Trucks aren’t the only danger on Phoenix roads. Many serious crashes involve delivery trucks, box trucks, work vans, construction vehicles, or fleet vehicles on I-10, I-17, and city streets.
We handle both big-rig and commercial-vehicle cases and gather the same critical evidence:
If you were hit by a semi, UPS/FedEx truck, Amazon van, or any company vehicle, we can help.
Here are the steps that protect your health and your legal claim:
For a deeper overview of your legal rights after a crash, see our guide to Arizona accident laws, reporting rules, and fault. If you were hurt while riding with someone else, our Phoenix injured passenger guide explains how claims work when you weren’t the driver.
Commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When something goes wrong, injuries are often severe and evidence disappears fast.
Truck cases are more complex because they involve:
We move immediately to preserve everything needed to prove fault. To understand how fault is proven under state law, review our overview of Arizona negligence laws and liability rules in injury cases.
Phoenix sees some of the highest commercial-vehicle crash rates in Arizona because heavy truck traffic mixes with dense urban interchanges. Some of the most dangerous areas include:
Many of the worst commercial crashes occur near the Stack and the Mini-Stack during peak traffic hours, where freeway systems and arterial roads converge.
Our Phoenix truck accident attorneys are renowned for their unwavering dedication, extensive experience, and a proven track record of securing favorable outcomes for our clients.
Arizona consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of serious large-truck and commercial vehicle crashes. Data from state and federal agencies shows:
• Thousands of large-truck crashes occur in Arizona each year.
• More than 100 of those crashes result in fatalities statewide.
• When delivery vans, box trucks, and work vehicles are included, total commercial-vehicle crashes reach into the tens of thousands annually.
• The Phoenix metro area sees a disproportionate share due to I-10, I-17, and heavy urban freight traffic.
These numbers highlight how dangerous commercial traffic can be in the Phoenix area — and why fast action to preserve evidence is critical after a crash.

Truck and commercial vehicle claims involve:
Phoenix roadways like I-10, I-17, US-60, 7th Street, Camelback, and Indian School also see higher commercial traffic, making local knowledge important.
Liability may include:
Truck crashes often involve more than one at-fault party, which increases available insurance coverage.
Arizona’s statute of limitations is generally:
Waiting too long can permanently bar your case.
Evidence like black-box data and dashcam footage can disappear in days, so acting quickly is essential.
The first 48 hours are critical for preserving electronic evidence
Simple cases may settle in a few months.
Cases with serious injuries or disputed liability may take 12–24 months, especially if litigation is required.
Truck companies often delay or deny claims, making early legal involvement important.
No.
Initial offers are almost always low because the insurer hopes you’ll accept before learning the true value of your case or completing medical treatment.
A lawyer can calculate full damages and negotiate for the real value.
Some of the most important evidence includes:
Trucking companies may legally destroy some records in as little as 7 days, making early action critical.
Truck crashes often cause:
These injuries often require long-term care, which is why settlement values are typically higher.
Yes.
Arizona uses comparative negligence, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover money even if you were partly responsible.
Most truck accident claims settle without a trial.
However, trucking companies sometimes refuse a fair settlement, especially in high-value cases.
We prepare every case from the start as if it may need to go to court—this strengthens your negotiating position.
We work on a contingency fee, which means:
Yes. Even when the trucking company has large commercial policies, your own coverage can still help. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) protection, governed by Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-555, may apply if the commercial insurance is not enough, and your Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage under Arizona law can help cover early medical bills regardless of fault. In many cases, we use multiple layers of insurance to maximize your recovery.
