Arizona Personal Injury Attorney

While we can handle personal injury cases of many kinds, injury claims involving a minor are the specialty. Settlements for children require court approval, often a trust or structured settlement, and careful protection so the money stays available for the child — not diverted by relatives or parents fighting for control. Mr. Mussman brings that child-centered lens to injury work, as counsel and as someone who has been a personal-injury victim himself.

Was a child or teen hurt in an accident?

Injury claims involving minors are not ordinary adult settlements. Arizona courts must approve the resolution, and the money usually needs a structure that protects the child until adulthood.

We handle the claim with those rules in mind from day one — medical documentation, liability, and a settlement path that can survive court scrutiny and keep the recovery for the minor.

  • Court-approved settlement

    Build a file and proposal the court can accept — not a rushed adult-style release that falls apart at the hearing.

  • Trust or structured payout

    Typically a trust or structured settlement so funds are preserved until the minor can access them at 18 (or under court-approved terms).

  • Protecting the child’s share

    Reduce the risk that parents or other relatives try to take control of the settlement or trust for their own ends.

Injured as an adult and need selective counsel?

We can handle personal injury cases that do not involve a minor — car crashes, premises injuries, and other negligence claims — when the facts fit how we practice.

Intake is selective. Clear liability, meaningful damages, and a case we can move responsibly matter more than volume.

  • Any viable PI matter

    Adult injury claims are welcome when the case fits — we are not limited to minor-only work.

  • Honest fit check

    If a larger PI firm is the better tool for your facts, we will say so rather than force a fit.

  • Document-driven claims

    Medical records, wage loss, and evidence preserved early so negotiation happens from strength.

Worried family conflict will swallow a child’s settlement?

When money is coming for an injured child, relatives sometimes push for control of the funds — or for structures that do not protect the minor.

Counsel who understands juvenile-court and child-welfare dynamics is better positioned to press for trust language, court oversight, and outcomes that keep the recovery with the child.

How personal injury cases typically move forward in Arizona

  1. Step 1

    Case & minor-status review

    Assess liability, damages, insurance, and whether a minor’s court-approval path applies.

  2. Step 2

    Claim building

    Evidence, medical documentation, and valuation — including future care needs for an injured child.

  3. Step 3

    Settlement & court protection

    Negotiate recovery, then structure trust or structured settlement and seek court approval when required.

Counsel perspective

Minor injury claims live at the intersection of PI and juvenile court

Anyone can open an injury file. Settling a claim for a child is different: the court must approve the deal, funds are often locked in a trust or structured settlement until adulthood, and family conflict can put the child’s money at risk. That is why injury work involving minors is the specialty here — while still leaving room for other personal injury matters when the facts fit. Preparation for court approval is not a closing checklist item; it shapes how the claim is built from the start.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about personal injury in Arizona

Do you only take injury cases involving children?

No. We can handle personal injury cases generally. Claims involving minors are the specialty because of court approval, trusts or structured settlements, and the need to protect the child’s funds.

Why does a minor’s settlement need court approval?

Arizona generally requires court approval so the resolution is fair to the child. That process is more demanding than signing an adult release with an insurer.

Do you take every injury case?

No. We focus on matters with clear liability, meaningful damages, and a case that fits our practice. If another firm is a better fit, we will say so.

Reviews

What clients say

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    “I referred a slip-and-fall case to Logan Mussman where my friend slipped while pumping gas at a QuikTrip in Phoenix. There was a malfunction with the nozzle, gas ended up all over the ground, and he slipped, fell, broke several ribs, and ended up in the hospital. I called Logan and he got right to work. Initially QuikTrip wanted to give nothing, and Logan kept rejecting lowball settlement offers. I believe he settled for just under $100k — more than covering medical expenses, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and lost wages. A+ experience. Highly recommend!”
