Types of Personal Injury Cases
Our Firm Handles
If you have been injured in Phoenix, AZ, engage our legal services for renowned representation in your personal injury lawsuit. We represent the following types of personal injury cases in these practice areas:
Practice areas
Representing Clients In:
01 Car Accidents
The majority of personal injury cases in Phoenix, AZ, involve a car accident. Car accident victims often have serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. Since Arizona follows an at-fault insurance model, the driver who caused the car accident will be held liable for your damages.
It may seem simple enough to file your injury claim and move forward on your own through the claims process. However, Arizona also uses pure comparative negligence when it comes to fault in accidents. This means that you could be partially blamed for your own injuries. It’s a common tactic used by every insurance company to reduce your personal injury compensation.
Pure comparative negligence allows you to collect compensation even if you are 99% at fault, though this will severely limit the settlement you receive. Our personal injury attorneys will fight for your personal injury compensation to prevent you from losing out on a fair settlement.
02 Truck Accident Cases
In truck accidents, most victims are left with severe injuries due to the massive size and weight of semi-trucks. A commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and when it collides with other vehicles, the results are devastating.
Some trucks carry hazardous materials which can ignite upon impact, causing burn injuries and other painful, life-altering injuries. Truck drivers have a duty to follow the rules of the road and obey state and federal mandates. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has regulations that dictate the hours of service, inspections, and training, among many other things. Truckers and trucking companies must adhere to them, and if they violate these terms, they can be held liable in a truck crash.
If you or a loved one were injured in a truck accident, your personal injury lawsuit will be incredibly complex. It takes the deep knowledge of trucking laws that our personal injury lawyers fully understand to help you with holding every liable party responsible for your injury claim.
03 Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries are likely in any motor vehicle accident, though victims in motorcycle accidents have more to worry about than their wounds. Each insurance company views motorcyclists as blame-worthy because motorcycles are a riskier mode of transport.
Work with a personal injury lawyer from Wyatt Injury Law Personal Injury Lawyers to have someone that advocates for your right to ride a motorcycle without being run down by careless motorists. While you are more exposed to the elements and the road, it doesn’t mean that you deserved to get hurt. We will advocate for your personal injury compensation and seek the full amount to serve justice.
04 Dog Bites
In Arizona, you can file an injury claim for a dog bite under strict liability laws. Some states provide a “one bite” rule, but here, animal owners can be held liable when their dog attacks or bites someone. There is no need to prove the animal was dangerous or for it to have bitten anyone before. Our personal injury lawyers will help you recover compensation for injuries sustained in unprovoked dog attacks.
05 Wrongful Death
Sometimes, victims do not survive their personal injuries. When you lose a loved one because of another person’s careless or negligent behavior, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. While nothing can bring them back or fill the void left behind, our compassionate Phoenix personal injury lawyers will pursue compensation in your wrongful death claim for funeral and burial costs along with other losses to ease your burden.
For any type of personal injury case, work with a Phoenix injury attorney at Wyatt Injury Law Personal Injury Lawyers to get the fair treatment you deserve. Our team will work diligently on your legal claim. If you are in the Phoenix area, schedule a free initial consultation with our legal team to learn more about our practice areas.
Seek Compensation for Your Damages
When your medical expenses are piling up, it can add tremendous stress to an already upsetting time in your life. You may wonder how much you can recover for your injuries, though this will require evaluating the specific factors in your case.
Our legal team will review the type and severity of your injuries to determine if you will require on-going medical care that will result in additional medical expenses. Often, those who suffer permanent impacts from their injuries will receive more in compensation to mitigate these expenses.
Read More
We will also review investigations and evidence to determine if you share any fault in the accident. By staying ahead of the other party and knowing the limitations of their insurance policy, we can fight for what is fair in your case.
