Do I Have a Case?
It is difficult to determine if you have a case without knowing the specifics of your accident. That is why we recommend speaking to a Lake Havasu City train accident attorney from our firm today.
During your free case evaluation, you can discuss what happened, along with your injuries so our lawyers can determine if negligence may have been involved. There are four elements of negligence that must be present in an accident for there to be valid case:
- Duty of care ”“ The at-fault party had a legal obligation to act in a safe manner or take certain safety measures to prevent harm to others.
- Breach of duty of care ”“ The at-fault party failed to uphold his or her legal duty and this put you or others in a dangerous position.
- Causation ”“ The at-fault party’s negligent actions directly led to you suffering an injury. If the situation was handled differently, you would not have suffered an injury.
- Damages ”“ Finally, we must prove that the injuries you sustained from this accident led to out-of-pocket expenses for medical bills, lost wages or other damages like pain and suffering.

Is There a Time Limit to File a Case?
In Arizona, personal injury cases, including train accident claims, have a filing deadline of two years from the date of the accident. This time limit is mandated under Arizona’s statute of limitations. Cases that are not filed before the deadline could be dismissed, and you may be prohibited from obtaining compensation.
However, each train accident case is unique, and your claim may have a longer or shorter deadline. If you are filing a claim against a government entity, you must provide notice of your claim within 180 days of the accident. Usually lawsuits against the government must be filed within one year.
Concerned your deadline may have passed? Contact our firm today to find out the deadline that may apply to your claim.

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.

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 --...
