Crashes in Queen Creek
Queen Creek sits in two counties, and ADOT reports the town in two rows. In 2024, the Maricopa County part of Queen Creek had 533 crashes, including 158 injury crashes, with 224 people injured and 10 alcohol-related crashes. The Pinal County part had 46 crashes, including 11 injury crashes, with 15 people injured and 1 alcohol-related crash. Together that is 579 crashes and 239 people injured. ADOT reported no fatal crashes in Queen Creek in 2024 (ADOT, 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5). On the Maricopa County side, crashes rose 16.6% from 457 in 2023 (ADOT, 2023 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5). See how Queen Creek compares with other Valley cities in our Phoenix-area crash statistics.
Most crashes happen on the main roads and at their signals: Ellsworth Road, Rittenhouse Road, Ocotillo Road, Queen Creek Road, Riggs Road, Germann Road and Signal Butte Road. New neighborhoods, schools and shopping centers mean more drivers, more teen drivers and more people walking and biking on roads that were built for far less traffic.
Cases we handle for Queen Creek residents
Car accidents
Most of our cases are car crashes: left turns at busy signals, red-light crashes, and rear-end hits in commuter traffic. Statewide in 2024, rear-end crashes were the most common type of multi-vehicle crash: 38,654 crashes, or 37.51%, including 12,221 injury crashes. Arizona also had 16,866 left-turn crashes, and 127 were fatal (ADOT, Table 3-1). Arizona generally requires most auto policies to carry at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per crash for injuries (A.R.S. § 28-4009), and a hospital stay can go far past that. We look for every policy that may cover you. Learn how we handle car accident claims.
Motorcycle and truck accidents
Drivers who turn left in front of a motorcycle often say they "never saw" the rider. We push back on that, and on insurers who blame riders by default. Truck cases, including construction and delivery trucks, can involve a company and more than one insurer. See motorcycle accident cases and truck accident cases.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
If a driver hit you while you were walking or riding, you may have a claim against the driver and, in some cases, your own auto policy, even if you weren't in a car. See pedestrian accident claims and bicycle accident claims.
Hit-and-run and uninsured drivers
About 10.6% of Arizona drivers were uninsured in 2023, according to the Insurance Research Council (via the Insurance Information Institute). If the driver who hit you had no insurance or drove away, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay for your injuries. See hit-and-run accidents and uninsured and underinsured motorist claims.
Wrongful death
If you lost someone in a crash caused by someone else's wrongful act or neglect, Arizona law (A.R.S. §§ 12-611 to 12-613) may allow a wrongful death claim for damages on behalf of surviving parties who are entitled to recover. Learn about wrongful death claims.
If you're in the hospital
The Arizona Department of Health Services trauma center list (December 2025 edition) includes Level I trauma centers in Mesa and Chandler: Banner Desert Medical Center and Chandler Regional Medical Center. Closer to Queen Creek, Banner Gateway Medical Center in Gilbert and Banner Ironwood Medical Center in San Tan Valley are on the same list as Level IV trauma centers. You don't have to leave your bed to talk to us. We can come to you at the hospital or at home, or talk by phone or video.
How we handle Queen Creek injury cases
We move from day one. We get the crash report, look for video from nearby businesses and home cameras before it's erased, talk to witnesses, and hire crash reconstructionists and other outside professionals when a case needs them. We deal with the insurance company, so you don't have to take their calls.
Here's our track record. Kent Law recovers millions of dollars for injured clients every year, and we have handled thousands of injury cases. We handle negotiated settlements, mediation, arbitration and trial. We take on denied and stalled claims, including cases already at the litigation stage. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Adam C. Kent founded Kent Law in 2011. He has practiced in Arizona since 2006 and started his career as a prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Jonathan Henry, our Managing Attorney, brings extensive trial experience to cases that need to go before a jury.
Crash reports, court and deadlines
The Queen Creek Police Department has been the town's police force since January 2022, on both the Maricopa County and Pinal County sides of town. Request QCPD reports online through the town's GovQA records portal, linked from the police department's public records page. The records line is 480-358-3535, option 2, Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Some neighborhoods with Queen Creek mailing addresses are outside town limits; crashes there are usually handled by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office or the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Arizona DPS reports are requested through the DPS Public Services Portal (psp.azdps.gov). Once you hire us, we request the report for you.
Because Queen Creek spans two counties, a Queen Creek injury lawsuit may be filed in Maricopa County Superior Court or in Pinal County Superior Court, depending on the facts of the case. We figure out where your case belongs.
Deadlines matter. In Arizona, most injury lawsuits must generally be filed within 2 years (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against the government move faster. If a public entity or public employee caused your crash, such as a town vehicle, you generally must file a notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). The lawsuit itself generally must be filed within 1 year (A.R.S. § 12-821). Call us early so we can protect your claim. Read more about the Arizona personal injury statute of limitations.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Queen Creek?
No. We serve Queen Creek clients from our Phoenix office at 4001 E. Mountain Sky Ave., Ste. 105, Phoenix, AZ 85044. We usually meet at our office. If you can't get here, we can come to you at the hospital or at home, or meet by phone or video.
What should I do after a crash in Queen Creek?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt and get medical care the same day, even if you feel okay. Get the report number from the officer or deputy at the scene. Take photos of the cars, the scene and your injuries, and get witness names and phone numbers. Then call Kent Law at (480) 359-KENT before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company.
How do I get a Queen Creek police crash report?
Since January 2022, the Queen Creek Police Department has been the town's police force, on both the Maricopa County and Pinal County sides of town. Request QCPD reports online through the town's GovQA records portal, linked from the police department's public records page. For questions, the records line is 480-358-3535, option 2, Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Some neighborhoods with Queen Creek mailing addresses are outside town limits, and crashes there are usually handled by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office or the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Once you hire us, we request the report for you.
The driver who hit me had no insurance. Can I still get help?
Often, yes. If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy, it may pay for your injuries. Arizona insurers generally must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in writing, and the named insured can decline it (A.R.S. § 20-259.01). We look at every policy that may apply, including policies in your household.
How long do I have to file an injury claim?
Most Arizona injury lawsuits must generally be filed within 2 years (A.R.S. § 12-542). If a town vehicle or another public employee on the job caused your crash, you generally must file a notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and file the lawsuit within 1 year (A.R.S. § 12-821). Call us early so we can protect your claim. Read more about the Arizona personal injury statute of limitations.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still have a claim. Under Arizona's pure comparative fault law, your damages are generally reduced by your share of fault, not wiped out (A.R.S. § 12-2505). There are exceptions, so talk to us about your facts. Read more about Arizona comparative fault.
What does it cost to hire Kent Law?
We work on a contingency fee. No fee unless we win. We explain the written fee agreement before you sign.
Can I talk to someone in Spanish?
Yes. We have Spanish-speaking staff, and interpretation is always available. Se habla español.