Most victims in personal injuries can recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are easier to prove and can be tallied to the exact dollar amount from bills and receipts. Common economic damages in these cases may include:
- Medical bills such as hospital stays, surgeries, prescriptions, and physical therapy
- Lost wages, along with future loss of income and job benefits
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries, such as making home modifications to accommodate your mobility or hiring help for around the house
Non-economic damages are much more difficult to show when you try to pursue your claim for your injuries on your own. Our attorneys can help you get the compensation you deserve for the other impacts this accident has made on your life. These may include:
- Permanent disabilities
- Disfigurement
- Emotional trauma
- Scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Everything you have gone through has likely turned your entire world upside down. Our Phoenix personal injury attorneys know the toll that the physical pain and emotional distress have taken on you and are prepared to fight for your financial relief. Set up a free consultation with our team today to get started on your case.
How Our Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Can Help with
Your Personal Injury Case
You may be wondering how our personal injury lawyer helps accident victims. There certainly is no law that requires you to have legal counsel, though it does improve your chances for recovering the full amount of monetary compensation that you deserve.
We represent our injured clients with full integrity in the pursuit of seeing justice served to all at-fault parties in your personal injury lawsuit.

However, one of the biggest mistakes that an injured party can make is not realizing the full potential of impacts from their injuries. You may be thrilled when the insurance company offers a quick settlement. Unfortunately, they’re hoping you’ll accept it and sign away your rights to file a personal injury lawsuit.
If you accept the settlement without considering all of your damages, you may soon find that this amount isn’t enough to pay for your property damage, all of your medical bills, cover your lost wages or future income, or provide for your future medical treatment for your injuries. It certainly won’t take into account the level of your emotional suffering this injury caused either.
Our law firm will always represent your best interests in your case. We do this by:
- Holding the negligent party responsible for your damages and refusing to let insurance companies use their tactics to lower your settlement
- Using our resources to bring in experts who can help add credibility to your claim
- Protect you from being blamed for your personal injury by the liable parties who want to minimize their culpability
- Take over the legal process to allow you to focus on healing from your injuries and reduce your stress

We Use Evidence to Prove Negligence
To prove negligence, our attorneys will investigate and obtain all relevant evidence in your case. Your medical records from all the treatments you’ve received will be one of the most important pieces of evidence. It will show the extent and severity of your injuries and provide a glimpse into your future medical needs caused by this accident.
Additionally, a police report or an accident report with a property manager can establish that this event occurred. In a car wreck, if any citations are issued to the other driver, these can also be used as evidence that shows they were not following traffic laws.
Photos, videos, surveillance camera footage, dash cam footage, witness testimony, and expert witness testimony are other crucial pieces of evidence that can help bring the bigger picture into focus. Each of these items are vital for helping us to establish negligence in your case and prove that the defendant is liable for the damages they have caused.

Tips from Our Attorneys:
What To Do After An Accident:
The emotional trauma you are likely to experience in the immediate aftermath of these tragic events may make it hard for you to know what to do. If you are in any kind of accident, it is always best to remember the steps you need to take to protect your legal rights in the event that you need to file an injury claim. Our attorneys strongly recommend that you take these steps in the moments that follow your accident.
01 Report the Accident
If you are in any kind of motor vehicle crash, you will want to call 911 to report it. The police will arrive and fill out an accident report after conducting an investigation. They will gather evidence in photos and speak with all involved parties and witnesses. For personal injuries that take place in other settings, you should report it to the property owner or business.
02 Exchange Information
On the scene of an auto wreck, you are required to exchange contact information and insurance information with the other driver. This will be necessary for your injury claim. In other personal injuries, you should make sure you have a valid contact for the property or business, and that you have a copy of the accident report in your hand before you leave.
03 Get Immediate Medical Care
Some of our clients are taken from the scene of a personal injury accident via ambulance. They wake up in the hospital after stabilizing from their treatments. However, many other victims may be seriously injured yet will skip medical care. It is imperative that you are checked for any hidden injuries.
Car crashes, falls, and other impactful events can cause internal bleeding, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. These types of injuries are the most dangerous of all because they may not have any outward symptoms for hours or days after this incident. Going to the hospital, urgent care center, or your own doctor as soon as possible ensures that these injuries are found and treated before it’s too late. It also gives you dated medical records that prove your injuries occurred on the date of the accident.
04 Get the Evidence
While your medical treatment is the most important thing to take care of after being injured, the evidence at the scene of the accident won’t be there forever. If it is possible, you should get photos and videos before these elements are gone.
