Expert Witnesses in Phoenix, AZ Car Accident Cases

In the aftermath of a high-speed car accident, it is far from uncommon for the people involved to be unsure about exactly what happened or even what injuries they have sustained because of the c rash. However, if you want to recover fair financial restitution for the effects of a wreck someone else caused, you will need to be able to prove that they were the reason the wreck happened in the first place and that they caused you specific injuries and losses through their misconduct.

As any experienced car accident attorney can tell you, managing all that during private settlement negotiations — let alone civil court proceedings — can be far from simple. That is why it is often necessary to involve expert witnesses in Phoenix, AZ car accident cases, and to have assistance from capable legal counsel in making the most of the experts on your side. Let the team at Phillips Law Group put their experience and resources to work for you. Call to learn more.

Who Could Be an Expert Witness in a Car Wreck Claim?

Under Arizona state law, someone qualifies as an “expert witness” for the purposes of a civil claim if they have specialized knowledge, training, and/or experience in a particular field that is relevant to the matter(s) under dispute in the case. In practice, this typically means an expert witness is someone who has worked in the field they will speak about for several years and is often still actively working in it, either as a public servant, private employee, or as either a teacher or professor.

Expert witnesses often brought into Phoenix, AZ car crash cases can include:

• “Accident reconstructionists,” to establish exactly how a wreck happened
• Engineers, to establish how a mechanical fault or defect may have contributed to a crash
• Healthcare providers, to establish the cause and severity of injuries
• Vocational and/or economic experts, to establish how a particular injury will affect someone’s working capacity

Guidance from a seasoned legal professional can be vital to finding relevant experts and bringing them on board to help with a specific lawsuit or settlement demand.

The Role of an Expert Witness During a Car Accident Case

As noted above, the main function of expert witnesses in Phoenix car accident cases is to help the injured “plaintiff” prove they have valid grounds to file suit and to establish that they deserve to be compensated for specific damages as a result of their accident. However, they can also play a key role in explaining complex topics to civil court judges and jury members, and sometimes even to other parties in private settlement talks.

On the flip side, expert witnesses can also be used by defendants to argue against an injured person’s assertions that they were hurt in specific ways due to a reckless or careless act. In this type of scenario, an expert witness can help push back against that pushback and offer counterarguments that may strengthen the injured motorist’s claim again.

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.

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...
