Arizona Truck Accident Lawyer
Hit by a truck in Arizona? We fight the trucking company so you can focus on healing.
Complimentary consultation with an Arizona truck accident lawyer.
Why injured Arizonans call us first.
Truck cases involve multiple insurance policies, federal regulations, and corporate defense teams trained to deflect liability. Furthermore, most firms aren't equipped to handle them. However, at AJ Hall Injury Law Team your case stays with three people whose names are on the door — including an in-house Medical Director who documents truck-impact injuries the right way.
An in-house Medical Director
Dr. Rolando Contreras personally reviews your medical records, quantifying the full extent of your injuries — including the ones insurance companies routinely undervalue. Notably, most Arizona personal injury firms don't have this capability on staff.
A three-person team that knows your name
You won't be case #4,872 at a mill. 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 stay on your case from first call to resolution.
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 on your behalf — without conflicting loyalties.
You focus on healing.
We focus on winning.
What to do after a truck accident in Arizona.
The first 48 hours matter more than most people realize. What you do — and what you 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. Soft-tissue and head injuries often hide symptoms for 24-72 hours. Therefore, 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 injury, death, or property damage, Arizona law requires you to stay on scene and notify police. Importantly, the police report becomes the foundation of every personal injury claim — never leave the scene without one.
Document everything — photos, witnesses, plates
Capture photos of vehicle damage, the scene, road conditions, traffic signs, and your injuries. Also grab names and phone numbers from any witnesses. Then collect license plates and insurance info from every driver involved. 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. Once you sign, that offer becomes final. Therefore, 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 truck accident cases we handle.
For example, from a jackknife on I-10 to a wide-turn collision in a Phoenix industrial park, we handle the full range of Arizona truck accident claims. Moreover, every case gets the same hands-on approach — alongside the deep insurance investigation commercial trucking cases demand.
Rear-end truck accidents
When an 80,000-pound truck rear-ends a passenger vehicle, the impact creates one of the most catastrophic crash patterns on Arizona roads. Insurance companies move fast to limit liability. However, we move faster to document everything.
Jackknife accidents
When a trailer swings perpendicular to the cab, multiple vehicles get caught in the wreckage. Often this means serious or permanent injuries that demand long-term medical documentation — exactly where Dr. Contreras's in-house review matters most.
Override / underride accidents
When a car slides under a trailer — or a truck rolls over a smaller vehicle — the outcome is almost always fatal or catastrophic. Consequently, we pursue every responsible party: driver, trucking company, trailer owner, and equipment manufacturer.
Blind spot (no-zone) accidents
Commercial trucks have massive blind spots. Nevertheless, a driver who can't see you isn't a legal defense. Moreover, federal regulations require trucks to actively avoid these zones. Where carriers fail, we use those same regulations against them.
Wide-turn accidents
Often a truck making a right turn swings left first to clear the trailer — and catches vehicles or pedestrians on the right side. Trucking companies bear responsibility for training drivers on these maneuvers. Therefore, when training fails, they're liable.
Truck rollover accidents
Typically caused by improperly loaded cargo, speeding through curves, or driver error. Specifically, we investigate whether the load was secured to federal standards and whether the driver had the experience the route demanded.
Cargo / hazmat spill accidents
When dangerous cargo spills onto an Arizona highway, cleanup is just the beginning. Moreover, hazmat exposure causes long-term medical complications, while federal regulations open multiple paths to recovery. We pursue all of them.
Fatigue / hours-of-service violations
In addition, federal law caps how long a truck driver can be on duty. When carriers push drivers past those limits, electronic logging device (ELD) data tells the story. Therefore, we subpoena it before it disappears.
Brake failure / equipment defects
Furthermore, federal law requires daily brake inspections on commercial trucks. When inspections get skipped or equipment fails, both the trucking company and the maintenance provider can be liable. Accordingly, we pursue every responsible party.
The team that will handle your case.
You won't be passed between strangers. Instead, 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. Moreover, 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. Notably, 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. Additionally bilingual in English and Spanish. Specifically, 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. Below is 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. Importantly, there's no pressure and no fees.
Investigation + records
We collect the police report, witness statements, and every relevant medical record. Meanwhile, 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. Plus, you pay nothing unless we recover.
Compensation we fight to recover.
In fact, truck accidents cost far more than the first hospital bill suggests — and the injuries are often catastrophic and permanent. Fortunately, 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
