Warnock Mackinlay Law, a Scottsdale personal-injury firm, has announced an expanded focus on dog-bite, pedestrian-crash and Uber collision claims in Chandler, Peoria, Tempe and Glendale. The move broadens the firm’s stated emphasis in three claim categories where fault and insurance coverage can be contested.
The announcement does not describe new offices, hiring or a change in the firm’s statewide service footprint. It identifies a change in focus for representation involving injuries that the firm attributes to negligent conduct.
What claims is Warnock Mackinlay Law focusing on?
The firm named dog bites, crashes involving pedestrians and Uber-related collisions. Its work in these matters can involve reviewing medical records, police or accident reports, witness accounts, surveillance video and evidence from an incident scene, according to the announcement.
For dog-bite matters, the firm said it examines the circumstances of an attack, potential liability and available insurance. In pedestrian cases, it said its reviews can include traffic conditions as well as reports and witness statements.
Rideshare crashes can raise added questions because coverage may turn on a driver’s status and activity when a collision occurred, the firm said. Such cases may involve passengers, people walking or cycling, and occupants of other vehicles; the firm said it reviews policies, trip information and crash records for Uber accident claims in Chandler, Peoria, Tempe and Glendale.
Why can rideshare claims involve insurance disputes?
Rideshare claims may involve more than one potential insurance policy, with the relevant coverage depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. The announcement also points to possible disputes over responsibility among drivers, property owners, pet owners, rideshare operators and others.
Warnock Mackinlay said it handles communications with insurers and builds claims using medical and financial documents, witness accounts and scene evidence. The firm also said Arizona filing deadlines make prompt action important, but the announcement did not specify any deadline.
How does this compare with earlier announcements?
The firm has previously announced similar regional focuses. A release dated Aug. 19, 2025 named Uber, Lyft and pedestrian accidents in Glendale, Yuma and Mesa.
Another company announcement, dated Sept. 23, 2025, described a focus on dog-bite and pedestrian claims in Peoria, Tempe and Glendale. Although that item’s headline included Chandler, its body named only the other three cities for the stated expansion.
The current announcement supplies no publication date, making the timing and operational scope of this stated change unclear. It says the firm represents clients throughout Arizona and also handles other personal-injury matters, including vehicle crashes, premises liability and wrongful-death cases.
