Question 1

How much does it cost to hire Saguaro Injury Law?

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don't get paid unless we recover compensation for you. Our standard contingency fee is 33⅓% of the recovery for cases settled before litigation, and 40% for cases that proceed to litigation. Case-related expenses (medical record retrieval, expert witnesses, court filing fees) are advanced by our firm and only deducted from your recovery if we win. The initial consultation is always free.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

Arizona's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. For workers' compensation claims, it's one year. For claims against a government entity (city, county, state), you must file a notice of claim within 180 days. These deadlines are strict — missing them can permanently bar your case. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the more time we have to investigate and build your case.

Question 3

What if I can't afford medical treatment right now?

Accepted Answer

Many clients don't have health insurance or can't afford their copays after an accident. We work with a network of medical providers across the Phoenix metro who treat personal injury patients on a lien basis — meaning they wait to be paid out of your settlement. We can connect you with chiropractors, orthopedic specialists, MRI imaging centers, and physical therapists who will treat you without requiring upfront payment.

Question 4

How long will my case take to resolve?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the insurance company is willing to settle fairly. Simple cases can resolve in 4-8 months. More complex cases involving significant injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take 12-24 months or longer. We push for the fastest possible resolution while ensuring we recover the full value of your case.

Question 5

Do I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Most personal injury cases settle without ever going to trial. We aggressively negotiate with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. Our willingness to litigate is one reason insurance companies take our demands seriously.

Question 6

What if the accident was partially my fault?

Accepted Answer

Arizona follows a 'pure comparative fault' rule. This means even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation — your recovery is just reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you can still recover $80,000. Don't assume you don't have a case just because you think you might share blame. Let us evaluate your case for free.

Question 7

What if the at-fault driver doesn't have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 1 in 8 Arizona drivers is uninsured. If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own auto insurance policy's uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. These coverages are required to be offered in Arizona, though they can be rejected in writing. We'll review your policy and identify every source of available coverage.
