Pedestrian Accident cases in Phoenix
People walk everywhere in Phoenix — across Camelback Road, Indian School Road, and McDowell Road, near schools and shopping centers, and through busy parking lots. With heavy Interstate 10 freight traffic and extreme summer heat, drivers in Maricopa County too often fail to yield, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.
Drivers generally must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise care everywhere else. If a driver hit you or a family member, a participating Arizona law firm may review the crash and explain your options.

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.
What if I was hit outside a crosswalk?
You may still have a claim. Arizona's pure comparative negligence rule reduces a recovery by your share of fault but doesn't bar it. A participating law firm can review what happened.
How much is a pedestrian accident case worth in Phoenix?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in Phoenix?
