Arizona Car Accident Lawyers

A car wreck sets off a chain reaction.

You might be in pain, unsure if your injuries are serious. You may be watching bills pile up while your income drops off. The stress of calling doctors, coordinating repairs, or managing child care can quickly become overwhelming. And when the insurance company starts calling, it can feel like pressure from all sides.

This isn’t just a legal problem. It’s your life—and everything that’s now up in the air.

Right now, your focus should be on healing. Let us handle the rest. Our job is to take the pressure off so you can focus on getting better. We take over communication with the insurance companies, collect the evidence, document your injuries, and start building your case from day one.

When you work with Torgenson Law, you’re not just hiring a law firm—you’re gaining a team that’s ready to go to bat for you. We don’t just fill out paperwork and hope for a settlement. We build every case like it’s going to trial. That means gathering medical records, talking to witnesses, consulting experts, and crafting a strategy that gets results. And we do it without ever losing sight of what matters most: you.

Why Families Turn to Torgenson Law

There’s no shortage of car accident lawyers in Arizona—but families come to us because we don’t treat their pain like just another case. We fight like it’s personal—because to us, it is.

Your Lawyer Picks Up the Phone—Not an Assistant

From your first call, you speak with the attorney who will actually handle your case. We don’t pass you off to case managers or junior staff. You get direct access to the person responsible for fighting for your recovery. When you need answers, we’re here. When you need updates, we provide them.

That kind of access and accountability makes a real difference when you’re trying to rebuild after a crash.

We Prepare for Trial From Day One

Insurance companies don’t offer fair settlements out of kindness—they offer them when they know they’re up against a law firm that’s ready to take them to court. That’s why we treat every case like it could go to trial.

We gather the facts early, preserve critical evidence, and work with accident reconstructionists and medical professionals to understand the full scope of your injuries. This preparation helps us negotiate from a position of strength—and often leads to better, faster results for our clients.

No Fees Until We Win for You

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay anything upfront. We cover the costs of building your case—medical records, expert testimony, court filings—and only get paid when we win compensation for you.

There’s no risk to you, and no reason to wait. The sooner we start, the stronger your case can be.

Real People. Real Fight. Real Results.

We’re not a settlement mill. We’re not interested in quick wins that leave you short-changed. We care about your outcome, your future, and your peace of mind. We bring Notre Dame training and a blue-collar mindset to every case, and we never forget the people behind the paperwork.

What Caused Your Crash Matters

Understanding what led to your accident isn’t just about closure—it’s about accountability. Arizona law allows you to pursue compensation when someone else’s careless behavior caused your injuries. At Torgenson Law, we dig into every detail to make sure the right people are held responsible.

Texting, Speeding, and Other Reckless Choices

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of crashes in Arizona. Whether it’s a driver texting behind the wheel, speeding through traffic, or ignoring signs, these choices can change lives in an instant.

We investigate thoroughly to show how another driver’s negligence caused your injuries—and to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve done.

Drunk and High Drivers

Despite years of public awareness campaigns, impaired driving remains a major threat on Arizona roads. DUI crashes are not just accidents—they are preventable tragedies caused by reckless decisions.

If you were hit by someone under the influence, we’ll make sure the full weight of the law is used to fight for your compensation. These cases often involve punitive damages, and we pursue every available avenue.

Dangerous Roads or Intersections

Sometimes, the crash isn’t just about the drivers. Faulty traffic lights, unmarked hazards, or poor road design can contribute to accidents. In those cases, we investigate whether a government entity or contractor may share the blame.

These cases are complex, but we have the experience to take them on. No matter who’s responsible, we make sure your story is heard and your losses are taken seriously.

What to Do in the Days After a Crash

The shock may have worn off, but the days following a crash can be just as overwhelming. You’re managing pain, sorting through paperwork, and wondering how long recovery might take. The steps you take now can have a major impact on your physical, emotional, and financial recovery.

Follow Up With Medical Providers

If you went to the ER or saw a doctor right after the crash, make sure to attend all follow-up appointments. Keep track of your symptoms and don’t hesitate to seek second opinions or additional care if something doesn’t feel right. Continued documentation of your condition strengthens your case and protects your health.

Keep a Record of Everything

Start a file—digital or physical—for everything related to the crash. Include receipts for medications, medical visits, car repairs, rental cars, and any time you’ve had to take off work. Keep a daily log of your symptoms, pain levels, emotional state, and any disruptions to your routine. This can be powerful evidence later.

