When drivers flee the scene, we track them down and hold them accountable.
No legal fees unless we win · Serving all of Arizona
If you were injured by a hit-and-run driver in Arizona, your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is typically the primary source of compensation. Arizona requires insurers to offer UM coverage, and most policies include it. Even without identifying the at-fault driver, you can pursue a claim under your UM policy. Additional pathways include Arizona's Crime Victim Compensation program and — if a government vehicle was involved — a notice of claim under ARS § 12-821.01 within 180 days. The general statute of limitations is two years (ARS § 12-542).
After a hit and run, you shouldn't have to fight an insurance company while you're still in pain. Here's what we take off your plate:
Insurance Company Calls
We deal with the adjusters so you never have to take another stressful call.
Medical Records & Bills
Coordinating with hospitals, requesting records, tracking every dollar of your treatment.
Evidence & Investigation
Police reports, witness statements, accident reconstruction — we build your case from day one.
Negotiation & Settlement
We know what your case is worth and won't accept less. If they won't pay fair, we take it to trial.
Deadlines & Paperwork
Arizona has strict filing deadlines. We track every one so you never miss a date.
Driver Investigation
We pursue every avenue to identify the hit-and-run driver.
A hit and run is disorienting — you're hurt, the other driver is gone, and you don't know what to do. Here's what matters:
A police report is critical. Arizona law requires drivers to stop after an accident — fleeing is a crime.
Vehicle make, model, color, partial plate. Direction they fled. Witness names and numbers.
Nearby businesses, traffic cameras, and doorbell cameras often capture hit and run vehicles.
Adrenaline masks pain. Get checked out even if you feel okay — documentation matters for your claim.
We'll help you navigate your UM claim and pursue fair recovery.
Real settlements, prepared like trials — by a lawyer who started his career prosecuting cases.
Uninsured Motorist
Pre-trial recovery for client struck by an uninsured driver. Pursued claim through client's own UM coverage.

No upfront fees. No legal fees unless we recover money for you.
We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
(480) 899-9019 — free consultation
Even when the at-fault driver disappears, Arizona law provides paths to compensation:
Your own UM policy covers you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or can't be found. This is the primary recovery path in most hit and run cases.
Police investigation, surveillance footage, witness statements, and vehicle debris analysis can identify the fleeing driver — opening their insurance policy.
Medical payments coverage on your Arizona auto policy pays your medical bills regardless of fault, providing immediate financial relief.
If the hit and run driver was working, driving a company vehicle, or served alcohol before driving, additional parties may be liable.
Surveillance footage is often overwritten within 24-72 hours. Witness memories fade. Physical evidence at the scene gets cleaned up. Contact us immediately so we can preserve the evidence needed to identify the driver and build your case.
Hit and run victims are often pedestrians and cyclists who suffer severe injuries from unprotected impacts.
Even when the at-fault driver fled, we fight for every category of compensation that applies to your case:
2-Year Statute of Limitations
Arizona's two-year statute of limitations applies to hit and run injury claims. Your UM policy may also require notice within 30-60 days — contact an attorney immediately.
If a Government Entity Was Involved — Shorter Deadlines Apply
When the at-fault party may be a government entity — a city or county, a public school, a state agency, ADOT, a police or sheriff department, a public hospital, or a government-owned road or vehicle — Arizona imposes two deadlines that are much shorter than the general two-year period:
Missing the 180-day notice typically bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the case is. Early legal review helps identify whether a government defendant applies and protects both deadlines.
