Phoenix Personal Injury Lawyer

A Phoenix personal injury firm built for trial.

Phoenix and the surrounding Maricopa County make up by far the largest and busiest traffic area in Arizona. Maricopa County recorded roughly 88,094 crashes and 560 traffic fatalities in 2024, and the City of Phoenix alone saw 265 deaths. The Valley's wide, high-speed freeways, rapid growth, and rising pedestrian and bicycle crash numbers — both at a five-year high statewide — make serious collisions a daily reality. Silver Key Law represents injured people across the area, and we prepare every case as if a jury will decide it.

We are licensed in Arizona and serve clients in the area by phone, video, and appointment. You pay no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we win.

Why Phoenix's roads are dangerous

The Valley's freeway system moves enormous volumes of traffic at high speed, and that is where many of the most serious crashes happen:

• Interstate 10 — including the stretch through the West Valley between Loop 303 and the Hassayampa River, which logged 847 reportable crashes in 2024.
• Interstate 17 — the north-south spine through the city.
• Loop 101 and Loop 202 — high-speed beltways ringing the metro.
• US-60 (Superstition Freeway) — a heavily traveled East Valley corridor.
• Major surface arterials like Grand Avenue, where intersection and pedestrian crashes are common.

How we help injured people here

We investigate quickly, preserve the evidence, document your injuries and losses, and handle the insurance companies. We take the full range of serious injury cases across the Valley:

• Car accidents on Phoenix freeways and surface streets
• Truck and 18-wheeler collisions — Maricopa County sees roughly 40% of Arizona's commercial-vehicle crashes
• Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
• Premises liability and slip-and-fall
• Catastrophic injuries
• Wrongful death

Where injury cases here are filed

Most personal injury lawsuits here are filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court. Smaller cases may proceed in justice court, and certain matters — including some trucking cases involving out-of-state companies — may be heard in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. We handle the procedural details for you.

Arizona injury law in brief

Arizona law shapes every Phoenix injury case. Arizona follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means an injured person can recover even if they were partly at fault, with their recovery reduced by their percentage of responsibility. The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury, and claims against government entities require a formal notice of claim within just 180 days. Because these deadlines are strict and evidence disappears quickly, it is important to talk to a lawyer promptly. This is general information, not legal advice about your specific situation.
