Arizona’s Fault Law and What It Means for Your Claim
Arizona follows pure comparative fault under ARS 12-2505. That means even if you were partly at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000. There is no cutoff that bars your claim.
Insurance companies use this law against you. Their adjusters are trained to find any evidence that you contributed to the crash, then use that to argue your percentage of fault should be higher than it actually was. A low-ball settlement offer is often built on an inflated fault percentage assigned to you.
Josh Wood’s background in insurance defense means he knows exactly how that argument gets constructed, and he knows how to dismantle it with police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction evidence specific to the Chandler corridors where these crashes happen.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Chandler
- Call 911 and get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline masks pain. Documented injuries are critical to your claim.
- Photograph everything at the scene: vehicle positions, road markings, traffic signs, skid marks, and your injuries.
- Get names and contact information from any witnesses before they leave.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without speaking to a lawyer first. Anything you say can and will be used to reduce what they pay you.
- Call Wood Injury Law for a free case review before the insurance company sets the narrative.
Chandler Car Accident FAQ
How long do I have to file a claim in Arizona?
Arizona gives you two years from the date of the accident under ARS 12-542. Miss that deadline and your claim is barred. Two years sounds like a long time, but evidence gets harder to gather as time passes.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
Arizona law allows you to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover your damages, your UM/UIM coverage can step in. Wood Injury Law handles UM claims and knows how to maximize what you recover from your own policy.
How much is my case worth?
Case value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment costs, and the degree of fault assigned to each party. The first number the insurance company gives you is almost never the right number. Having an attorney who knows their playbook changes that number.
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident in Chandler?
You don’t have to hire one. But insurance companies have entire legal teams working to minimize what they pay out on every claim. A free consult with Wood Injury Law costs you nothing. If we don’t think you need us, we’ll tell you straight.
