Phoenix car accident lawyer

Big Dog Law represents Phoenix drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured in vehicle crashes inside the city and on metro freeways. Free consultation.

Phoenix carries Arizona’s heaviest crash volume — by a wide margin. The combination of dense freeway traffic, year-round construction, and aggressive driving on wide arterials produces a steady stream of serious injury cases. Big Dog Law builds Phoenix crash cases the same way regardless of size: lock down evidence early, document every injury, and prepare every file as though it’s going to a Maricopa County jury.

Phoenix crash basics

  • Arizona is a fault state — the at-fault driver and their insurer are responsible for your damages.
  • The 2-year statute of limitations applies to most Phoenix crash claims.
  • 180-day notice rule applies if a city, county, or state vehicle or roadway is involved.
  • Pure comparative negligence: partial fault reduces but does not eliminate recovery.

Why Phoenix crashes hit harder

Phoenix’s freeway system was designed for a metro a fraction of its current size, and it shows in the daily crash data. The biggest case-shaping local factors:

  • Stop-and-go on the I-10, I-17, and 101

    Long stretches of slow-and-go traffic produce chain-reaction rear-end crashes — often with severe injuries despite low impact speeds.

  • High-speed surface streets

    Camelback, Bell, Indian School, McDowell, and 7th Street regularly carry traffic at near-freeway speeds; intersection wrecks are correspondingly severe.

  • Construction-zone crashes

    ADOT projects routinely shift lanes overnight, creating predictable crash clusters that often involve government and contractor liability.

  • Spring training and event traffic

    Concentrated rideshare and DUI crashes around game days and downtown events.

Evidence that wins Phoenix car-accident cases

  • Phoenix Police Department or DPS report

    We obtain and review the report carefully — including any officer narrative or supplemental witness lists.

  • Surveillance video

    Phoenix has dense commercial security coverage; preservation letters in the first week often unlock dispositive footage.

  • Vehicle event-data-recorder downloads

    Modern vehicles record speed, throttle, brake input, and seatbelt status in the seconds before impact.

  • Phone records

    Distracted-driving cases are made when call/text logs match the timeline of the crash.

  • Treatment continuity

    Consistent care from a Phoenix-area provider, with clear causation language in the chart.
