When you're dealing with the aftermath of a car accident in Arizona, you don't want a 1-800 number and a case manager you've never met.

You want an attorney who knows this community, who's built their career here, and who will actually be there when you call.

Gravis Law's Scottsdale, Arizona, personal injury team is local. They know the roads, the insurance landscape, and the courts. When you work with us, you work directly with your attorney. Not a paralegal. Not a rotating door of staff. 

That's the difference between a firm that just processes cases and a team that handles yours.

Helping People in Arizona in a Range of Accidents

Car Accident Injuries

The most common cases we handle. Rear-end collisions on the 101. T-bone accidents at Scottsdale Road and Shea. These aren't abstract scenarios. Scottsdale's growth has put more cars on roads that weren't designed for this volume, and the injury claims that follow are rarely simple.

Catastrophic Injuries

Some accidents change your life in an instant. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, and permanent disabilities require a different level of case preparation. The medical complexity is higher, the future costs are harder to calculate, and the stakes of getting it wrong are permanent. These cases demand an attorney who won't settle early for the wrong number.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders are disproportionately blamed regardless of fault. Arizona's year-round riding season means motorcycle accidents happen in every month, on every type of road, and the bias against riders in insurance negotiations is consistent. We address that directly.

Semi-Truck Accidents

Commercial trucking claims involve layers that typical accident cases don't: federal regulations, carrier insurance policies, multiple potentially liable parties, and companies with experienced legal teams already working the case from the moment of impact. These cases need to be handled differently and start immediately.

Pedestrian/Bicycle Accidents

Scottsdale's walkable corridors, like Old Town, the Canal paths, or Kierland Commons, see real pedestrian traffic. When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the injuries are almost always severe. Jaric has secured significant settlements for pedestrian clients, including $2.5 million for a client struck by a drunk driver.

Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare accidents create genuine insurance confusion. Whether the driver was active on the app, between rides, or mid-trip determines which policy applies. Companies like Uber and Lyft have legal teams whose job is to minimize their exposure and your payout. We work through that complexity on behalf of injured passengers and third parties.

About Jaric Erike

Jaric grew up in Arizona, went to law school here, and has built his entire legal career here.

Jaric grew up in Arizona, went to law school here, and has built his entire legal career here. 

Before representing injured people, he spent three years defending major healthcare providers in federal medical malpractice cases. He built the arguments defense teams use. He knows how insurers think, where claims fall apart, and what changes when a claimant has real representation.

For the past four years, his practice has been exclusively motor vehicle accident victims. That focus has produced results — including a $2.5 million settlement for a pedestrian struck by a drunk driver.

Clients describe the same experience consistently: they always know what's happening with their case. Jaric returns calls and explains decisions. For someone dealing with injuries and financial pressure, that's rarer than it should be.

Beware of the "Quick-and-Easy" Settlement Trap

Arizona is an at-fault state, which means the other driver's insurance company is responsible, and they know it. Their adjuster will call fast, sound reasonable, and may offer a quick and "convenient" settlement before you've had time to understand what your damages actually are.

That settlement offer is not generous. It's a closing strategy.

The window to protect your claim is narrow, and once you sign a release, that's it. Most people don't realize any of this until it's too late.

We've Handled Cases Just Like Yours. Does This Sound Like You?

  • You were rear-ended on Scottsdale Road (the 101), and the other driver's insurer is offering far less than your medical bills
  • You were a passenger in an accident and aren't sure who to make a claim against
  • An uninsured or underinsured driver hit you; it's not uncommon on the 101, the 51, or anywhere in the valley
  • You received a settlement offer and aren't sure if it's fair
  • Your injuries didn't show up immediately, and you're worried it's too late to say something
  • An adjuster has been calling, and you've already given a recorded statement
  • A family member was seriously injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident anywhere in the greater Phoenix metro area
  • An Uber or Lyft driver hit you on the way to Old Town, and you're not sure who's actually responsible

Your Case Deserves a Direct Answer

What Happens After You Call Us

Your consultation is free and carries no obligation. We will listen to what happened, ask focused questions, and give you an honest read on where things stand.

When we take a case, here's what the process typically looks like:

  1. Case Investigation: Medical records, accident reports, and available footage are gathered.
  2. Medical Coordination: Keeps your treatment ongoing and documented — gaps in care are the most common way insurers reduce claim value.
  3. Demand & Negotiation: Once damages are clear, a demand goes out. Our experience on the defense side means we know what moves the needle.
  4. Resolution or Litigation: Most cases settle. When they don't, we litigate — and insurers know it.
