I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. 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...

Latosha E.

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 --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Rich S.

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...

Denise C.

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!

Squaw Peak Realty

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...

Jeffrey J.

Phillips Law Group helped me out a lot with my motorcycle accident. They're attentive to your needs, always have answers to your questions, and answered all my calls, never leaving me in the dark. I highly recommend Phillips Law Group.

Anthony W.

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!

Sherman S.

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.

Whitney W.

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...

Jasmine J.

Phillips law group is an AMAZING company!!!! First and foremost not only did they help me with my first car accident but my second one as well!!

They truly did everything in their power to get me the most money. I’m still in disbelief how much money I did end up walking away with. I’m very happy and blessed that they took my case when nobody else would. I will definitely use them again in the future NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Trust me USE THEM! You...

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...

Mary S.

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...

Grant F.

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.

Chandon A.

Angie at Phillips Law Group is outstanding. She took a high degree of consideration with every concern raised and PLG lawyers are outstanding legal advocates. I highly recommend this law firm.

Our attorneys are prepared to help pursue compensation for your damages if the crash was caused by the other driver’s negligent actions. The four elements of negligence include:

• Duty of care was owed — The other driver owed you a legal duty to act reasonably to prevent harm to you and others sharing the road. For instance, all drivers have an obligation to not speed or run through a red light at an intersection because it can increase the likelihood of a side-impact collision.
• Duty of care was breached — The other driver breached this duty of care by acting carelessly and not how a reasonable person in the same situation would have acted. For example, a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol is breaching his or her duty of care to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
• Causal link — There must be a connection between the breach of duty of care and your injuries. Our attorneys must directly link these two together. Without this breach, you would not have been harmed. This could include obtaining medical reports from doctors to show the cause of injury.
• Damages suffered — The injuries you sustained from the accident must have resulted in physical or financial hardships, such as hospital bills for medical care and lost wages from missed time at work.

Our licensed attorneys have decades of experience building negligence cases against other drivers. If you are unsure if you may have a case, contact our legal team at 602-222-222 to schedule a free consultation.

What is My Car Accident Case Worth?

Calculating an accurate value on a car accident claim requires a detailed understanding of all the contributing factors that led to the accident.

You may be eligible to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are the measurable losses or out-of-pocket costs created by your injuries. An example of this is the medical expenses you have already incurred and will incur in the future, such as bills for the following:

These damages could also include loss of income and loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working to treat your injuries or working in the same capacity as before. You may even be eligible for compensation if your car was damaged in the accident, such as the reasonable costs to repair your vehicle, pay for a rental car while your vehicle is in the shop, or the reasonable fair market value of your vehicle if it is totaled.

Non-economic damages are the physical pain, emotional distress, or psychological trauma experienced due to the car accident. These damages are more difficult to measure and require looking at the following factors:

Loss of quality of life, affection, or companionship may also qualify. Arizona does not have a cap or limit on the amount of damages (economic and non-economic) you can recover in a personal injury case, so car accident victims with a viable case may be able to recover the full value of their damages.

What If I Share Some Responsibility for the Crash?

You may still be eligible to pursue compensation even if you share some responsibility for the crash. However, any award amount you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault. This is in accordance with Arizona’s comparative negligence rule.

For instance, if a jury awards you a total of $120,000 for your damages, but you are found to be 40 percent responsible for the accident, your award amount would be reduced by 40 percent or $48,000.

A knowledgeable Lake Havasu City car accident lawyer from our firm can discuss this issue in more detail and answer your other legal questions. Contact Phillips Law Group for a 100 percent free consultation.

What Does Car Insurance Cover After an Accident?

Like most states, Arizona requires all drivers to maintain a certain amount of car insurance coverage in order to operate a vehicle legally on state roads and highways. The minimum requirements include:

• $10,000 for property damage liability coverage
• $15,000 per person for bodily injury liability coverage
• $30,000 per accident for bodily injury liability coverage

However, drivers often purchase more than the minimum coverage. If you have a valid claim, our attorneys are prepared to pursue the full value of your claim, up to the limits of the other driver’s insurance policy.

