not every Arizona car accident claim needs the same evidence. A Mesa intersection crash, a Phoenix motorcycle crash, a drunk-driving crash, and a hit-and-run each raise different insurance and proof issues.
Use this as a practical route into the most relevant resource rather than a shortcut around getting case-specific advice. The useful question is not just where the crash happened. It is what evidence exists, whether coverage is enough, whether medical care is documented, and whether any deadline or public-entity issue changes the timeline.
