Personal Injury Associate Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Our Phoenix office is growing, and we're looking for a Litigation Attorney who wants to try cases, not just settle them — someone who will represent injured people and their families in personal injury and medical malpractice matters with the same tenacity that's defined our firm for five decades.

• Represent plaintiffs in personal injury matters — auto, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian collisions, catastrophic and brain injuries, premises liability, product liability, and wrongful death.
• Represent plaintiffs in medical malpractice matters — surgical and anesthesia errors, birth injuries, emergency room negligence, misdiagnosis, and medication errors.
• Develop cases from intake through resolution: investigate the facts, build the record, work with medical and liability experts, and prepare every file as if it's going to trial — because at Burg Simpson, it might.
• Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and appear in Arizona state and federal courts.
• Negotiate aggressively with insurance carriers and defense counsel, knowing exactly when to hold the line and when to settle on our clients' terms.
• Communicate directly with clients at every stage — because at Burg Simpson, keeping people informed isn't an afterthought, it's the culture.
• Partner with our paralegals and nationwide network of shareholders and trial lawyers across our Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and Wyoming offices.

We believe great trial lawyers are made, not born overnight — and we invest accordingly. This role comes with a real commitment to your development as a courtroom attorney:

• Second‑and‑first‑chair opportunities alongside veteran shareholders with decades of verdicts behind them.
• Hands‑on mentorship from a trial team that has secured results ranging from multi‑million‑dollar wrongful death verdicts to landmark product defect and gas explosion cases.
• Support to develop your own trial skills — voir dire, opening and closing, direct and cross‑examination, expert handling — rather than a career spent managing files toward settlement.
• Access to the resources of a national litigation platform: an established referral and co‑counsel network, and the institutional firepower to go toe‑to‑toe with any defense team or insurance carrier.
• A clear runway — many of our shareholders built their careers at Burg Simpson from associate to trial partner.

• Active license (in good standing) to practice law in Arizona (or eligibility for prompt admission).
• Litigation experience in personal injury and/or medical malpractice; plaintiff‑side experience strongly preferred.
• Genuine appetite for courtroom work — deposition and motion practice experience, with a desire to first‑chair trials.
• Strong writing, negotiation, and case‑strategy instincts.
• A client‑first mindset — the same empathy and directness our clients describe when they talk about our team.
• The grit to go up against large corporations and insurance companies without blinking.

• A firm with 50 years of results and a $2 billion+ track record backing your work.
• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
• Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance; short‑ and long‑term disability; term life and AD&D; medical and dependent care FSA/HSA options; 401(k) with annual firm contribution; and paid vacation, sick, personal, and maternity leave.
• A firm culture rooted in community — our attorneys are active in pro bono work, nonprofit boards, and civic institutions across every market we serve.
• A seat at a national table: local clout in Phoenix, backed by the strength of a firm with offices across the country.
