What to Do After a Car Accident in Phoenix

The moments after a car accident can be overwhelming and chaotic. But what you do next can have a major impact on your health, your case, and your future. If you’re involved in a crash, follow these five steps to protect yourself — and your legal rights:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
   Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may not be obvious right away. Paramedics can assess your condition and create a medical record — which is crucial for your health and your claim.
2. Call the Police
   Law enforcement will secure the scene, ensure safety, and file an official accident report. This report is often key evidence in proving liability and protecting your case.
3. Exchange Information
   Get the other driver’s name, contact info, license number, and insurance details (including policy number). Stay calm and don’t admit fault — even if you feel partially responsible.
4. Document the Scene
   Take photos of the vehicles, the road, traffic signs, injuries, and any property damage. If there are witnesses, collect their names and phone numbers.
5. Contact a Phoenix Car Accident Lawyer
   Before talking to insurance companies, speak with an experienced attorney. The team at Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers will review your case, guide you through next steps, and help protect your rights — starting with a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Car Accidents in Phoenix

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in Arizona?

If another driver is at fault, their insurance should cover your medical expenses through bodily injury liability coverage. If you’re at fault, your own health insurance (or MedPay, if you have it) may apply. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, your own uninsured motorist coverage can help cover costs. Your attorney may also help negotiate with medical providers to delay billing until your case is resolved.

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

No — not before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to say things that weaken your claim. Let your attorney handle communications to protect your rights and ensure fair treatment.

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I need a police report to file a car accident claim?

While not legally required, a police report can be a critical piece of evidence in proving fault and protecting your claim. It’s always best to call the police and ensure an official report is filed at the scene.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Arizona?

You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Arizona. However, certain factors can affect deadlines — so speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What happens if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, you can file a claim under your own policy. Our team can help you understand your options and file against any available sources of compensation.