Avoid Posting About the Crash on Social Media

It might feel natural to share what happened or update friends, but insurance companies monitor social media closely. Even seemingly harmless posts or photos can be used against you to question the severity of your injuries or your emotional distress. When in doubt, keep it offline until your case is resolved.

Talk to a Lawyer Before You Talk to Insurance

By now, you’ve probably received calls or letters from insurance companies. Don’t respond until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Insurers are trained to get you to make statements that minimize your claim. When you work with us, we handle those conversations and protect you from tactics that could cost you.

The Insurance Company Is Not on Your Side

After a crash, one of the first calls you’ll get is from an insurance adjuster. They may sound friendly and concerned—but make no mistake: their job is to protect the insurance company’s bottom line, not your recovery. These companies have entire teams trained to minimize what they pay out, and they’ll use anything you say to lower your claim or deny it entirely.

They’ll Sound Nice—But They’re Building a Case Against You

Insurance adjusters know how to ask questions that seem harmless but are carefully worded to  trip you up. They might ask you how you’re feeling or try to get you to admit partial fault, even casually. Statements like “I didn’t see them” or “I’m not that hurt” can and will be used against you later.

Once you’ve hired us, those calls stop. We handle every conversation and make sure your rights are protected. You never have to speak with the insurance company directly again.

What If the Other Driver Has No Insurance?

In Arizona, it’s not uncommon to be hit by someone who doesn’t have car insurance—or who doesn’t have enough to cover your damages. That doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) through your own policy can help. We’ll review your coverage, identify all possible sources of compensation, and pursue every avenue to get what you’re owed.

We Handle the Insurance Headaches for You

You didn’t ask to be in a crash. You shouldn’t have to spend the weeks after it arguing over bills, coverage, and fault. Our team knows the tactics insurance companies use—and we know how to shut them down.

We collect all the documentation they require, respond to every request, and push back hard when they try to underpay or delay. While you focus on recovering, we handle everything else.

Who’s at Fault? And Why It Matters

Figuring out who caused the crash is a key part of any car accident claim. But in Arizona, the law doesn’t require one person to be 100% at fault. Even if you think you may share some responsibility, you could still be entitled to compensation.

How Arizona Splits Blame Between Drivers

Arizona follows a system called “pure comparative negligence.” This means fault can be divided between multiple people, and your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found to be 10% at fault, you would still receive $90,000.

Insurance companies often try to use this law to shift more blame onto you and reduce their payout. We push back by proving exactly what happened and minimizing your share of the blame whenever possible.

What Happens If You’re Partially at Fault

It’s normal to question what you could’ve done differently after a crash. But feeling guilt and being legally at fault are two different things. Don’t assume you’re to blame just because the other driver says so—or because an officer didn’t issue a ticket.

We investigate every angle of your case. From witness statements and dashcam footage to police reports and expert analysis, we build a case that tells the full story—not just the one the other driver wants to tell.

What Your Claim Could Be Worth

No two crashes are alike. The amount of compensation you may be eligible for depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and what the future holds. At Torgenson Law, we dig into every category of damages to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table.

Hospital Bills, Car Repairs, and Missed Paychecks

After an accident, the bills come fast. ER visits, follow-ups with specialists, prescriptions, physical therapy, and vehicle repairs all add up quickly. If you’ve missed work due to pain or recovery, the financial strain can feel overwhelming.

We document every medical expense, collect all repair estimates, and calculate your lost income down to the dollar. We also project future costs if your injuries require ongoing treatment.

Pain That Doesn’t Show Up on a Scan

Not all damage can be seen on an X-ray. Pain, sleepless nights, anxiety, fear of driving—these are real consequences that deserve real compensation. Arizona law allows for non-economic damages, which cover the personal toll your injuries take on your quality of life.

We take time to understand how the crash has affected you emotionally, mentally, and physically. Then we fight to make sure that story is reflected in the compensation you receive.

Long-Term Impact on Your Life and Work

Some injuries don’t heal quickly. Some never do. If your ability to work, parent, or participate in everyday activities has been changed by the crash, your claim should reflect that.

We work with vocational experts and medical professionals to determine how your injury will affect your future earnings, your lifestyle, and your long-term care needs. That way, you’re not left struggling years down the line because an insurance company rushed you into a lowball offer.

Got a Lowball Offer? Here’s What to Do

Getting a settlement offer in the mail might feel like progress—but if that number seems low, it probably is. Insurance companies count on the fact that you’re stressed, financially strained, and eager to move on. But quick offers are often a sign that they’re trying to get ahead of your full recovery.

