While there is no way to eliminate your risk of getting hurt in an avoidable accident, there is a lot everyone in Arizona can do to minimize the risk that they accidentally cause such an accident to happen to someone else. In fact, this expectation is legally enforceable as a “duty of care” in many situations, and someone who violates that duty in a way that directly leads to another person getting injured may be held liable under civil law for any harm person sustains from the incident.
When you are hurt in an accident that you believe stems directly from someone else’s “negligence,” you should strongly consider reaching out to a Chandler personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options. Personal injury claims can be complex and time-consuming under even the most favorable circumstances, and guidance from our knowledgeable local attorneys could be key to getting a positive outcome from your case and obtaining the restitution you deserve.

Holding Someone Else Liable for Your Injuries
Most of the time, making someone else pay financially for causing a personal injury requires proving that the other person was legally “negligent” in some way. More specifically, an injured person filing this sort of claim will need to establish that the “defendant” they are filing suit against meets all the following criteria:
- The defendant owed them—the injured “plaintiff” filing suit—a “duty” to act responsibly under specific circumstances, such as the duty all drivers have to pay attention to their surroundings and obey traffic laws while driving
- The defendant “breached” their duty by doing something specifically reckless, careless, and/or illegal
- The defendant’s breach of duty was the “proximate”—in other words, the main and direct—cause of an accident that likely would not have occurred at all without that breach
- The accident caused by the defendant directly resulted in at least one physical injury to the plaintiff, requiring professional medical care
With help from a Chandler personal injury attorney, it may be possible to make a “negligent” person pay financially for both economic and non-economic consequences of their misconduct, including medical bills, lost working capacity, personal property damage, physical and psychological suffering, and more.

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.

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 --...

Unique Elements of Personal Injury Claims
One fairly unique element of personal injury litigation in Arizona compared to other states is the rules set out for how plaintiffs can go about requesting compensation for a personal injury. Rather than naming a precise amount of money that covers each economic and non-economic loss they sustained, personal injury plaintiffs can only declare a “damage tier” that most closely suits their needs: less than $50,000, between $50,000 and $300,000, and over $300,000.
Arizona also has a “statute of limitations” which prohibits personal injury victims from filing suit if too much time has passed since they first sustained their injury. Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-542 sets a deadline for most personal injury claims of two years after an injury first occurs, meaning there is little time to lose in contacting skilled legal representation.
Our Chandlery attorneys could take the lead in all legal matters to ensure nothing is missed that would jeopardize the chances of a favorable outcome in a personal injury claim. Additionally, while most personal injury attorneys focus more heavily on accepting settlement offers to speed up the process, our team is dedicated to putting in the work to get our clients the best possible result, even if that means taking a case to court.
