Chandler Car Accident Lawyer

Automobile collisions are the single most significant cause of personal injuries in Arizona and throughout the United States, and the vast majority of traffic wrecks that result in injury stem mostly or entirely from just one person’s misconduct. However, even if it seems obvious to you that someone else is to blame for causing your crash, you may have significant trouble holding them liable for your ensuing losses during settlement negotiations or through a civil lawsuit—especially if you try to do it alone.

Fortunately, you have assistance available from a Chandler car accident lawyer who has been helping people injured in collisions around the Phoenix metro area for more than 30 years. With our seasoned personal injury attorneys on your side, you will have the best possible chances of securing a favorable case result and getting every cent of the compensation you deserve for your damages.

How Fault Works in Car Crash Claims

Regardless of how or where a car accident happens, holding someone directly involved—or a third party who was indirectly involved, such as a mechanic or a vehicle manufacturer—legally liable for crash-related injuries will almost always require proving they were legally “negligent.” In a nutshell, someone is “negligent” and therefore liable to pay civil damages if they directly cause an accident through their own reckless or careless misconduct, which in turn directly causes someone else to suffer a physical injury needing professional medical care.

It is important to emphasize, though, that getting hurt in an auto accident does not make someone immune from being found partially responsible for causing that wreck through negligence of their own. In fact, Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-2505 allows courts to assign percentages of “comparative fault” to people who hold some of the blame for their own accidents and reduce the value of their final damage award in proportion to that percentage—an outcome which an experienced Chandler car accident attorney could play a vital role in preventing.

Getting Paid Fairly Within Filing Deadlines

Fortunately, Arizona does not have any “no-fault” restrictions on filing suit immediately after an auto accident as opposed to requiring that injured people go through the insurance claims process first, and there are also no artificial “caps” placed on the maximum amount of money someone can recover through a successful personal injury claim. This means it is often possible after a car wreck to demand recovery for the full value of all economic and non-economic, past and future losses stemming from that incident, including:

• Emergency medical bills and expected long-term care costs, including for things like physical therapy and assistive equipment
• Lost working capacity, income, and/or benefits like employer-provided health insurance
• Vehicle repair/replacement costs, plus other personal injury damage and related expenses like rental car fees
• Physical pain and suffering from accident-related injuries
• Emotional distress and psychological trauma from injuries and/or the accident itself
• Lost enjoyment/quality of life, including lost consortium

As a car crash lawyer in Chandler could further explain, though, A.R.S. § 12-542 typically gives injured people just two years after initially getting hurt to begin the civil litigation process, so time is of the essence when it comes to building and filing a strong claim over an auto accident.

Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!

I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...

I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!

One of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a accident attorneys. They made me feel welcomed. They definitely listened to me and help guide me through this process with ease. There was no surprises and they made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. The best phone I made the night of my accident and God forbid any other accidents come my way but if so they will definitely be my very first call again. Best law group In PHX.

I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

Maria Cionci and Paulina Nava are wonderful people that truly care about their clients.

Darren M.

I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.

Tea J.

Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...

Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...

Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.

Matt S.

I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
