At Phillips Law Group, our dedicated personal injury attorneys have collectively obtained more than $1 billion in compensation for our clients, including a $7.65 million recovery for a motorcycle rider who suffered a brain injury and $3.1 million for a client who suffered brain trauma and a broken neck in an auto accident.

The founding partner of our firm, Jeffrey Phillips, is in the National Brain Injury Trial Lawyers ”“ Top 25 and has served as lead counsel in over 40 jury trials.

Do I Have a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?

To establish negligence, your attorney must prove the following four things about your situation:

Duty of Care

The duty of care is the legal duty to act in a reasonable manner that prevents harm to others. For example, drivers have the duty to follow traffic laws and doctors have the duty to act in accordance with the accepted medical standards in their practice areas.

Breach of Duty

You must show that the at-fault party breached the legal duty of care. For example, a driver may have been distracted when he or she collided with you or your doctor deviated from the standard of care.

Causation

You must prove that the at-fault party’s breach of duty was the direct cause of your traumatic brain injury.

Damages

You must establish that you suffered damages. If you suffered a TBI, you likely are facing significant medical bills. You may have also lost wages while recovering from your injury. These are some of the damages that you sustained.

During your free case review, our Flagstaff traumatic brain injury attorneys can determine if all four of these elements are present. If you have a case and decide to pursue legal action, our lawyers can discuss further steps to take to build a strong case.

What Damages Are Available for My Claim?

The value of your potential case depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of your injury and the estimated cost of your medical treatment. Additionally, some traumatic brain injuries can cause you to suffer memory loss or personality changes that can negatively impact your life for years to come.

Injury victims may be eligible to receive compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are those that are directly linked to a monetary value, such as:

Non-economic damages do not have a defined monetary value. They include:

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are often caused by a violent blow to the head. They can also be caused when an object penetrates brain tissue. According to the Mayo Clinic, the most common causes of TBIs include:

These injuries can also occur due to medical malpractice, medication errors, assault or being struck by an object.

Classification of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are often classified in one of the following categories:

Mild TBIs

A mild TBI may cause temporary loss of consciousness of no more than 30 minutes or a brief change in mental status. Symptoms of this type of TBI include:

Even though this TBI is categorized as “mild,” you should seek medical attention if you suffer these symptoms. Suffering one TBI can make you more susceptible to suffering another one, which is likely to be more severe.

Moderate TBIs

Moderate TBIs may cause temporary loss of consciousness. Symptoms may mirror those of mild TBIs but be more severe in nature. For example, you may suffer prolonged headaches or persistent nausea or vomiting. You may experience these symptoms for several hours.

In addition to the symptoms associated with mild TBIs, you may suffer the following symptoms if you sustain a moderate TBI:

Some of the negative effects of moderate TBIs may be long-lasting or permanent.

Severe TBIs

Severe TBIs can result in a significant period of unconsciousness from a few minutes to several hours or amnesia. You may experience the same symptoms as moderate TBIs or additional symptoms such as:

It is critical that you seek immediate medical attention after sustaining a TBI so that you can mitigate the damage and establish the connection between the accident and your injuries. TBIs that are not treated promptly can result in permanent brain damage or disability.

After you have sought medical attention, you should then contact a knowledgeable Flagstaff traumatic brain injury lawyer for help with your legal claim. Our lawyers understand the impact brain injuries can have on our clients and we are ready to pursue full compensation, if you have a case.

What Is My Time Limit to File a Lawsuit?

If you are considering taking legal action to pursue compensation, it is important that you act fast. In Flagstaff, you must file your claim within Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations. If you do not file your case within this time period, your case can be barred.

However, each case is unique and there may be exceptions. For example, Arizona follows the discovery rule so the clock on your time to take action will not start ticking until you discover the injury or should have reasonably discovered it. Contact a knowledgeable lawyer from our firm to learn what deadline may apply to your particular case.

Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

Emily N.

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Renae M.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
