Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
Our personal injury lawyers in Tucson handle a full range of cases in Arizona. These include the following common types:
- Car accidents – If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Tucson, you need an experienced car accident lawyer on your side before you talk to the insurance company. We have in-depth knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, accident reconstruction, and black box technology. We also represent victims of big rig and commercial truck accident.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable on Tucson roads. When a driver’s negligence causes a motorcycle accident, the injuries are often catastrophic. We fight to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation.
- Product liability – Consumers generally expect that products available on the marketplace are safe for their intended use, but this isn’t always the case. If you’ve been injured by a defective product, our team can help.
- Medical malpractice – Medical malpractice cases can be among the most complex to litigate. We apply our extensive experience and knowledge of Arizona statutes and case law to the benefit of our clients.
- Wrongful death – A wrongful death is one that results from another person’s negligent or otherwise legally wrongful actions. A wrongful death lawsuit may stem from an auto accident, defective product, or act of medical negligence.
We Pursue Maximum Compensation on Your Behalf
Unlike some states, Arizona places no caps on the damages recoverable in a personal injury lawsuit. That means our Tucson personal injury attorneys can pursue the full value of your claim without arbitrary limits cutting into the compensation you’re owed. Our personal injury attorneys will vigorously pursue maximum compensation on your behalf so that you can care for your health, provide for your family, and move forward with your life.
There are three main types of damages involved in personal injury cases, as follows:
- Economic damages – These are damages awarded for calculable losses. For instance, you may demand compensation for your related past and future medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.
- Non-economic damages – These are subjectively calculated damages that may be paid to plaintiffs for non-tangible losses. Examples include pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages – Punitive damages may be available in some cases. These are intended to punish a defendant for conduct that is particularly egregious.
Arizona law is rather strict regarding the awarding of punitive damages. Punitive damages may only be available if the defendant can be shown to have intentionally harmed the plaintiff because of ill will, or if the defendant understood that their actions were negligent and likely to result in harm, yet carried out those actions regardless.
Generally, the more serious the incident and resulting injuries, the higher the damages will be. Our personal injury attorney will vigorously pursue substantial compensation for your losses.
Don’t Wait To File Your Claim: Arizona’s Status of Limitations
In Arizona, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the injury under ARS § 12-542. Missing that deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation entirely, regardless of how strong your case may be. If you’ve been injured, the sooner you speak with a personal injury attorney, the better your chances of preserving critical evidence and building a strong case.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, Arizona law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under ARS § 12-542. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation entirely. If you’ve been injured, don’t wait. Contact our team of trusted Tucson personal injury lawyers as soon as possible to protect your rights.
The steps you take after a car accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. First, call 911 and seek medical attention. Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, some injuries aren’t immediately apparent and a medical record is critical to your claim. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with the other driver, and collect witness contact information if possible. Avoid admitting fault at the scene and do not speak to the insurance company without an attorney, as adjusters move quickly and anything you say can be used to minimize your settlement. Contact one of our Tucson personal injury attorneys as soon as possible to help protect your rights.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some straightforward cases resolve in a matter of months, while more complex cases can take a year or longer. Our attorneys will keep you informed every step of the way and work to reach the best possible outcome in the most efficient timeframe.
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% at fault, you would recover 80% of your total damages. An experienced personal injury attorney can help assess liability and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
There is no true “average” personal injury settlement in Arizona. Any figure you see online should be taken with caution. Settlement amounts vary enormously depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, the clarity of liability, the insurance coverage available, your medical expenses, lost income, and the long-term impact on your life. A minor soft tissue injury and a catastrophic spinal cord injury are both personal injury cases, but they have virtually nothing in common when it comes to value.
