When You’ve Been Hurt, We’re Here to Help.
What our Personal Injury Team Can Do for You
-
Case Evaluation
We evaluate your case and determine liability. We investigate what happened, gather evidence (accident reports, medical records, witness statements), and determine who is at fault.
-
Calculate Your Damages
We accurately calculate your damages. Beyond immediate medical costs, we consider ongoing care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses, so you fight for all you deserve
-
Negotiate
We negotiate with insurers or liable parties. Insurers often try to minimize payouts. We use our experience to push back and demand fair compensation, whether by settlement or, if necessary, by going to trial. We advocate aggressively in court if needed, representing your rights at every stage of the process, so you don’t have to face legal battles alone.
-
File a Lawsuit
If negotiations fail, we will proceed with filing a lawsuit on your behalf. Our firm handles all of the paperwork, filings, deadlines, and legal procedures. Arizona law can be complex. We make sure your claim or lawsuit is filed correctly and on time.
Why Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer Matters Instead of Representing Yourself
We know the law and the system. Personal injury law involves complex legal rules, evidence requirements, and procedural deadlines. Mistakes can cost you your right to recover.
The insurance companies are not on your team. Their goal is to pay as little as possible. Without a lawyer, you may not understand how to document your claim fully, negotiate effectively, or stand up to pressure.
You’ll likely recover more with an experienced attorney. Attorneys know what your claim is really worth. Many claims involve more than just medical bills, and more than many individuals realize.
You don’t carry the burden alone. You focus on recovery. We handle everything else -evidence gathering, negotiations, legal filings - while protecting your interests and advocating for what you deserve.
Why You Should Let an Attorney Handle Insurance Company Contact
After an injury, insurance adjusters may call quickly. They might appear helpful, but often, their job is to protect their company’s bottom line, not your recovery.
Statements you make can be used against you. Even well-meaning comments about how you feel or what happened can be twisted to minimize liability or damages.
Insurance companies are skilled negotiators. They may try to get you to accept a lowball settlement early, before you know the full cost of your injuries or future care.
An attorney shields you from unfair practices. We know how insurers operate and can handle all communications, push back on lowball offers, document your injuries properly, and negotiate for fair value.
Let us be your buffer to preserve your rights while working for the best possible outcome while you focus on your care and getting better.
Understanding Contingency Fees — You Don’t Need Lots of Money to Get Help
At Wilkie Puchi LLP, we offer representation on a contingency fee basis. That means:
No upfront attorney fees. You don’t pay unless we win your case.
We only get paid if you get paid. If there is a settlement or verdict in your favor, our fee is a percentage of that recovery. If there’s no recovery, you owe us nothing.
Accessible to everyone. You don’t need to have money now to hire an attorney. This fee structure allows people facing financial hardship to pursue a valid claim without upfront expense.
Because our payment depends on the outcome, we’re motivated to work hard for your best possible result.

FAQs
-
If you can, try to take these steps:
Get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay or are not in pain. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away.
Call the police so there is an official accident report.
Take photos of the accident scene, vehicles, injuries, and anything else relevant.
Collect contact information from witnesses.
Do NOT speak to the insurance company until you talk to an attorney.
Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved.
Your health and your rights come first — let us handle the rest.
-
Most people benefit greatly from having a lawyer, especially when:
The injuries are serious or require ongoing treatment
The insurance company is pushing a low settlement
Accident liability is disputed
You’re unsure how to calculate what your case is actually worth
You’re overwhelmed by medical bills and insurance paperwork
Insurance companies have professional adjusters, lawyers, and trained negotiators on their side. You should have someone fighting just as hard for you.
-
We work on a contingency fee basis:
You pay nothing upfront.
We only get paid if we win money for you.
If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing in attorney’s fees.
This allows every injured person — regardless of financial situation — to pursue justice without worrying about legal bills.
-
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
However:
Claims involving government entities may have shorter deadlines
Some claims require early notices
Certain injuries may involve exceptions
If you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover anything. Contact us early so we can protect your claim.
-
Every case is different, but compensation may include:
Medical bills (past and future)
Lost wages
Reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent injuries or disability
Damage to your vehicle
Loss of enjoyment of life
We take the time to calculate your true, full damages, not just what the insurance company wants to pay.
-
Do not accept it until speaking with an attorney.
Early offers are usually:
Lower than the true value of your claim
Designed to close your case before injuries fully develop
A tactic to avoid paying long-term damages
Once you sign a release, you cannot reopen your claim — even if your injuries worsen.
-
Arizona follows comparative negligence, which means:
Even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover compensation — the amount is just reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you were 20% at fault in the accident, but had $50,000 in damages, you may still recover $40,000.
Don’t assume you can’t bring a claim. Let us evaluate the facts.
-
No. Not before speaking to an attorney that has your interests in mind.
Insurance adjusters may:
Try to get you to admit something that hurts your case
Minimize your injuries
Use your statements against you later
Push you into a quick, undervalued settlement
We handle all communications for you so you don’t risk harming your claim.
-
That’s okay.
We can help you:
Access medical providers who accept liens (they get paid later from the settlement)
Find doctors who understand injury cases
Prevent collections from disrupting your recovery
No one should avoid medical treatment because of financial worries.
-
It depends on:
The severity of your injuries
How long treatment lasts
Whether the insurance company negotiates fairly
Whether a lawsuit is required
Some cases settle in a few months. Others — especially those involving major injuries — may take longer. We keep you updated every step of the way while you heal.
-
Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial.
But if the insurance company refuses to be fair, we will discuss filing a lawsuit and fighting for you in court. You are always in control of the major decisions — we simply provide guidance and advocacy.
-
We represent injured Arizonans in:
Car accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Truck accidents
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Slip and falls
Dangerous property conditions
Wrongful death
Dog bites
Other negligence-based injuries
If you’re unsure whether your case qualifies, ask — your consultation is free.