In the event that you were rushed to the emergency room, our attorneys will launch an immediate investigation and seek out all evidence to use in your case. After sustaining injuries in an accident, do not hesitate to reach out to our team for help. We are focused on victims in these traumatic events and work tirelessly to help you move forward.
Understanding Why the Arizona Statute of Limitations Matters
In order to ensure fairness in the pursuit of personal injury settlements, the state of Arizona has a statute of limitations that caps the time allowed to file a lawsuit. It should be noted that this time limit is different from the time limits the insurers have for filing a claim.
When you have filed a claim for your injury with the liable party’s insurer, they may offer too low of a settlement. They may even deny your claim completely, making your next step going ahead with a lawsuit. Arizona provides a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of your injury, or the date of death when someone dies as a result of their injuries.
Certain exceptions are made for minors, allowing them to have a full 2 years to pursue a lawsuit after they turn 18. However, if your claim involves a government entity, your time limit will be shorter. Many people miss these deadlines and are then barred from legal recourse. This is why hiring an experienced personal injury attorney is to your benefit, to ensure your paperwork will be filed and that every step is taken according to the law.

FAQs
01 How much is my car accident claim worth?
The value of your car accident claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the circumstances of the crash, and other losses you may have suffered. You may be able to collect compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more. Working with our Phoenix car accident lawyer gives you the best chance of securing a fair settlement. Our personal injury attorney will calculate the full value of your car accident claim and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. If mediation is unsuccessful, our lawyer will take your case to court.
02 Who is at fault in most motorcycle accidents?
When determining who is at fault for a motorcycle accident, our personal injury attorney looks at evidence like accident scene photos, traffic cam footage, police reports, and eyewitness statements. In many situations, the driver of the vehicle is at fault because they were speeding, disobeyed traffic laws, or drove recklessly. However, if the motorcyclist was lane-splitting or speeding, they may be liable. Unfortunately, many insurance companies have a bias against motorcycle riders. These pre-conceived judgments are based on stereotypes and often lead to low settlement offers and claim denials. Our motorcycle accident lawyer fights to overcome biases to secure maximum compensation for motorcycle injury victims.
03 Can I sue if someone else's dog bites me?
Yes, you can sue if someone else’s dog bites you. These claims are usually processed through the dog owner’s home insurance policy. Many victims are hesitant to pursue compensation after an animal attack, especially if the dog belongs to a friend, family member, or neighbor. It is important to remember you are filing against their insurance, not them personally. The potential for dog bites is why homeowners include their pets on their insurance policy, so you should never feel uncomfortable about wanting to recover damages for medical bills after a dog attack. Liability in dog bite cases is generally straightforward, with blame almost always falling on the canine’s owner. However, if you were trespassing or antagonizing the animal, you may share a portion of the liability. By consulting with our dog bite lawyer, you will learn what your options are and the best way to proceed with your personal injury claim.
04 What qualifies as a wrongful death lawsuit?
A death qualifies for a wrongful death lawsuit if the at-fault party owed the deceased a duty of care, that duty was breached, and the breach caused their passing, resulting in damages. Common examples of wrongful death cases include vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, violence, and workplace accidents. Immediate family members of the deceased may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover financial and emotional damages they suffered because of the tragic loss of their loved one. Wrongful death lawsuits can deliver justice for the victim and their family, especially if criminal charges are unable to be filed. Our Phoenix wrongful death lawyer will guide you through the legal process with compassion and empathy, inform you of your rights, and advocate for maximum financial recovery under the law.
05 Who is responsible if a car hits a pedestrian?
The driver is usually responsible when a car hits a pedestrian. Every motorist has a duty to operate their vehicle safely and, in most situations, yield to pedestrians. Distracted and reckless driving put pedestrians at risk and are common causes of catastrophic injury. Intersections are one of the most dangerous areas of the road for pedestrians, as many drivers fail to follow traffic signals or yield at crosswalks. Depending on where the accident occurred, pedestrians may share liability if they were jaywalking or not exhibiting a reasonable amount of caution. When you consult with our Phoenix pedestrian accident lawyer, we will review the details of what happened and begin the process of gathering evidence to hold the party responsible for your personal injuries accountable.
