Common questions
Is this a law firm?

How long do I have to file a claim in Arizona?
Arizona generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines apply to claims involving a public entity — a formal notice of claim is generally required within 180 days. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
How is a catastrophic case different from a normal injury case?
Scale and proof. Lifetime care and lost earning capacity require expert documentation, and the amounts at stake mean insurers fight harder. A participating law firm can explain how these cases are typically built. No outcome is guaranteed.
How much is a catastrophic injury case worth in Surprise?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened. A participating Arizona law firm can review your Surprise situation and explain what a claim or settlement might involve. This is general information, not legal advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in Surprise?
Be careful — first offers often come before the full extent of injuries and losses is known, and accepting generally ends the claim. A participating Arizona law firm can review whether an offer reflects your Surprise situation. This is general information, not legal advice.

It varies widely — some matters resolve in months, while disputed cases can take a year or more. Acting early, preserving evidence, and getting treatment documented all help.
