Karns & Karns expands Arizona trial team in Phoenix and Scottsdale

Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys says it has launched an expanded litigation push across Phoenix, Scottsdale and Maricopa County, targeting trucking crashes, rideshare cases and wrongful death claims. The move adds dual office hubs and a trial-focused team led by attorney Darren McBratney as the firm seeks more local presence in a busy freight corridor.

Why it matters: - Karns & Karns is expanding courtroom coverage in one of the country’s fastest-growing freight and commuter regions. - The firm is targeting cases tied to commercial trucking, rideshare incidents and catastrophic crashes across Maricopa County. - The Arizona push is designed to put local trial resources closer to Phoenix and Scottsdale clients.

What happened: - Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys launched an expanded regional litigation initiative across the Valley of the Sun. - The firm is operating from office hubs in Downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. - The Arizona effort is led by trial attorney Darren McBratney. - The firm says the expansion covers victims of catastrophic 18-wheeler collisions, complex highway wrecks, rideshare sexual abuse and wrongful death cases.

The details: - The firm says it has recovered more than $500 million nationally. - Karns & Karns says its Arizona work is focused on Maricopa County and statewide cases. - The firm points to heavy freight traffic along Interstate 10, Interstate 17, Loop 101 and Loop 202. - Karns & Karns argues the region’s freight activity has contributed to more severe multi-vehicle collisions, tractor-trailer crashes and pedestrian impacts. - Bill Karns, founding partner, said many billboard-heavy legal operations function as “settlement mills” and do not go to trial. - Darren McBratney is licensed in Arizona, California and Texas. - McBratney has handled catastrophic injury claims, medical malpractice, product liability and commercial transportation disputes. - The firm says McBratney has secured more than $30 million in career verdicts and settlements. - McBratney said the Arizona team immediately seeks electronic logging devices, engine data and accident reconstruction support after major crashes. - Karns & Karns says its No-Fee Guarantee means the firm advances litigation costs and clients pay nothing out of pocket unless compensation is recovered. - The firm says it handles commercial 18-wheeler and freight collisions, catastrophic highway and commuter crashes, wrongful death actions, pedestrian and crosswalk accidents, motorcycle collisions, Uber and Lyft crashes, and rideshare sexual abuse and assault litigation. - The firm says it uses electronic data recorder telemetry, FMCSA hours-of-service audits and negligent maintenance claims in trucking cases. - The firm says rideshare cases may involve layered commercial insurance policies up to $1 million. - Mike Karns, founding partner, said the Phoenix and Scottsdale offices are meant to provide local representation backed by national trial resources. - Mike Karns said the firm funds depositions, medical life-care plans and forensic trial exhibits in-house. - The Phoenix office is at 2 N Central Ave, #1800, Phoenix, AZ 85004. - The Scottsdale office is at 7702 E Doubletree Ranch Rd, #300, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. - The firm’s contact number is 1-800-4THEWIN, or 1-800-484-3946. - The firm’s website is the Phoenix office page. - The firm also listed social media profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.

Between the lines: - The launch appears aimed at competing for high-value injury cases in a market where trucking and rideshare claims can turn on rapid evidence collection. - The repeated emphasis on trial readiness suggests the firm wants to differentiate itself from high-volume settlement practices. - The local office footprint may also help the firm signal proximity and responsiveness in a geographically broad metro area.

What's next: - Karns & Karns is positioning its Arizona team to pursue more trucking, rideshare and wrongful death cases across the state. - The firm is likely to lean on early evidence preservation, expert reconstruction and trial preparation in future Maricopa County matters. - The Arizona offices will serve as the firm’s base for client and media inquiries related to Phoenix-area litigation.
