How Much Is My Car Accident Case Worth?
Your claim’s value will depend on the severity of your injuries and other damages. Victims with catastrophic injuries typically have higher medical bills and long-term impacts on their lives. Accordingly, these cases often result in higher compensation than accidents that result in only minor injuries. That said, do not underestimate the value of your claim before having your injuries evaluated by a doctor and consulting with an attorney.
Car accident victims can claim compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages compensate for financial losses caused by the crash, while non-economic damages compensate for the intangible harms a victim suffers. You may also be awarded punitive damages if the defendant was particularly irresponsible in your case.

Liability in Phoenix Car Crashes
Arizona is an “at-fault” state, which means the person at fault for a car accident can be held liable for damages sustained in the crash. Injured parties have the right to take legal action against the at-fault driver and claim compensation without having to exhaust no-fault insurance coverage first.
However, victims must normally prove that the defendant was negligent to recover damages. Our car accident lawyers in Phoenix can gather evidence to establish the four elements of negligence:
- Duty – All drivers must operate their motor vehicle safely and follow the rules of the road. They must take reasonable care to avoid putting other road users at risk.
- Breach of duty – Plaintiffs must prove a breach of duty to recover damages. A breach could involve speeding, not yielding the right of way, texting while driving, and much more.
- Causation – You must show the driver’s breach of duty directly caused the car accident and your injuries.
- Damages – Lastly, you need to prove that you suffered compensable damages as a result of the crash, such as medical expenses, lost income, pain, and suffering.
Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state. This means you can claim compensation even if you’re partially responsible for the car accident. However, the amount awarded for your damages will be reduced proportionately to your percentage of fault.
Benefits of Hiring Feller & Wendt, LLC™ As Your Attorneys
We know how a car accident can completely upend your life. When you choose our legal team, we will handle all the details so you can focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life.
Sadly, when car accident victims are most vulnerable, insurance companies often lowball their offers while making it seem like they’re doing you a favor. Our Phoenix car accident lawyers understand these tactics and will fight for the full value of your claim. We have the experience needed to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
We also have the resources to handle even the most complex car accident lawsuits. We will help you navigate the legal nuances of the claims process and stand by your side every step of the way.
While most of our cases are resolved through negotiation, our in-depth trial experience means you will have a highly qualified team fighting for your best interests in court. We prepare our cases extensively before going to trial. Among other things, we run multiple focus groups to evaluate how juries may respond to your evidence and arguments.
Our “No Win, No Fee” Guarantee
This guarantee means that you will pay nothing upfront for our services. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, our fees are calculated as a pre-negotiated percentage of the compensation we secure on your behalf. If we win nothing, you owe us nothing. We also offer free consultations to explain your rights and recommend a path forward at no cost to you.
Our Attorneys Can Help You File on Time
The personal injury statute of limitations in Arizona normally gives plaintiffs two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit seeking compensation. Subject to very few exceptions, you will lose your right to take legal action if you miss the deadline.
To ensure your case is filed on time, consult our car accident lawyers in Phoenix as soon as possible. If you choose to work with us, we will immediately start preserving crucial evidence and building your case before time runs out.
We Have Handled All Kinds of Auto Accident Cases
Our attorneys have handled countless car accident cases, helping our clients secure meaningful compensation for their injuries and suffering. Even if you are partly at fault for the crash, we will strive to reach the best possible outcome for your case. We have experience handling all kinds of auto accidents, including:
- Speeding accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bus accidents

Personal injury law is a diverse practice area. No matter the circumstances, our Phoenix personal injury lawyers can help. Other case types we handle include bicycle accidents, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), burn injuries, spinal cord injuries (SCIs), and wrongful death.
“Rear-end collisions are one of the most common collisions that we see come through our door. Why is that? We believe it's because people are more distracted than ever. Folks are looking at their cell phones, looking at their navigation systems, they might be checking in the back seat to check on kids and see what's going on, all the while in front of them traffic's slowing down or traffic's stopping. Our roads are getting busier and busier, they're becoming more congested and couple that with all these distractions and it's just inevitable we're going to have and we are seeing more and more rear-end collisions.”
