The Accident Guys is headquartered in Los Angeles, not Tucson — readers should know that going in. What Southern Arizona clients get from its Wilmot Road office is the same founders, the same plaintiffs-only model, and the same no-win-no-fee promise the firm built across California first.

Two Lawyers Who Decided Not to Defend Anymore
The Accident Guys is a genuinely California firm that has expanded into Arizona, and this profile treats that plainly rather than presenting Tucson as its home. Founders Omid E. Dayan and Eliot M. Houman built the practice starting in 2015, and it remains headquartered in Los Angeles, with additional offices across California and Nevada in addition to its Arizona locations — the Tucson office serving Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and the greater Tucson area is one node in a considerably larger operation.
Both founders describe a similar turning point in their own biographies. Dayan, per his own published account, initially avoided personal injury law due to “prevailing stereotypes” about the field, until his work at a high-volume personal injury firm exposed him directly to insurance-company tactics against unrepresented claimants — an experience he credits with turning him into an advocate “for the underdog.” Houman, a Northwestern University School of Law graduate and UCLA alumnus, worked at what the firm’s marketing describes as “a big civil litigation firm” before co-founding The Accident Guys; the firm states plainly that he “realized that defending big corporations was not his passion.” Dayan is licensed in California, Nevada, and Arizona.
A Consumer Brand Built for Volume
“The Accident Guys” is a deliberately approachable consumer brand — the firm also operates under the name Dayan | Houman in some California materials — built around round-the-clock phone availability, in-person visits to injured clients rather than requiring office visits, and a straightforward no-win-no-fee pledge. The firm’s Tucson-specific marketing emphasizes 24/7 phone access and a promise to schedule clients with a local doctor even without health insurance, a service model aimed squarely at clients who might otherwise not seek treatment or legal help at all after an accident.
Client reviews name a third attorney, identified as Manwel, working alongside Dayan and Houman on client matters, suggesting the practice has grown beyond its two named founders as it has expanded across states.
What the Tucson Office Handles
The Arizona offices handle the standard personal injury docket — car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, and rideshare collisions involving Uber and Lyft — as the exclusive focus of the practice; the firm does not accept defense-side work of any kind. The firm’s national footprint means its published marketing and legal-education content is generated centrally and applied across states, rather than written specifically for Arizona law in every instance — worth knowing for a client evaluating how localized the firm’s expertise in Arizona-specific procedure will be relative to an Arizona-only competitor.
The Results Board
The Accident Guys reports a 98% case success rate and states it has “secured millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts” for clients across its history, without publishing an Arizona-specific, itemized results table. As a firm operating primarily out of California, its aggregate figures likely reflect its full multi-state caseload rather than Arizona results specifically — a distinction this profile flags rather than implying otherwise.
No Arizona-specific, itemized results table was located for this firm as of the research date.
As with every aggregate figure in this series, this reflects the firm’s own reporting; past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future matter.
What Clients Report
The firm’s more than 2,100 five-star reviews span its full multi-state footprint rather than Tucson alone, though the pattern in reviews specific to Arizona clients echoes the national theme: clients describe attorneys and staff as attentive, communicative, and effective at securing treatment access even without insurance. One Arizona-adjacent review specifically thanked attorneys Eliot and a colleague identified as Manwel for handling a claim with patience and clear communication throughout.
Because the bulk of the firm’s published reviews are not geographically separated by office, prospective Tucson clients should ask the firm directly for Arizona-specific references if that distinction matters to their decision.
“I would like to thank this accident law firm for a great handling of my accident case especially Atty Eliot and Atty Manwel for an excellent job on my claims.”

A National Brand, Locally Present in Tucson
The Accident Guys’ community involvement, per its own materials, centers on founder-level engagement — Dayan’s biography describes participation in local charity events, generally, without naming a specific Tucson or Arizona program — and on the firm’s broader consumer-advocacy content addressing systemic issues like rideshare-company safety practices, which its social media presence has engaged with directly. Awesome Attorneys did not locate an Arizona-specific charitable initiative distinct from the firm’s national presence.
Peer Standing
Both Dayan and Houman have received National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 designations — a membership-based recognition organization rather than a rigorous, closed peer-nomination list like Super Lawyers, and presented here in that context. The firm has also received an Avvo Clients’ Choice Award, based on client review volume and ratings rather than attorney peer review. Awesome Attorneys did not locate Super Lawyers or Best Lawyers recognition for either founder as of this research pass, nor a State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certification for any attorney at the firm — this profile does not use the word “specialist” to describe any attorney here.
The Arizona Backdrop, in Plain English
Readers weighing a car accident or rideshare-collision claim in the Tucson area should understand the rules that shape a case under Arizona law, regardless of which firm they hire. What follows is general information, not legal advice.
The two-year clock. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): a claimant’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault but not eliminated.
Rideshare claims involve extra insurance layers. Uber and Lyft accident claims in Arizona typically involve the driver’s personal policy and a separate commercial policy that applies only while the app is on and engaged in a ride — which policy applies can depend on the driver’s app status at the moment of the crash.
Suing the government is faster and stricter. Claims against a public entity require a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and suit within one year (A.R.S. § 12-821).
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
The Accident Guys’ Tucson office gives Southern Arizona clients access to a firm with the resources and reputation of a large, multi-state practice — two founders with genuine defense-to-plaintiff origin stories, a strong online review volume, and a straightforward no-win-no-fee model built for clients who might otherwise not seek help at all after an accident, including the promise of medical scheduling without insurance.
The honest framing every prospective Arizona client should have going in: this is fundamentally a California firm with an Arizona office, not an Arizona-founded institution, and its published results, review counts, and legal content largely reflect a national practice rather than Arizona-specific data. For a Tucson-area client comfortable with that structure — and who wants a firm built for volume and responsiveness — The Accident Guys is a reasonable firm to call; a client who specifically wants an Arizona-rooted practice should weigh that against the other Tucson firms in this series.
