Arizona Car Accident Lawyer | AJ Hall Injury Law Team
Hit on an Arizona road? We fight the insurance company so you can focus on healing.
Complimentary consultation with an Arizona car accident lawyer.
Why injured Arizonans call us first.
Most personal injury firms hand your case to a junior associate and a paralegal. However, at AJ Hall Injury Law Team your case stays with three people whose names are on the door — including a Medical Director most firms in Arizona don't have.
An in-house Medical Director
Dr. Rolando Contreras personally reviews your medical records and quantifies the full extent of your injuries — including the ones insurance companies routinely undervalue. Furthermore, this is a capability most Arizona PI firms simply don't have on staff.
A three-person team that knows your name
You won't be case #4,872. Specifically, Arthur personally oversees every strategy. Meanwhile, Alfred serves as your bilingual day-to-day contact. On the medical side, Dr. Contreras handles records and injury documentation. Together, the three of us keep you informed at every stage.
We fight insurance — we don't represent it
Other firms sometimes have corporate ties to the same insurance companies they negotiate against. By contrast, every conversation we have with an adjuster is fully on your behalf — with no conflicting loyalties.
You focus on healing.
We focus on winning.
What to do after a car accident in Arizona.
The first 48 hours matter more than most people realize. In fact, what you do — and don't do — can affect your case for months. Below is the order we recommend if you're physically able.
Get medical care, even if you feel fine
Adrenaline masks pain after a crash. Furthermore, soft-tissue and head injuries often hide symptoms for 24-72 hours. As a result, going to urgent care or the ER creates the medical record that ties your injuries to the crash.
Call law enforcement and file a report
If there's any injury, death, or property damage, Arizona law requires you to remain at the scene and notify police. Moreover, the police report becomes the foundation of every personal injury claim — never leave without one.
Document everything — photos, witnesses, plates
Capture photos of vehicle damage, the scene, road conditions, traffic signs, and your injuries. Additionally, grab names and phone numbers from any witnesses. Then collect license plates and insurance info from every driver involved. However, never rely on the police report alone.
Don't talk to the other driver's insurance adjuster
Within 24-48 hours, the other driver's adjuster will call. At first, they'll sound friendly. However, they are not your friend. Anything you say can — and will — be used to reduce or deny your claim. Instead, tell them to talk to your attorney.
Call a personal injury attorney before signing anything
Insurance companies typically make a fast lowball offer in the first week — before you know the true cost of your injuries. However, once you sign, that offer becomes final. As a result, a consultation costs nothing — and afterward you'll know what your case is actually worth.
Know the Arizona statute of limitations
In Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim (A.R.S. § 12-542). Wait too long and your right to compensation can be lost entirely — regardless of how serious the injury is.

Arizona car accident cases we handle.
From a rear-end on the 101 to a multi-vehicle pile-up on I-10, we handle the full range of Arizona car accident claims. Moreover, every case gets the same hands-on approach.
Rear-end collisions
The most common Arizona crash type. While liability is usually clear, insurance companies still fight on injury value. However, we don't let them.
Head-on collisions
These rank among the most catastrophic crashes. Often, they involve serious or permanent injuries requiring long-term medical documentation — exactly where Dr. Contreras's in-house review matters most.
T-bone / intersection accidents
Right-of-way and red-light disputes often get contested fast. As a result, we investigate signal timing, witness accounts, and traffic camera footage.
Hit-and-run accidents
When the at-fault driver flees, your own uninsured motorist coverage usually pays. As a result, we make sure the claim is filed correctly and not denied on a technicality.
Rideshare (Uber, Lyft)
For example, coverage depends on whether the driver had a passenger, was en route, or was offline. Furthermore, we pull the trip records and identify every policy that should apply.
DUI-caused crashes
Furthermore, drunk driving cases can support claims for additional damages. Additionally, we coordinate with the criminal proceeding to strengthen the civil case.
Uninsured / underinsured motorist
Arizona requires drivers to carry liability coverage. However, plenty don't. As a result, we handle UM/UIM claims against your own carrier when the at-fault driver can't pay.
Multi-vehicle pile-ups
These accidents are common on I-10 through Phoenix and the 202 around Tempe and Mesa during monsoon season. Furthermore, multiple insurance companies, contested fault, and complex investigation are involved. As a result, we coordinate it all.
Commercial vehicle crashes
Delivery vans, semis, and company-owned vehicles bring corporate insurance into play. As a result, these cases usually involve larger policies — and larger fights.
The team that will handle your case.
You won't be passed between strangers. Furthermore, the three of us handle every case from start to finish.
Arthur J. Hall
With 18+ years as an attorney, Arthur personally oversees every case strategy. In addition, he negotiates directly with insurance companies — never delegating to a junior associate.
Dr. Rolando Contreras
Reviews all medical records in-house and provides detailed analysis of your injuries. Furthermore, he bridges medical treatment and legal advocacy — a role most Arizona PI firms don't have on staff.
Alfred Valdez
Your day-to-day point of contact and bilingual in English and Spanish. Furthermore, Alfred manages communication with adjusters and keeps you updated through every stage of your case.
Client Experiences Shared
"I had the best experience. AJ and his team were so helpful and thorough. I wasn't going to go through a firm because my car accident was so minor. But AJ and his team turned a $30k claim into a $100k claim. They know their stuff and I highly recommend them. Thanks AJ, Rolando and team."
"I'm forever grateful to them for their knowledge, generosity and professionalism. Taking my calls over the weekend, at night — always making sure they were there for us in our time of need. With their careful guidance we were able to resolve our conflict outside of court. AJ is an exceptional attorney in my opinion."
"I've never needed a lawyer before but I was hit by an underage red light runner and his insurance was some small insurance company from back east. To say they were awful to deal with would be an understatement. The stress was intense until I was directed to AJ. He was awesome and was a rockstar the entire way. He fought this company and was able to get a settlement much higher than I had imagined."
What working with us actually looks like.
No mystery, no surprises. Here's exactly how your case moves from the first call to a resolution.
Free consultation
Tell us what happened. Then we listen, ask questions, explain what you're entitled to, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. Furthermore, there's no pressure and no fees.
Investigation + records
We collect the police report, witness statements, and every relevant medical record. In addition, Dr. Contreras reviews the medical side in-house.
Negotiation
Arthur negotiates directly with the insurance company. Typically the first offer gets rejected. So does the second. Ultimately, the only number we accept is the one that's right.
Settlement or trial
Generally, most cases settle. However, if the insurance company won't be reasonable, we're prepared to take your case to court. Additionally, you pay nothing unless we recover.
Compensation we fight to recover.
In fact, a car accident costs more than what shows up on the first hospital bill. Arizona law allows you to pursue compensation for every category of loss the crash caused.
- Medical bills (past + future)
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of consortium
- Long-term quality-of-life impact
