Our Mesa car accident attorneys can help calculate the total value of your future income to ensure everyone understands the full extent of your financial loss.

Permanent Injury Care
Car, automotive, semi-truck, pedestrian, and motorcycle accident injuries sometimes require extended care. As a result, many accident victims often pay various out-of-pocket medical costs.In these situations, it is wise to consult with an AZ dog attack lawyer to account for future injury costs and ensure affordability moving forward.

Vehicle Loss
When your car is totaled, auto insurance companies are slow and hesitant to provide replacement funds. Insurance companies like to investigate the accident and delay payment if liability is an issue. Even if your vehicle is repairable, it takes considerable time and paperwork to process, pay for, and schedule auto repairs.

Pain and Suffering
For our Arizona personal injury victims, Tobin and Dove PLLC seeks general damages for pain and suffering. These non-economic damages are meant to help compensate victims for mental anguish, emotional stress, depression, physical pain, scarring, temporary and permanent limitations on activity, and diminished quality of life.

Experience the
Tobin & Dove Difference
Car insurance companies are not on your side. After an accident, you’ll be contacted by insurance agents asking for a recorded statement. They use these statements to hurt you and offer much less than your case is worth. They use recordings to dispute liability, while minimizing your losses and injuries. Your insurance company wants to minimize time and resources involved in resolving your claim. In addition, if the other driver has inadequate insurance, it can leave your insurance company responsible for compensation.

No Fee Commitment
The Arizona vehicle accident attorneys at Tobin and Dove PLLC have a no win — no fee policy: you pay nothing until you’re compensated for your losses. In other words, our experienced attorneys are paid a preset percentage of your financial recovery. With no upfront costs or retainer, which are instituted by most Arizona accident law firms, it’s easy to have skilled and experienced Queen Creek accident attorney on your side.
