Every day in Phoenix, roughly 102 traffic crashes happen — one every 14 minutes. In 2024 alone, the Arizona Department of Transportation documented 37,472 crashes inside Phoenix city limits, 265 of them fatal and 10,449 resulting in injuries. Add construction-site incidents, slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, and other preventable harm, and the scope of personal injury in the Valley becomes staggering.
If you or someone you love has been hurt because of another person’s negligence, you deserve an advocate who understands Arizona injury law. At Leon Law, PLLC, founding attorney Jose M. Leon and his team have spent 14+ years standing up for injured people throughout Phoenix and Maricopa County.

Personal injury law allows someone who has been harmed by another party’s careless, reckless, or intentional conduct to pursue financial recovery. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system under A.R.S. § 12-2505, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some fault for the accident — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
The statute of limitations under A.R.S. § 12-542 gives most injury victims two years from the date of the accident (or the date of death in a wrongful death case) to file a lawsuit. Fail to act within that window and you risk losing your right to compensation entirely. Claims against a government entity — a city bus, a state highway defect, a municipal building hazard — require written notice within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, making prompt legal counsel critical.
Leon Law helps clients navigate these deadlines, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and take cases to trial when necessary.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer at Leon Law?
Nothing upfront. We handle every case on a contingency-fee basis — you pay no attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you through a settlement or court award. Your initial case review is always free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Arizona?
Under A.R.S. § 12-542, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Claims against government entities require a notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505). You can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your total award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, how much income you have lost, the degree of pain and suffering, and the strength of the evidence against the at-fault party. We evaluate each case individually during your free consultation.
Should I talk to the insurance company before calling a lawyer?
We strongly recommend speaking with an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Anything you say — especially recorded statements — can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let us handle communications with the insurer on your behalf.
What types of cases does Leon Law handle?
We represent victims of car accidents, motorcycle wrecks, trucking collisions, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, wrongful death, construction accidents, dog bites, slip-and-fall injuries, rideshare accidents, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, nursing home abuse, and workers’ compensation-related injuries throughout Phoenix and Maricopa County.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
Timelines vary. A straightforward claim with clear liability may settle within a few months. Complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed fault, or multiple defendants can take a year or more. We aim to resolve your case efficiently without sacrificing the compensation you deserve.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate for you before a judge and jury.
You have enough to worry about after an injury. Let Leon Law handle the legal fight. With 14+ years of experience, an Avvo rating of 9.5, recognition by Super Lawyers, and a deep commitment to the Phoenix community, Jose Leon and his team are ready to pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.
