Personal Injury Lawyer in Gilbert
Gilbert Injury Cases Handled by Attorney Adam C. Kent on a No-Win, No-Fee Basis
At Kent Law PLC, we represent personal injury clients in Gilbert and throughout the East Valley. Attorney Adam C. Kent is personally involved in each case, which means you work directly with the attorney handling your claim rather than being passed to support staff. We take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis: you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are free and carry no obligation.
Gilbert sits at the convergence of the Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and U.S. 60 (Superstition Freeway), two of Maricopa County’s busiest corridors. High traffic volume on these routes contributes to collision frequency, and when serious accidents happen, injured residents need to move quickly. Arizona’s statute of limitations gives most personal injury claimants two years from the date of injury to file suit, and certain claims involving government entities require a formal notice within 180 days. Speaking with an injury attorney early can help protect your options.

How We Investigate & Build Your Injury Claim
From the first contact, we begin gathering the facts needed to support your case. We obtain police reports, review medical records, and consult with treating providers to understand the full picture of what happened and how your injuries have affected your life. For accidents on high-volume routes like the Loop 202, we examine road conditions, traffic patterns, and available camera footage to reconstruct the incident accurately.
Throughout the case, we work with you to document ongoing treatment, time missed from work, and changes to daily activities. That documentation lets us clearly explain your losses to insurance adjusters during negotiation or, when necessary, to a judge or jury in Maricopa County Superior Court. Building a record of both immediate and long-term effects can put you in a stronger position to pursue fair compensation.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Gilbert
Personal injury claims arise from a wide range of circumstances. We handle the following case types for Gilbert residents:
- Car Accidents: Collisions on the Loop 202, U.S. 60, and local intersections can cause serious, lasting injuries.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: When unsafe property conditions cause a fall, the property owner may bear liability under premises liability law.
- Workplace Accidents: On-the-job injuries can involve workers’ compensation claims and, in some cases, third-party liability claims.
- Medical Malpractice: Substandard care by a provider that causes harm may support a claim for compensation.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Riders in the East Valley face elevated injury risk in collisions and deserve full representation of their losses.
- Dog Bites: Arizona imposes strict liability on dog owners in many circumstances, making these claims more straightforward to pursue.
- Wrongful Death: When a loved one dies due to another party’s negligence, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim. Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death runs from the date of death under A.R.S. § 12-542.
Arizona Personal Injury Law: Key Rules Gilbert Residents Should Know
Arizona’s personal injury framework includes several rules that directly affect what you can recover and how long you have to act.
Pure Comparative Fault
Under A.R.S. § 12-2505, Arizona follows a pure comparative fault rule. If you share some responsibility for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. The statute does, however, eliminate the right to comparative negligence for claimants who intentionally, willfully, or wantonly caused or contributed to their injury. Insurance adjusters often try to inflate the claimant’s share of fault to reduce what they pay. Having our attorneys document and present your version of events accurately can make a meaningful difference.
Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury claims against private parties must be filed within two years of the injury date under A.R.S. § 12-542. If an injury wasn’t immediately apparent, the discovery rule may adjust when that clock begins. Negotiating with an insurance company doesn’t pause the limitations period. Only filing a lawsuit in court preserves your right to sue.
Government Entity Claims
If your injury involves a government entity or employee, A.R.S. § 12-821.01 requires a formal notice of claim within 180 days of the injury, and the lawsuit window narrows to one year. Missing the notice deadline may forfeit the claim entirely.
