What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury isn’t just about bruises or broken bones—it’s about the damage that ripples through your life after someone else’s carelessness. If you’ve been hurt because another person failed to act safely or responsibly, Arizona law gives you the right to seek compensation.
A personal injury claim is how you hold that person, business, or other entity accountable. It’s a legal action that aims to compensate you for what you’ve lost: your health, your wages, your peace of mind, and much more.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Accidents happen in thousands of different ways, but they often share one thing in common: someone didn’t take proper caution. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, Law Bear’s Scottsdale personal injury attorneys can help. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Here are just a few of them:
Car accidents
From distracted drivers on Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard to rear-end wrecks on the 101, car crashes are one of the most common causes of injury in Scottsdale. If you’re hurt in a crash, we’ll go to work securing compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and more.
Truck accidents
Semi-trucks can destroy everything in their path. When a commercial driver cuts corners on safety or a trucking company prioritizes profit over protocol, we’ll fight to hold them accountable to you.
Motorcycle accidents
Riders don’t get second chances. When someone pulls out in front of you or claims they “didn’t see you,” Law Bear stands ready to protect your rights.
Pedestrian accidents
Crosswalks don’t always mean safety. If a driver failed to yield or failed to see you because they were driving distracted, you could be entitled to significant compensation. Whether you were hit near Fashion Square or along Indian School Road, our team will fight to hold the driver fully accountable.
Bicycle accidents
Cyclists have the same rights as drivers, but not every motorist sees it that way. If you were hit while riding, we’ll help hold the driver accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve. We’ve represented injured riders on the Greenbelt path, through Old Town, and in traffic-heavy zones across Scottsdale.
Uber & rideshare accidents
Whether you were the passenger, driver, or third party, if you were injured in a rideshare accident, we’ll help untangle the messy insurance situation and get your case moving.
Slip and fall accidents
A cracked sidewalk, wet grocery store aisle, or uneven staircase can land you in the ER. If property owners failed to fix a known hazard, they may owe you damages.
Construction accidents
From electrocution to falls from heights, job site accidents can be life-altering. We help workers and families recover compensation when safety rules are ignored.
Dog bites
If someone’s pet attacked you, Arizona law may hold the owner strictly liable. We can help you recover damages for medical treatment, scarring, trauma, and more.
Wrongful death
The emotional trauma of losing a loved one cannot be overstated and should never be undervalued. Let Law Bear’s experienced Scottsdale personal injury lawyers pursue justice and financial support on your behalf while you focus on healing.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Claim?
You may likely have a viable personal injury claim if someone else’s negligence led to your injuries. Most personal injury claims revolve around negligence, the legal term for an entity’s (such as a person, company, or organization) failure to exercise reasonable care.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, your lawyer must establish the following:
- Duty of care – The other party had a responsibility to act safely (e.g., a driver must follow traffic laws).
- Breach of duty – They didn’t uphold that responsibility.
- Causation – Their actions (or inaction) directly caused your injury.
- Damages – You suffered losses as a result (medical bills, lost income, pain, etc.)
We’ll help you gather evidence, build your case, and push back hard when insurers try to downplay your suffering.
Common Injuries Associated With Personal Injury Claims
When you’re hurt, it’s not just about pain—it’s about what that pain keeps you from doing and how much it’s costing you, both now and potentially for years to come. Whether you’re sidelined for a week or a lifetime, injuries change everything.
Some of the injuries we often see in Scottsdale personal injury cases include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Even a “mild” concussion can lead to cognitive issues, memory loss, and emotional changes. Severe TBIs often require lifelong care.
- Spinal cord injuries – From herniated discs to paralysis, back injuries can disrupt every part of your life.
- Broken bones – A broken arm or leg might sound relatively minor, until it keeps you from working or driving for months.
- Burns and lacerations – Severe burns can leave lasting scars and psychological trauma.
- Soft tissue injuries – Whiplash and torn ligaments may not show up on an X-ray but can take months of treatment.
- Internal injuries – Blunt-force trauma can cause damage to organs, which is often life-threatening and hard to detect right away.
- Psychological trauma – PTSD, depression, and anxiety are just as real and just as devastating as physical wounds.
No matter the type of injury, if someone else caused it, you have the right to demand compensation. And we’ll help you fight for it.
What Compensation Is Available to Personal Injury Victims?
A successful personal injury claim can help you recover financial compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. In Arizona, victims can pursue both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages
These damages reimburse you for the financial losses caused by the accident, such as:
- Medical expenses, including hospital stays, surgeries, rehab, and future care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket costs for transportation, medical devices, and home modifications
Non-economic damages
The damages account for the harder-to-quantify effects of an injury on your life, such as:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
In tragic cases involving fatalities, families may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim to recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the emotional impact of losing a loved one.
Punitive damages are possible in rare cases where the at-fault party’s behavior was especially reckless and harmful. If the defendant acted with extreme indifference to the safety of others, the court may award the claimant punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.
At Law Bear, we fight for every dollar you deserve—nothing less.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront—and nothing at all unless we win. It’s a system designed to ensure that anyone, regardless of income, can access high-quality legal representation.
Is there a deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Scottsdale?
Yes. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases give you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to compensation. There are exceptions, so contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona follows the rule of pure comparative negligence, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your level of fault.
How much do most personal injury cases settle for?
Settlement amounts vary widely based on the severity of your injuries, how clear the liability is, your medical expenses, and the impact on your daily life. While minor injury cases might settle for thousands, serious cases can reach six or seven figures.
We don’t guess—we build your case on facts, evidence, and input from leading experts to maximize your recovery.
How hard is it to win a personal injury case?
With the right legal team, it’s not about “easy” or “hard”—it’s about being prepared. Success comes down to thorough investigation, strong documentation, credible witnesses, and skilled negotiation. That’s where our team shines.
What’s the most common type of personal injury claim?
Car accidents are the most frequently filed personal injury claims nationwide. In Scottsdale, crashes at busy intersections and freeway interchanges are a regular source of injuries.
How can I increase the value of my settlement?
You can improve your case value by:
- Getting medical treatment right away and following your doctor’s orders
- Keeping records of your injuries, expenses, and recovery process
- Avoiding social media posts that could be used against you
- Calling a lawyer early so we can start protecting your rights from day one
