How Do I Know if I Am Eligible for Compensation?

Generally speaking, any truck accident case will require your attorney to establish four elements of negligence, including:

Our legal team at Phillips Law Group knows how to investigate and build a robust truck accident case.

What is My Truck Accident Case Worth?

A qualified truck accident attorney cannot assign a monetary amount to a personal injury claim before reviewing all the details that may have contributed to the accident and your injuries. However, there are typically certain damages that you may be eligible to recover, including:

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Your Injuries?

There are often multiple parties who not only share ownership of the commercial vehicle, but who may also share liability for the accident that caused your injuries.

Your attorney will need to investigate to determine who may be liable for your injuries. Parties often held liable for truck accidents include:

• Commercial vehicle (truck) owner”“ The owner is responsible for truck maintenance and making sure the vehicle is safe to operate.
• Trucking company”“ If a company fails to conduct an adequate background screening, provide proper training, or violates state or federal trucking regulations, it may share liability for your accident if your attorney can prove the violation contributed to the accident that caused your injuries.
• Maintenance company”“ If the components of a truck malfunctioned, and the repair or maintenance is outsourced to a third party, that company may also share liability for your crash, if that malfunction contributed to your accident.
• Manufacturers”“ If the crash is caused by a defective or malfunctioning component, the manufacturer of that part may be held liable.
• Cargo-loading companies”“ If a third-party company loaded cargo onto a truck improperly, a serious accident may follow.

If these or other parties were negligent and that negligence contributed to the accident that caused your injuries, you may be able to recover damages. Our legal team has decades of experience handling complex cases like these, and we are dedicated to getting fair compensation for our clients.

Should I Accept An Offer to Settle From The Insurance Company?

Any settlement offers from the insurance company soon after the accident are likely to worth much less than the full value of your claim.

Even though insurance companies may act like they are on your side, their ultimate goal is to make money, not to pay fair compensation for your injuries. They often accomplish this goal in different ways, such as offering lowball settlements to accident victims who are vulnerable, in need of money to pay their medical bills, and completely unaware of the full value of their claim. Insurers may also try to use information you tell them to discredit your claim.

What many injured victims do not know is that trucks and trucking companies often have multiple insurance policies covering everything from the contents of the vehicle to medical bills.

If you have a valid claim, you may be able to claim damages against some of these policies, including:

• Liability Insurance”“ The laws mandates truck drivers to have and maintain this coverage.
• Cargo Insurance”“ Sometimes haulage operators elect to insure transported goods.
• Uninsured Motorist / Underinsured Motorist Insurance”“ To avoid the risk of having too little coverage, many truck drivers add UM/UIM coverage to their policies.
• Motor-Carrier Insurance”“ This type of policy is often used with independent contractors.

Our qualified truck accident lawyers have been aggressively representing clients injured in truck accidents for decades. We are very familiar with the tactics insurance companies and others may use to try to intimidate accident victims into providing statements that can be used against them. We are prepared to handle communications with these insurance providers on your behalf and work tirelessly to recover maximum compensation for your injuries.

How Long Do You Have To File A Case In Arizona?

The state deadline for filing a personal injury claims in Arizona is just two years from the date of the accident. While that may sound like a long time, it is worth mentioning that your attorney will need time to investigate the accident, gather evidence and build a strong argument on your behalf. Additionally, there are some instances where this deadline, or statute of limitations, may be different and may require you to file significantly sooner.

If you are not sure when your deadline is or whether it may have already passed, we encourage you to contact our office today to discuss your potential claim and legal options. If you miss the deadline, you may lose any ability to recover damages for your injuries.

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...

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...

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.
