General

What types of cases does AZ Law Now handle?

We handle personal injury cases across Arizona — Phoenix, Tucson, and everywhere in between. Car crashes, truck crashes, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, bicycle crashes, wrongful death, slip and fall, medical negligence, elder abuse, nursing home abuse, school bus crashes, and dog bites. Two offices: Buckeye HQ and Maricopa.

Where are your offices located?

Our headquarters is at 715 Monroe Ave, Buckeye, AZ 85326. We also have an office at 21300 N. John Wayne Pkwy, Suite 109-B, Maricopa, AZ 85139 serving Pinal County residents. Both offices are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Do you offer consultations in Spanish?

Yes. Our team provides consultations in both English and Spanish. Language shouldn't be a barrier to getting legal help after an injury.

How quickly can I schedule a consultation?

Most clients get a same-day or next-day appointment. Call (602) 654-0202 and we'll find a time that works. If you can't come to our office, we offer phone and video consultations.

Car Crashes

What should I do immediately after a car crash in Arizona?

Call 911. Get medical attention even if you feel fine. Photograph the vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries. Exchange insurance information with the other driver. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Then call us.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No. The other driver's insurance company works for them, not you. Anything you say in a recorded statement can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let us handle that conversation. It's what we do.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Arizona has a significant number of uninsured drivers. You may be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We'll review your policy and identify every source of available compensation.

Do I need a police report to file a claim?

A police report helps, but it's not required. Our investigator Brendan documents evidence independently. Police reports capture what the officer observed after arriving. Brendan captures what was there before it disappeared.

Statute of Limitations

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

Arizona gives you two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims. But claims against government entities may require a notice of claim within 180 days. Don't wait. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget. Call us as soon as possible.

What if my injury was caused by a city bus or government vehicle?

Claims against government entities in Arizona require filing a notice of claim within 180 days. That's six months, not two years. Missing this deadline can permanently destroy your right to recover compensation. Contact an attorney immediately.

Does the statute of limitations apply differently for children?

Yes. For minors injured in Arizona, the statute of limitations is typically tolled until they turn 18. But this doesn't apply to the 180-day notice requirement for government entity claims. If your child was hurt, consult an attorney right away to protect their rights.

Insurance

How do insurance companies decide what my claim is worth?

Insurance companies use formulas and algorithms to assign a value to your claim. They consider medical bills, lost wages, and a multiplier for pain and suffering. The problem is their multiplier is always lower than what's fair. Having an attorney with documented evidence changes the calculation.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement right away?

Early settlement offers are almost always lowball offers. The insurance company wants to close your claim before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Don't accept anything without talking to an attorney first. Once you sign, it's over.

Will my health insurance cover accident-related medical bills?

Your health insurance may cover treatment upfront, but they'll likely seek reimbursement from your settlement through subrogation. We negotiate with health insurers to reduce what they recover, which puts more money in your pocket.

Fees

How much does it cost to hire AZ Law Now?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. No hourly fees, no retainer, no hidden costs. If we don't win, you don't pay.

What percentage do you take from my settlement?

Contingency rates in Arizona typically run 33% to 40%, depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial. The specific rate is set in the fee agreement at the start of the representation. The full fee structure is walked through with the client before anything is signed.

Are there any hidden fees or costs?

No. We cover all case costs upfront, including investigation expenses, court filing fees, and expert witness fees. These costs are reimbursed from your settlement. If we don't recover compensation, you don't owe us for those costs either.

Process

What happens during the initial intake?

The call runs about thirty minutes. The editors listen to what happened, review any documentation on hand, identify the applicable rules, and explain the options. The conversation is with the team directly. No obligation to sign an agreement afterward.

How long does a personal injury case take?

Every case is different. Simple cases with clear liability and straightforward injuries can resolve in a few months. Complex cases involving disputed fault, severe injuries, or multiple defendants may take a year or more. We keep you updated on timeline throughout.

Will I have to go to court?

Most cases settle without going to trial. But we prepare every case as if it will. That preparation is what motivates insurance companies to offer fair settlements. If trial becomes necessary, Ron is ready to present your case to a jury.
