Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist collisions present unique legal challenges.

Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist collisions often arise from:
Distracted driving (phones, GPS, dashboard systems)
Drunk driving / DUI
Speeding on roads like Scottsdale Road, Tatum Boulevard, or Lincoln Drive
Night-time collisions near resort areas
Hit-and-run accidents where the driver flees and cannot be identified
Drivers with lapsed or insufficient insurance coverage
Intersection collisions on McDonald Drive and Paradise Valley arterial roads
Even minor collisions can sometimes lead to significant injuries or medical costs.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Arizona consistently reports thousands of collisions every year in which drivers either lack insurance or do not carry enough coverage to fully compensate injury victims. ADOT’s annual crash data shows that uninsured and underinsured motorists continue to be a substantial concern throughout Maricopa County, including areas surrounding Paradise Valley.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlights ongoing national safety risks associated with uninsured drivers and underinsured drivers, noting that crash victims often rely on uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and long-term care needs. NHTSA’s research also emphasizes increased risk in regions with dense commuter traffic, such as the corridors connecting Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and Scottsdale.
These patterns underline the importance of having sufficient UM/UIM coverage in Arizona, as many accident victims must turn to their own insurance policies for protection when the at-fault driver cannot compensate them fully.
Under Arizona law, you may have several avenues for compensation depending on your policy:
UM coverage steps in when a driver without insurance injures you or damages your vehicle.
UIM coverage applies when the at-fault driver has insurance, but the policy limits do not cover your medical expenses or property damage.
Depending on the policy and circumstances, compensation may include areas such as:
medical expenses
lost wages
pain and suffering
long-term medical care
property damage
emotional distress
You may also have additional rights if a loved one suffered fatal injuries, potentially entitling surviving family members to pursue compensation in a wrongful death claim.
You must act within the statute of limitations to protect your claim.
Insurance companies may use policy language to minimize payouts.
You have the option to seek legal representation to help evaluate the claim and protect your rights.
Our personal injury attorney and legal team provide comprehensive legal services, including:
We gather:
the police report
medical records
accident scene photographs
insurance policy documents
witness statements
evidence of medical expenses and lost wages
We handle all interaction with insurers so you are not pressured into agreeing to less favorable terms or prematurely settling your personal injury claim.
We can prepare a claim package supported by available documentation, and a clear explanation of the injuries and financial losses you experienced.
UM and UIM policies can be complex. We evaluate coverage limits, exclusions, and opportunities to pursue compensation.
If negotiation does not lead to a resolution, we may explore further legal options, including litigation when appropriate.
Accidents don’t follow business hours. Whether your collision occurred early in the morning on Tatum Boulevard or late at night near Scottsdale Road, you can reach our team anytime. We aim to respond as soon as possible, even after traditional business hours.
