Practice Areas
Automobile Accidents
Car accidents, truck accidents, and automobile accidents cause numerous injuries every day.

Dog Bites
When someone suffers an injury as a result of a dog bite or an attack by another animal, it can be a very difficult and painful experience, and it can also change a person’s life. Following a dog bite injury, many people experience a lifetime fear of dogs. Our Phoenix Dog Bite Attorneys have handled numerous cases involving dog bite attacks, and we have the experience to maximize the legal recovery you are entitled to if you have suffered a dog bite injury.
Large Truck and Tractor-Trailer Accidents
The consequences of a large truck or tractor-trailer accident can be devastating. Many tractor-trailers are carrying loads of 60,000 pounds or more on our interstate highways and city streets. If a driver falls asleep, is inattentive, or if their brakes fail, the resulting accident can cause serious injuries, including brain injuries, and, unfortunately, many times, wrongful death. Our Phoenix Semi-Truck And Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyers have extensive experience in large truck accidents. We are familiar with federal and state laws, in addition to federal regulations, which regulate the interstate trucking industry.
Products Liability and Defective Products
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products have a responsibility to make and sell consumer goods in compliance with accepted standards regarding health and safety, and they must provide sufficient warnings in the event that their products are hazardous, and if dangerous they must take those dangerous products off the market.
When this happens, our Phoenix Attorneys for Accidents Involving Dangerous Products will take the steps necessary to hold these corporations responsible.
Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals and doctors, like everybody, make mistakes. The difference is that when doctors and medical professionals make mistakes and commit medical malpractice, the consequences from their mistakes can result in serious injury, brain injury, and even wrongful death. If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, contact our Phoenix Medical Malpractice Attorneys for a free personal consultation.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are more dangerous than cars and trucks, and when involved in an accident, motorcyclists can suffer serious injury, brain injury, or wrongful death. But because they are so popular for recreation and transportation purposes, there are millions of motorcycles registered throughout the United States. Our Phoenix Motorcycle Accident Lawyers have the substantial experience in representing people injured in motorcycle accidents.
Pedestrian Accidents
Of the numerous auto accidents that occur every day in Phoenix, Arizona, some of the most serious injuries occur when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle. If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, call our Phoenix Pedestrian Accident Attorneys for a free consultation.
Premises Liability / Slip and Fall Accident
Have you been injured in an accident on the premises of someone else? If so, our premises liability attorneys may be able to help you. In Arizona, if someone is negligent in the maintenance of their premises, and you are injured as a consequence of that negligence, that person or business is responsible for your injuries. Our Phoenix Attorneys for Accidents On The Premises Of Others have the substantial experience in representing people injured on the premises of others.
SUV Rollover Accidents
SUVs are more likely to rollover in an accident than most passenger vehicles because they have a much higher center of gravity. Our Phoenix SUV Rollover Accident Attorney have the experience and knowledge to fight the vehicle manufacturers on your behalf because of a defectively designed SUV.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists
In Phoenix, Arizona, it is estimated that as many as 40% of all vehicles on the road do not have automobile insurance. If you are involved in an auto accident and the other driver is at fault but they do not carry any automobile insurance or carry enough insurance, what are you able to do? Our attorneys are well versed in uninsured motorists and underinsured motorists law. The injuries covered by UM/UIM include serious injury, brain injury, and wrongful death. If you are a victim of an accident, and the fault driver does not have insurance or not enough insurance, please contact our Phoenix Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists Attorneys to receive a free personal consultation.
Brain Injury, Serious and Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death
The brain is our most important organ. It is the essence of who we are and it provides us with the ability to think and make decisions. When a Brain Injury occurs, the functions of the neurons, nerve tracts, or sections of the brain can be effected. If this happens, neurons and nerve tracts can be unable or have difficulty carrying the messages that tell the brain what to do, resulting in Thinking Changes, Physical Changes, and Personality and Behavioral Changes.
When an accident victim suffers Serious and Catastrophic Injuries, such as limb amputations, spinal cord injuries, like paraplegia and quadriplegia, brain injury, or other serious and catastrophic injuries, their life is forever changed. Frequently, these injury victims may need medical care for the remainder of their life. They lose their ability to work and earn income.
Wrongful Death claims present us with some of the greatest challenges we face as attorneys. The surviving family members are experiencing tremendous grief, and often anger when the negligence of someone else causes them to lose a family member.