Our legal team has years of experience reviewing insurance policies to determine what may be covered and how much coverage is available.

Insurance Claims Against Uninsured/Underinsured Drivers

If you are injured in an accident with an uninsured driver, you may be wondering how your damages will be covered. Even if the at-fault driver has some insurance, it may not be enough to cover all of your damages. These are both valid concerns that should be discussed in detail with one of our experienced lawyers.

You may be able to pursue compensation for your damages by filing a claim with your own uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage. The required minimum by law is $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident for this type of coverage.

Insurance claims are often complex. At Phillips Law Group, we are well-versed in Arizona’s insurance requirements and welcome the opportunity to review your situation and determine your legal options.

Contact our offices at 602-222-222 to schedule a free consultation.

How Long Do I Have to Find a Lake Havasu City Car Accident Lawyer and File?

Arizona has a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time in which to file a car accident case. Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident and once that two-year deadline passes, you will likely be barred from court and unable to recover compensation for your damages.

However, no two car accident cases are the same. There could be exceptions that may extend or shorten this deadline. For instance, if an accident victim was unaware of his or her injuries after the crash, perhaps sustaining a traumatic brain injury that did not materialize until days or weeks later, the deadline may not start until the victim reasonably knew or should have known about the injury.

If the accident victim is a minor, the deadline may be extended to two years from when he or she turns 18 years old.

If you are unsure if your time to file has passed, we encourage you to contact a Lake Havasu City car accident lawyer at Phillips Law Group today.

Why You Should Seek Legal Representation

Obtaining legal representation often results in accident victims recovering more compensation. Our reputable attorneys have over two decades of experience representing clients in a variety of car accidents, including vehicle rollovers, rear-end collisions, side-impact crashes, head-on collisions, and more. We dedicate our skills and resources to try to ensure that our clients receive fair compensation or proceed to trial if necessary.

Should you have a case and decide to move forward, we are prepared to investigate the accident scene, gather the evidence needed to help prove negligence, determine the driver or drivers responsible for your injuries, and communicate and negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf.

How To Handle Questions From Insurance Agencies

After a car accident, you will likely be contacted by the other driver’s insurance company. The insurance company will ask you questions about what caused the accident and injuries. It is important to be prepared to answer these questions because what you say to an insurance agent could be used against you.

An insurance company’s bottom line is to save money. They are not looking out for the best interests of accident victims. The insurance agent will want to hear your version of events in hopes that you admit fault, apologize or say something that could be misconstrued in an effort to pay out as little as possible.

If you speak to an insurance agent, be honest and provide only the basic details of what happened. Do not make assumptions, offer opinions or provide information that you are not sure about. If you do not know how to respond to a particular question or do not fully understand what is being asked, simply say that you do not know. The last thing you want to do is say something that could devalue your claim or cause the insurance company to deny it altogether.

Delayed Injuries Following a Collision

Car accidents can cause serious injuries. Even if you feel fine immediately after the collision, it is important that you seek medical care in an emergency room or from your treating physician. Certain injuries may not appear until several days or even weeks afterward.

Delayed injuries can vary, but some of the most common include:

• Concussions — These happen during car accidents when the head sustains a blow. Although considered a mild traumatic brain injury, it can result in serious consequences if left untreated.
• Whiplash — When the neck snaps back and forth in a crash, whiplash can happen. The injury can extend to the neck’s nerves, joints, and muscles. Many symptoms of whiplash are the same as those of a concussion, including headaches, dizziness, and changes in sleep patterns.
• Abdominal swelling — Pain or swelling in the abdomen could be a sign of internal bleeding. If left untreated for several days after a crash, it could be potentially life-threatening.
• Back pain — Back pain could be a sign of sprains, strains, or herniated disks. It could also lead to a serious spinal injury if you start to experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the area of injury.
• Emotional trauma — Some accident victims experience psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This type of trauma can develop as a result of the accident or injuries. Changes in behavior and difficulty controlling emotions can also slowly manifest over time and may be related to a concussion or another head injury.

It is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible if you have experienced any of these delayed injuries. After receiving treatment, whether at Kingman Regional Medical Center or another area hospital, consider contacting our firm.
