Car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare crash representation across Arizona. One firm, one consistent strategy for every kind of vehicle injury claim.
When a vehicle is involved, every personal injury case looks a little different. The physics of a 4,000-pound sedan colliding with a motorcycle are not the same as a fully-loaded semi rear-ending a stopped car on the I-10, and the insurance and regulatory frameworks are not the same either. Big Dog Law handles the full range of motor vehicle injury claims under one roof — so the same trial-ready team that builds your car-crash case also knows how to attack a trucking company’s safety program or unwind a rideshare’s layered insurance.
What you should know
Insurance defense lawyers like to talk about car crashes as though they’re all the same. They are not. The right strategy depends on the kind of vehicle involved because that controls four key things:
Who is on the other side
A private driver's insurer behaves very differently from a national trucking carrier or a rideshare platform's defense team.
How much insurance is available
Commercial trucks carry seven-figure policies; rideshare cases trigger layered $1M+ policies depending on the driver's app status.
What evidence exists
Trucks have ELDs, GPS, dash cams, and DOT files. Rideshare apps log every status change. Motorcycles often have no airbag data — so scene reconstruction matters more.
What rules they had to follow
Trucking is governed by federal FMCSA regulations. Rideshare drivers operate under state TNC statutes. A passenger car crash relies on Arizona traffic law.
A firm that works one type of vehicle case all year tends to push every claim through the same template. We don’t. The investigation plan, the discovery plan, and the demand strategy are matched to what we are actually fighting.
Passenger car crashes
Rear-end, intersection, head-on, freeway pile-ups.
Commercial truck wrecks
Semi-trucks, box trucks, delivery vans — federal regulations apply.
Motorcycle crashes
Riders face higher injury severity and unfair insurer assumptions.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Crosswalk strikes, dooring incidents, hit-and-runs.
Rideshare collisions
Uber / Lyft cases involve layered insurance and special TNC rules.
Bus and shuttle accidents
Public transit, school buses, hotel and airport shuttles.
Rollovers and roof-crush
Often involve product-liability theories alongside driver fault.
Wrongful death from vehicle crashes
Two-year statute, statutory beneficiaries, complex damages.
Arizona personal injury claims, with limited exceptions.
A.R.S. § 12-821.01 — strict.
Contingency fee — no fee unless we recover.
The biggest single factor in case value is the severity and permanence of your injuries. A sprain that resolves in six weeks and a herniated disc that requires fusion surgery are different cases. Beyond severity, value tracks:
Liability clarity
A defendant who clearly violated a traffic law settles faster than a disputed-fault crash.
Medical documentation
Consistent treatment, clear causation, and well-supported future-care projections.
Wage and earning impact
Days missed, accommodations needed, and any reduction in long-term earning capacity.
Available insurance
A solid claim against an underinsured driver may need to pivot to your own UM/UIM coverage.
Conduct of the at-fault party
DUI and reckless conduct can support punitive damages on top of compensatory damages.
Our process
Free intake & strategy call
We listen first. If we can help, we explain exactly what we'd do, what the timeline looks like, and what the fee arrangement means in plain English.
Investigation & evidence lockdown
Police reports, photos, scene visit, witness interviews, video preservation letters, ELD/black-box data — done before the other side has time to tidy up.
Treatment coordination
You focus on getting better. We make sure your medical record clearly documents the link between the crash and your injuries.
Demand & negotiation
Once you reach maximum medical improvement, we package a defensible demand with the records, expert support, and damages math to back it up.
Litigation if it's the right move
If the insurer won't pay fair value, we file suit. We prepare every case as if it's going to a jury, because the cases that pay best are the ones the other side knows we will try.

Free, confidential consultation. No fee unless we recover.
