Pedestrians have the right of way. When drivers don't stop, we step in.
No legal fees unless we win · Serving all of Arizona
If you were struck by a vehicle in Arizona as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Drivers owe a heightened duty of care to pedestrians in crosswalks, at intersections, and in parking lots. If the at-fault party is a government entity (a city vehicle, poorly maintained road, or faulty traffic signal), Arizona requires a notice of claim within 180 days (ARS § 12-821.01) — far shorter than the standard two-year statute of limitations (ARS § 12-542). Early legal review helps protect both deadlines.
After a pedestrian accident, 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.
Scene Investigation
Crosswalk cameras, traffic signals, and witness statements that prove the driver's fault.
If you were hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian, these steps can help protect your rights and your case:
A police report documents the scene, the driver's information, and any traffic violations.
Pedestrian injuries are often severe. Internal bleeding, fractures, and head injuries need urgent evaluation.
The crosswalk, traffic signals, your injuries, the vehicle, skid marks — all of this is evidence.
Bystanders who saw the accident can confirm the driver's fault and counter any blame-shifting.
They will use your words to argue you were at fault. Let us handle all communication.
We will investigate the scene, review traffic camera footage, and build a case that proves the driver's fault.
Arizona consistently ranks in the top 5 states for pedestrian fatalities. Wide, high-speed roads with limited crosswalks create deadly conditions.
Many Arizona intersections lack adequate pedestrian signals, crosswalks, or median refuges — forcing pedestrians to cross 6+ lanes of traffic.
Arizona's arterial roads often have 45-55 mph speed limits running through residential and commercial areas where pedestrians are present.
Despite Arizona's distracted driving law, phone use behind the wheel remains a leading cause of pedestrian crashes statewide.
Many Arizona neighborhoods lack sidewalks entirely, forcing pedestrians into the road — especially in older parts of Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa.
No upfront fees. No legal fees unless we recover money for you.
We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Insurance companies will try to blame you — "you weren't in a crosswalk," "you were wearing dark clothing." In Arizona, even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover compensation. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. A good attorney fights to minimize any fault assigned to you.
Without the protection of a vehicle, pedestrian injuries are often severe and life-altering.
Pedestrian injuries are often catastrophic because there's no vehicle protecting the victim. We fight for every category:
2-Year Statute of Limitations
Arizona pedestrian accident victims have two years to file a lawsuit. If a government entity is involved (city bus, government vehicle), a notice of claim must be filed within 180 days.
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.
