Personal Injury

If you have been injured due to another person's negligence, you can seek compensation for your injuries. Compensation can include: past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, loss of consortium to your spouse, and more. The Talcott Law Firm takes injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means, you do not owe anything unless there is a recovery of compensation on your behalf.

We are available 24/7. (602) 595-5222

For any personal injury case, it is important to know that there are time limits (statute of limitations) for filing a lawsuit, which starts on the date of injury. If you have a claim, it is important to contact an attorney quickly who can help so you do not forfeit your right to recovery.

When handling your case, The Talcott Law Firm will complete a thorough investigation of the accident and collect evidence such as photographs and any accident scene-related information. We will advocate for you against powerful insurance companies and attempt to obtain fair compensation prior to filing a lawsuit. If a lawsuit must be filed, we are experienced litigators who will fight for you during all stages, including discovery, mediation/settlement, arbitration and/or trial.

Guide: how long does a settlement take?

Common questions

What is my injury case worth?

It depends on your medical expenses, lost income, the permanence of your injuries, and how the injury has changed your life. Anyone who quotes a number before your treatment is understood is guessing — cases are evaluated on the records, and insurers respond to documentation.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. The Talcott Law Firm handles injury cases on a contingency fee — the fee is a percentage of the recovery, and you owe nothing unless there is a recovery on your behalf. The initial consultation is free.

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

Two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims (A.R.S. § 12-542) — but only 180 days to serve a notice of claim when a city, county, or other public entity is involved (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Evidence degrades much faster than the deadline, so it pays to act promptly.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): partial fault reduces your recovery by your percentage, it does not eliminate it. Do not accept an adjuster's fault assessment as final — shifting blame onto the injured person is how claims get devalued.

How we work

What happens after you call.

Every case is different, but the first four steps rarely are.

  1. The free consultation

    We listen to what happened, explain how fault and insurance work in plain language, and tell you what your claim realistically involves. Injury cases are contingency fee — you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.

  2. Investigation and treatment

    You focus on medical care while we gather the police report, photographs, witness statements and records — and deal with the insurance adjusters so you do not have to.

  3. The demand and negotiation

    When your treatment reaches a stable point, we document the full extent of your losses and present the claim. Most cases resolve here — for a number backed by evidence, not the first offer.

  4. Settlement or lawsuit

    If the insurer will not pay fair value, we file suit and litigate — discovery, mediation, arbitration and, when necessary, trial.

We help good people through difficult life events.