Why That First Check Isn’t Enough

Initial settlement offers rarely reflect the true value of your case. They might only cover your current medical bills and ignore lost income, long-term treatment, or pain and suffering. Accepting too early can mean giving up your right to seek more later—once the real cost becomes clear.

Before you sign anything, let us review the offer. We’ll tell you exactly what it covers, what’s missing, and what you should really be asking for.

How We Fight for the Full Amount

We don’t take the first number they offer—and we don’t take no for an answer. Our team builds a comprehensive case backed by medical records, expert opinions, and hard evidence. We show the insurance company that lowballing you won’t work.

And because they know we’re willing to go to court, they’re more likely to settle fairly.

We Go to Court When They Won’t Pay What’s Fair

If they still won’t budge, we’re ready. Some firms avoid trial at all costs. We don’t. Torgenson Law is trial-ready from day one. We prepare every case like it could end up in front of a jury—and if that’s what it takes to get you justice, we don’t hesitate.

Going to trial isn’t just about getting more money. It’s about holding the other side accountable, standing up for what you’ve lost, and showing that your pain deserves more than a quick payout.

How We Build a Case That Holds Up

You only get one chance to make your case. That’s why we build every car accident claim like it could end up in court. Even if we settle, preparing as if a jury will be involved helps us fight from a position of strength. From gathering crash data to bringing in medical professionals who can explain your injuries in plain terms, we don’t leave anything to chance.

Investigating the Crash and Finding Proof

The foundation of any strong case is evidence. We start by obtaining the police report and diving into every detail. Our team looks at traffic camera footage, vehicle damage, weather reports, and roadway conditions. If witnesses were present, we track them down and get statements. In more complex cases, we bring in accident reconstruction experts to recreate what happened and prove liability.

We also secure any data from electronic logging devices (in truck accidents) or vehicle black boxes that may have recorded speed, braking patterns, or impact forces. This technical data can play a critical role in proving fault.

Bringing In Doctors and Experts

Insurance companies aren’t moved by your pain—they respond to documentation. That’s why we work with medical professionals who can speak to the severity of your injuries and the impact they will have over time.

We may also consult with:

  • Physical therapists who detail your long-term mobility challenges
  • Vocational experts who assess your ability to return to work
  • Life care planners who outline future medical needs and costs

Their insight helps us present a full, undeniable picture of your damages.

Showing the Real Impact of Your Injuries

Medical bills are just one part of the equation. We take time to understand how your injuries have changed your life. Are you missing your child’s games because of pain? Struggling with anxiety every time you get behind the wheel? We include that in your case.

We also ask for journal entries, photos of your recovery, and testimony from loved ones who’ve seen the toll the crash has taken. These human elements help tell the full story—one that insurance companies can’t ignore.

Questions We Hear Every Day

If you’ve never had to file a personal injury claim before, it’s normal to have questions. And if you’re unsure whether your situation even qualifies for a claim, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common concerns we hear from accident victims—and our answers are grounded in experience.

Can I Still Win If I Was Partly at Fault?

Yes. Arizona uses a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your total recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. If a jury finds you 20% responsible, and your damages are $100,000, you would still receive $80,000.

Don’t let the other driver—or their insurer—convince you that being partially at fault means you have no case. Let us evaluate what happened. We’re experienced in fighting back when insurance companies try to overstate your share of blame.

How Long Do I Have to File?

In Arizona, the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is two years from the date of the crash. But waiting that long can hurt your case. Evidence disappears. Witnesses become harder to find. Medical records get lost in the shuffle.

The sooner you call, the more we can do. Our team moves quickly to preserve evidence and start building your claim the right way—from day one.

What If the Other Driver Wasn’t Ticketed?

Tickets help, but they’re not required. Just because the police didn’t issue a citation doesn’t mean you can’t prove fault. We’ve handled many successful cases where the other driver wasn’t ticketed but was still clearly responsible for the crash.

What matters most is the total body of evidence. We collect everything—from witness statements to expert analysis—to show who was truly responsible.

What the Legal Process Looks Like

Most people we speak to aren’t looking to sue someone—they’re looking to heal, pay their bills, and move forward. But when insurance companies don’t offer enough, legal action becomes necessary. Here’s how that process works with Torgenson Law.

