Personal Injury FAQs

Clear, honest answers to the questions we hear most from Arizona accident victims.

After Your Accident

Your health comes first — get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries. If you can, document the scene with photos, exchange information with the other driver, and report the crash to police. Before speaking with any insurance company, contact an attorney. Statements made early can be used to reduce your claim.

Do not give a recorded statement and do not accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters move quickly after accidents — they are protecting their company’s bottom line, not yours. Once you hire AJ Hall Injury Law Team, we handle all communication with the insurance company on your behalf. You never have to deal with them directly.

Yes — absolutely. Traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal injuries can have delayed symptoms that don’t show up for hours or even days. A medical evaluation protects your health and creates documentation that is essential for your claim. Gaps in treatment can be used by insurance companies to argue your injuries were not serious.

Arizona generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, some situations have shorter deadlines — for example, claims involving government entities may require notice within 180 days. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better. Evidence can disappear and deadlines can sneak up quickly.

Working With AJ Hall

You pay no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis — our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, and you owe nothing unless we obtain compensation. Every fee agreement is explained clearly in writing before representation begins. There is no financial risk to you for reaching out.

Most personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation without going to trial. Attorney AJ Hall negotiates directly with insurance companies to reach the best possible settlement. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Every case we accept is built as if it could go to trial — that preparation is part of why we negotiate from a position of strength.

Every case is different. Some cases resolve in a few months through negotiation, while others take longer depending on the severity of injuries, the complexity of the case, and how cooperative the insurance company is. We will always give you an honest assessment of the timeline for your specific situation. We never rush a settlement at the expense of your recovery.

Our biggest differentiator is our in-house Medical Director. Dr. Rolando Contreras reviews every client’s medical records to ensure the full extent of your injuries is accurately documented — most personal injury firms do not have a medical professional on staff. Beyond that, Attorney AJ Hall personally oversees every case strategy, Alfred Valdez provides direct bilingual client communication, and you are never handed off to a junior associate or treated like a case number. You get a dedicated three-person team that knows your name.

Your Case & Compensation

Case value depends on several factors — the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost wages, the long-term impact on your quality of life, and the circumstances of the accident. We never give inflated estimates to win your business. After reviewing your case thoroughly, we will give you an honest assessment of what damages may be recoverable in your specific situation.

You may still have options. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may provide compensation even when the at-fault driver has little or no insurance. We review your policy and every available avenue to maximize what you can recover. Do not assume you are out of options just because the other driver was uninsured.

Yes. Our Paralegal and Client Liaison Alfred Valdez provides full bilingual support in English and Spanish throughout every stage of your case. Every client deserves clear, confident communication — regardless of the language they are most comfortable speaking. Hablamos Español.
