Josh Wood

Josh Wood is a New Mexico personal injury attorney and founder who represents people harmed in serious accidents and other injury matters. His practice includes car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, premises liability, and workplace injuries. Before representing injured clients, he worked as a defense attorney for one of the country’s largest auto insurance companies and later served as a police officer in Las Vegas.

Josh earned a B.A. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a J.D. from Arizona Summit Law School. His legal education, insurance-defense experience, and law-enforcement background provide a practical foundation for evaluating injury claims, accident evidence, insurance positions, and liability issues. That combination supports his work preparing cases, negotiating with insurers, and developing litigation strategies for clients pursuing compensation after serious injuries.

Josh has several years of experience representing personal injury clients and has recovered millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. His work includes matters involving car accidents, wrongful death, and workplace injuries. He prepares cases from the outset with litigation in mind and handles both settlement negotiations and trial work. His earlier experience representing an auto insurer gives him insight into how insurance companies assess claims and defend against demands for compensation.

Josh Wood is licensed to practice in New Mexico and Arizona and before the US District Court for the District of Arizona.