It Starts With a Free, No-Pressure Call

You don’t have to commit to anything right away. Start by talking to us. We’ll listen to your story, answer your questions, and tell you whether we think you have a case. If you decide to move forward, we take care of the paperwork and get to work immediately.

You’ll never be pressured. You’ll never be rushed. This is your decision—we’re here to support it, not push it.

We Dig In and Build Your Case

Once we’re working together, we begin a thorough investigation. We gather medical records, accident reports, bills, witness statements, and expert evaluations. Every case is different, but our goal is always the same: to build a claim that demands fair compensation.

We keep you informed along the way and make sure you’re never in the dark about where your case stands.

We Negotiate. We Litigate. We Win.

Most cases settle. But they don’t settle fairly unless the other side knows we’re willing to go to trial. That’s why we build pressure by preparing every case for court. If they come back with a strong settlement, great. If not—we’re ready.

When we do go to trial, we come prepared with a fully developed story backed by facts, expert testimony, and your lived experience. And we fight to win.

Injuries That Change Lives

Some injuries heal in weeks. Others change everything. When you’ve been seriously hurt in a crash, you may be facing surgeries, physical therapy, mental health challenges, and a long road back to normal. We take that seriously—and we fight for the compensation that reflects it.

Head Injuries and Brain Trauma

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can range from concussions to long-term cognitive impairment. Victims may deal with headaches, memory loss, mood swings, and problems concentrating. These symptoms may not be obvious right away, but they can affect every part of your life.

We work with neurologists and brain injury specialists to understand the full extent of your condition. Your future matters—and we build a case that reflects that.

Spinal Cord Damage and Paralysis

Even minor back injuries can have a big impact. More serious spinal cord trauma can cause permanent paralysis or loss of sensation. These injuries often require home modifications, long-term care, and loss of independence.

Our legal team fights for settlements that cover every aspect of this life-altering injury—including equipment, therapy, and caregiver support.

Broken Bones and Internal Damage

Fractures can lead to chronic pain, missed work, and complications down the road. Internal injuries like organ damage or internal bleeding may require emergency surgery and carry long-term health risks.

These injuries are serious—even if they don’t make headlines. We treat them that way in your case.

Anxiety, PTSD, and Emotional Fallout

The emotional toll of a crash doesn’t always fade when the bruises do. Many clients come to us struggling with fear, depression, or anxiety about driving. Others experience PTSD symptoms, including nightmares and panic attacks.

We never overlook mental health. Arizona law recognizes emotional distress as a real and compensable injury. We work with therapists and trauma experts to support your claim and your recovery.

What To Do if You Lost Someone in the Crash

There’s no pain like losing someone you love in a preventable accident. One careless decision—a text message, a missed stop sign, a reckless swerve—and your entire world is changed forever. When someone else’s negligence causes a fatal crash, Arizona law gives families a way to seek accountability. While no amount of money can replace the person you lost, a wrongful death claim can help bring stability and justice in a time of overwhelming grief.

What Counts as a Wrongful Death in Arizona

In Arizona, a wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a direct result of another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. This could mean a driver who was texting behind the wheel, a drunk driver who crossed the center line, or even a trucking company that failed to maintain a vehicle properly.

Wrongful death isn’t about assigning blame out of anger—it’s about ensuring the person responsible is held accountable. It also ensures the surviving family isn’t left alone to carry the financial burden of someone else’s mistake.

Who Can Step Forward and File

Arizona law is clear about who has the right to file a wrongful death claim. The following individuals may be eligible:

  • The deceased person’s surviving spouse
  • Their children (including adult and adopted children)
  • Their parents or legal guardians
  • The personal representative of the deceased’s estate, if there are no immediate family members

Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, we can help you understand your rights. Many families don’t realize they have standing until they speak with a lawyer.

If there’s no surviving spouse or children, the estate can bring the claim on behalf of other beneficiaries. We guide you through the process to make sure every voice is heard and every legal avenue is explored.

What You Might Recover

A wrongful death claim can help your family recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses related to your loved one’s final care
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Lost income and benefits they would have provided
  • The emotional and relational loss you now face

Arizona also allows claims for the pain and suffering your loved one may have experienced before passing. These damages—called survival damages—recognize the fear, pain, or suffering that occurred in the moments between injury and death.

We work closely with economists, grief counselors, and medical experts to calculate every component of your claim. No detail is too small when your family’s future is at stake.

But if a fair deal doesn’t come to the table, we’re not afraid to go to war. Your recovery matters, and we will not settle for less.
