Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Mesa

If you recently lost a close family member to a motorcycle accident that was not their fault, you unfortunately know how quickly one person’s reckless or careless actions can permanently change the lives of multiple other people at once. You may also have a sense of how difficult it can be, emotionally and legally, to seek financial recovery for losses your family will experience as a result of your loved one’s untimely death.

Support from a compassionate attorney with experience in fatal motorcycle accidents in Mesa can make a significant difference in your chances of success with legal action and your ability to prioritize your and your family’s emotional needs without being overwhelmed by the demands of settlement talks or a civil court. No matter who is to blame for your family member’s motorcycle accident or what losses you need to recover for, the team at Phillips Law Group can help you protect both your financial and personal best interests.

Unique Elements of Lawsuits Over Fatal Motorcycle Crashes

Because someone who lost their life in a Mesa motorcycle crash cannot file suit over their own fatal injuries, the right that they would have had to sue over non-fatal injuries transfers to their surviving immediate family members. Their surviving spouse, children, parents or guardians, or their representative, can take the lead in filing and pursuing legal action over their wrongful death.

Both economic and non-economic losses those immediate family members experience due to their loved one’s premature death can be factored into this type of claim, including:

• Costs of medical care received by the decedent between their initial injury and their untimely death
• Funeral, burial, cremation, and estate administration expenses
• Lost future financial support or the future value of inheritance
• Lost love, companionship, guidance, and comfort
• Lost household services and assistance
• Emotional anguish

However, the legal process must formally begin no more than two years after the decedent’s date of death to comply with the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Fatal Motorcycle Wreck?

While the specific losses caused by a fatal motorcycle crash in Mesa determine the financial value of an ensuing lawsuit or settlement demand over that crash, the subjective severity of the incident has no bearing on who holds legal liability for its consequences. As with non-fatal injuries, holding someone else financially accountable for a motorcycle accident resulting in wrongful death requires proving the person was negligent.

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.

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. 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...

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.

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...

This entails showing, through a preponderance of evidence, that a specific reckless, careless, or illegal act by the defendant was the primary cause of a fatal injury that would not have otherwise occurred. In some scenarios, however, partial or primary fault for an accident of this nature may lie with a manufacturer that produced a defective motorcycle or other vehicle, in which case that manufacturer could be liable for damages based on their failure—negligent or otherwise—to make and sell a reasonably safe product.

Motorcyclists are tragically far more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries from accidents than anyone inside an enclosed motor vehicle, including in situations where a passenger car driver is entirely to blame for causing the crash in the first place. In that latter scenario, you may have grounds to demand substantial civil restitution for the harm your entire family suffers through no fault of their own or of your loved one whose life was unfairly cut short.

Fatal motorcycle accidents in Mesa can be much easier to respond to effectively if you have help from experienced and dependable legal counsel. Call Phillips Law Group today to learn what their team can do for your family.
