Injured on Vacation in Arizona? We Help Tourists Get Justice

Your Trip Should Have Created Memories — Not Medical Bills

Visiting Arizona should be exciting, whether you're exploring Sedona’s red rocks, hiking in Page, or enjoying a weekend getaway in Flagstaff. But if an accident sent you to a hospital instead of your next adventure, you may feel overwhelmed, far from home, and unsure what to do next. Whether you were hurt in a rental car crash, slipped in a hotel, or were injured on a guided tour, the Law Office of Matthew J. Poirier, PLLC helps tourists understand their rights and seek compensation — even after they return home.

What We Help With

Rental Car Accidents on I-17, I-40, and Rural Highways

Many vacation injuries happen on unfamiliar roads. We help tourists involved in car crashes understand insurance coverage, rental agreements, and Arizona liability rules.

Hotel, Airbnb, and Resort Injuries

Slippery walkways, poorly maintained stairs, broken fixtures, or unsafe conditions can cause serious injuries. We investigate property maintenance and liability.

Tour and Recreation-Related Accidents

Jeep tours, rafting trips, horseback rides, and guided hikes can involve operator negligence or equipment failures. We help identify responsibility and gather needed records.

Grand Canyon and Federal Land Injuries

Accidents inside the Grand Canyon or at national parks may fall under federal rules. We help explain reporting requirements and filing timelines.

Severe or Life-Changing Injuries While Traveling

From fractures to traumatic injuries, vacation accidents may require long recovery periods. We help evaluate long-term medical needs and compensation.

Accidents Affecting Out-of-State Visitors

If you live elsewhere but were hurt in Arizona, we manage your case remotely, coordinate local evidence, and keep you informed — no repeated travel required.

Common Mistakes That Can Hurt Tourist Claims

  • Leaving Arizona without gathering essential evidence.
    Photos, witness information, and incident reports matter greatly.


  • Assuming a claim can’t be filed from out of state.
    Most cases settle without you ever returning.


  • Relying on rental car companies or tour operators for guidance.
    Their priorities may not match yours.


  • Not seeking medical treatment immediately.
    Local treatment helps document injuries and protect your claim.


  • Ignoring federal rules for incidents in national parks.
    Timelines and processes differ from standard state claims.
