Answers to common questions after a crash

Each guide starts with the short answer, then explains what can change it and links to the Arizona rules behind the legal points.

Can I File a Claim if I Did Not Have a License or Insurance in Arizona?
Possibly. Your license status, your insurance status, and who caused the crash are separate questions. Driving without required insurance can bring fines and license consequences, but it does not automatically prove that you caused the collision. Your available coverage may be narrower, however, so the facts of the crash and every potentially applicable policy need to be reviewed before anyone can give you a reliable answer.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost in Arizona?
Many Arizona personal-injury lawyers use a contingency fee: the lawyer's fee depends on a recovery instead of being billed by the hour. There is no single percentage that applies to every firm or every case. The written agreement should explain the percentage or method, whether it changes if a lawsuit or appeal is needed, which case expenses you may owe, and whether expenses are deducted before or after the fee is calculated.

What Should I Do in the First 24 Hours After a Car Accident in Arizona?
Start with safety: stop, check for injuries, call 911 when anyone may be hurt or the scene is dangerous, and provide the information and reasonable assistance Arizona law requires. If you can do so safely, photograph the vehicles and scene, collect witness information, and get the report number. Seek prompt medical evaluation for injuries or new symptoms, notify your own insurer with the basic facts, avoid guessing about fault, and save every photo, bill, receipt and message in one place.

Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Car Accident in Arizona?
The person receiving treatment is usually billed first, even when another driver caused the crash. Health insurance may process the care, and optional Medical Payments coverage on an auto policy may help with reasonable accident-related expenses up to its limit. The at-fault driver's liability insurer usually does not pay each appointment as it happens; responsibility for those losses is commonly addressed when the injury claim is resolved. Liens or reimbursement claims may then affect the final distribution.

Can I Recover Compensation if I Was Partly at Fault for a Car Accident in Arizona?
Yes, sharing fault does not automatically bar an Arizona negligence claim. Under A.R.S. § 12-2505, damages are reduced in proportion to the claimant's fault that proximately caused the injury. The statute has an important exception for a claimant who intentionally, willfully or wantonly caused or contributed to the injury. In an ordinary disputed car crash, the practical fight is over the evidence and the percentage—not an all-or-nothing label.
