Phoenix Personal Injury & Accidents - What You Need to Know

You pay zero upfront retainers, hourly rates, or out-of-pocket costs. We advance 100% of all litigation expenses and collect a legal fee only after securing a successful settlement or jury verdict.

Arizona operates under pure comparative fault (A.R.S. § 12-2505). When an at-fault driver lies to their insurer, adjusters attempt to assign partial fault to discount payouts. We obtain highway camera data, commercial dashcam video, and vehicle black box data to establish clear liability.

High-volume advertising firms frequently drop cases when an at-fault driver is uninsured or when an insurance carrier refuses to offer an early settlement. If your case was dropped, our trial team will audit your own policy for Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage and evaluate filing a lawsuit to force the insurer to pay.

Under Arizona law, you have the right to select your own repair facility. We handle property damage negotiations to ensure fair appraisals and rental vehicle coverage. If your car is undrivable, our team assists with Uber and Lyft rides so you never miss a medical or physical therapy appointment.

Online lead-sellers have zero physical footprint in Arizona and no familiarity with Maricopa County courts. They simply capture your info to auction it off. Karns & Karns handles your Phoenix case directly from our local offices, ensuring trial-grade execution by our own internal legal team.

Billboard lawyers are volume processors. They avoid filing lawsuits because litigation requires significant time and financial resources. Because the owners of Karns & Karns are trial attorneys, the insurance adjusters know that a lowball settlement offer will land them directly in front of an Arizona jury.

Phoenix freeways see severe high-speed, multi-vehicle collisions. We move instantly to secure automated highway department traffic data and commercial truck dashcams to isolate the exact speed and braking telemetry that triggered the pileup.

Arizona operates under a pure comparative fault system. If a distracted or reckless driver cuts you off and brakes violently for no valid reason, we gather electronic and physical evidence to prove their negligence caused the crash, shielding you from unfair blame.

Yes. Private commercial cameras often catch critical angles of intersection accidents. Our street investigators deploy directly to local businesses within hours of a crash to freeze and extract the footage before it is recorded over by internal servers.

Insurance adjusters weaponize time gaps. If you wait even a few days to see a doctor after a crash, or miss regular physical therapy sessions, the adjuster will legally argue that your pain is minor or stems from a totally separate event. Immediate, continuous treatment is mandatory.

If your accident involves a city vehicle, state employee, or public transit entity in Phoenix, you must file a formal “Notice of Claim” within a strict 180 days, or you lose your right to seek compensation forever. We manage these tight statutory deadlines seamlessly.

Arizona has significant numbers of uninsured motorists. We look directly at your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) policy to cover your medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We force your insurance carrier to honor the contract in full good faith.

We investigate every driver involved. If a commercial truck or distracted driver triggered the chain reaction, we hold them (and their company) primarily for your injuries.

It means we don’t settle for “pennies on the dollar.” If an insurance company won’t be fair, we take them to court. Our willingness to go to trial is your greatest leverage.

Hidden injuries like traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are common in high-speed Phoenix collisions. A medical report from the day of the accident is the only way to prove the crash caused the harm.

Yes. If the store failed to clean a spill or fix a hazard, they are liable. We act fast to subpoena their surveillance video before it’s overwritten by the store’s system.

Document the scene and call an attorney before speaking to any insurance company. Adjusters are trained to record you saying you feel “okay” before your real pain sets in.
