Personal Injury Legal paraprofessional in Tucson, Arizona
This service is provided under the guidance and supervision by the Gaines Law Group in Sonoita, Arizona. A consultation is required prior to any representation or services provided.
When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, recovering physically is only part of the battle, you also deserve fair compensation for your pain, expenses, and losses. Whether you were hurt in a car accident, slip-and-fall incident, or another personal injury situation, I’m here to help guide you through the legal process.
Suffering an injury can change your life in many ways. Medical bills can pile up, making it difficult or impossible to work, and your daily routine can be disrupted. At the same time, insurance companies may try to pressure you into accepting a quick settlement that does not cover your full recovery. You don’t have to go through this alone. As a legal paraprofessional in Arizona, I can provide you with accessible and compassionate support. I can help you pursue the compensation you are legally entitled to, without the high costs that are often associated with traditional law firms.

How I Can Help
As a licensed Legal Paraprofessional, I offer personalized support for individuals seeking compensation for injuries. I help you understand your rights, gather essential documentation, and pursue a fair settlement, all while keeping your case organized and moving forward.
My services are ideal for injury claims under $10,000, but I can also assist with larger claims through collaboration with affiliated attorneys as needed.
Personal Injury Claims & Fee Structure
- Claims under $10,000 – Starting at 25% of the recovery
- Claims over $10,000 – The fee increases to 30% and may involve alternative counsel associated with JNH Legal Services
This ensures that your case receives the proper attention, whether it’s a straightforward matter or something that requires expanded legal resources.
Why Work With a Legal Paraprofessional?
- Lower Fees: Traditional personal injury lawyers often charge 33-40% of the amount you recover, even for simple cases. However, by working with a licensed legal paraprofessional, you can benefit from professional legal assistance at a more reasonable rate, especially for small claims that do not require extensive legal proceedings.
- Accessible Support: Many people hesitate to seek legal assistance because they think that it is only necessary for “big” cases. However, even minor injuries can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses. I am here to help you understand what documentation and evidence is needed, whether it’s a doctor’s note, a repair estimate, or verification of time off from work.
- Streamlined Process: I will handle the legwork while you focus on your recovery. From filing paperwork to communicating with insurance companies, I will manage administrative tasks so that you don’t have to worry about them. This way, you won’t need to relive the trauma of your experience every time a form needs to be signed.
- Collaborative Care: If your case becomes more complicated, such as when liability is disputed, serious injuries require long-term care, or the claim exceeds the small claims limit, I will connect you to trusted legal partners through the Gaines Law Group or other affiliated lawyers. This ensures continuity of care and a smooth transition if your case grows beyond the scope of our paraprofessional services.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases I Assist With
- Minor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall injuries
- Dog bites
- Low-value property damage combined with personal injury
- Other incidents resulting in bodily harm
Even if your injuries may seem “minor,” symptoms such as headaches, back pain, or anxiety can last for weeks or months. Delaying treatment or inadequate documentation can weaken your case – so early legal advice is crucial.
Understanding Arizona’s Personal Injury Laws
Arizona follows a “pure comparative fault” rule, which means that you can still receive compensation even if you are partially responsible for an incident. For example, if you are 20% at fault for an accident, you can recover 80% of the damages. However, insurance adjusters sometimes try to increase your share of responsibility to reduce the payout. I help ensure that fault is accurately assessed based on the evidence, not on assumptions.
Additionally, Arizona has a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. This means that you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, your right to compensation may be permanently barred, even if your injuries are severe. Seeking early legal advice can help protect your timeline.
What to Do After an Injury: A Quick Checklist
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel “fine”. Some injuries (such as concussions or internal bruises) may not be immediately obvious.
- Take photos of injuries, property damage, hazardous conditions, and the weather at the scene.
- File a police report for car accidents or an incident report for slips and falls.
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies without consulting a legal professional first.
- Save all medical bills, receipts, and pay stubs, as well as journal entries about pain and recovery, to help with future claims.

Common Personal Injury FAQs
As a Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LLP) working under the guidance and supervision of the Gaines Law Group, I provide dedicated support for personal injury claims. My role focuses on the initial case management, which includes helping you understand the claims process, gathering and organizing essential evidence and documentation (like medical records and accident reports), communicating with insurance adjusters, and negotiating settlements for appropriate cases. This structured support is designed to efficiently advance your claim under attorney supervision.
My services are particularly well-suited for straightforward claims where liability is clear and the injuries are not catastrophic. This commonly includes minor to moderate vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bite cases, and other situations resulting in bodily harm where the expected recovery is aligned with managing the claim effectively under this model. A consultation is required to determine if your specific case is a good fit.
All personal injury services I provide are conducted under the guidance and supervision of the Gaines Law Group in Sonoita, Arizona. This supervisory relationship ensures that the legal strategies and advice follow established professional standards. Furthermore, if a case involves complexities, significant injuries, or litigation beyond the scope of my practice, the framework is already in place to seamlessly involve affiliated attorneys from the supervising firm to ensure your claim receives the appropriate level of advocacy.
Yes, the handling structure is designed to match the needs of the claim. For claims where the expected recovery is under $10,000, I typically manage the process directly under supervision, focusing on efficient negotiation and resolution. For claims anticipated to exceed $10,000 in value, or which become more complex, the collaborative model with affiliated counsel is engaged more directly to ensure the claim is properly evaluated and pursued, as these cases often involve higher stakes and more detailed legal work.
This model is designed to provide several key benefits: it offers a streamlined and focused approach for appropriate claims, with consistent support from a dedicated professional. It provides accessible legal help by handling the foundational legwork of evidence gathering and insurer communication. Most importantly, it operates within a supervised legal framework, giving you the assurance that your case has oversight and a clear path to additional resources if needed.
The most important first step is to schedule the required consultation. This allows us to discuss the specific details of your incident and injuries, review any documentation you already have, and provide you with a clear, honest assessment of your options and how the process works. It is also crucial to focus on your medical treatment and follow your doctor’s advice, as your health and medical records are the foundation of any injury claim.
