30 Seconds. No Spam. No Obligation
What happened?
From the first call to the final settlement.
How long do you have? Most Arizona injury lawsuits must be filed within two years, and medical treatment often takes up much of that time.
01
A confidential case review
An attorney hears what happened and reviews your injuries and coverage. If we don't believe the case is worth pursuing, we tell you on that call.
02
The evidence, assembled early
Insurers value a claim by what is documented. Our team gathers the police report, medical records and bills before any demand is made.
03
Your decision at every offer
Each offer reaches you with our assessment of it. You may accept, or we keep negotiating and file suit when an insurer won't move.
Common injury cases
we handle.
Rideshare crashes and wrongful death claims don't have a card below. They're on the full list, with a page for each kind of case.
Direct access to Sam
Every client receives Sam's personal cell number when the case begins.
Serious injuries call
for serious counsel.
Case costs are on us if we lose
What if the case ends without a recovery? Then the costs of pursuing it, from filing fees to records, are never passed on to you.
Medical liens, negotiated down
Hospitals can claim part of a settlement through a lien. In one trucking case, Sam got a client's liens cut by 99%, so that money stayed with the client.
No fee on your vehicle damage claim
Our team also takes the repair or total loss claim to the insurer, so you aren't haggling over the car's value while you recover.
Meetings by phone or video
Most of a case can be handled remotely, so a client in Show Low or Tucson needn't spend a day on the road.

Questions injury clients ask before retaining us
If yours isn't here, call 480-440-3331 and ask an attorney directly.
How is Saks Law connected to Guidant Law?
Saks Law works in association with Guidant Law, PLC, the Arizona firm where Sam Saks is a partner. Your case has that firm's staff and office behind it.
Who will handle my case?
Sam Saks leads every injury case we take, supported by our paralegals and staff. You won't be routed to a call center.
Will my insurance rates go up if the other driver caused the crash?
No. Under A.R.S. § 20-263, an insurer can't raise your premium over a crash you didn't cause or significantly contribute to, and any increase must come with the reason.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Usually, yes. Arizona follows pure comparative fault, so your share of the blame reduces the recovery without defeating the claim.
The other driver's insurer wants a recorded statement. Should I give one?
You aren't required to. Note the claim number and the adjuster's name, then call us before you discuss the crash or your injuries.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
Your own uninsured motorist coverage can respond, if your policy includes it. Arizona requires written notice to your insurer within 3 years, and we can review the policy with you.
How long will my case take?
Most claims can't settle until treatment ends and the medical bills are known, so the timeline follows your recovery. Your attorney gives you an estimate once we've reviewed the records.
Speak with an injury lawyer before you speak with the insurer.
The case review is free and confidential, and you decide afterward whether to retain us.
Call weekdays from 8:30am to 5pm, or send the form at any hour.
