How to choose a lawyer in Phoenix

Choosing a personal injury lawyer in Phoenix comes down to a few practical checks. Look for an attorney who focuses on personal injury rather than handling it occasionally, and ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a lawyer will take a case to court. Confirm the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you will deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs, and ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to line up local attorneys, then ask these questions before you commit.

What to do after an accident in Phoenix

After an accident in Phoenix, put safety and health first. Get medical care even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Then act promptly: Illinois has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so delays can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can review your situation and explain next steps.
