Am I Eligible to File a Case?

It is difficult to determine whether you have a case without knowing the details of your situation. This is why we suggest taking advantage of the free consultation we offer to find out if you are eligible to take legal action and pursue compensation.

Most personal injury cases are based off of whether the at-fault party acted negligently and caused you to suffer harm. Generally, there are the four elements of negligence that must be proven:

Duty of Care

A duty of care requires that the at-fault party had a legal obligation to act in a reasonable manner in order to prevent harm to others. For example, a driver must follow the speed limit and not drive recklessly.

Breach of Duty of Care

This element means that the at-fault party violated his or her legal obligation by not acting in a way a reasonable person would have in the same situation. For example, a driver that is going 75 mph on a 55 mph zone is violating his or her duty of care by not abiding by the law.

Causal Link Between Your Injury and the Duty of Care

You must be able to prove that there was a causal connection between the at-fault party’s breach of duty of care and your injury. This means that your injury would not have happened if it had not been for the at-fault party’s negligent actions or inactions.

Damages From Your Injuries

It is not enough to show that the at-fault party’s negligence caused you to suffer an injury. You must also show that because of your injuries from the accident, you also suffered damages, such as medical expenses and loss of income.

It is important that you get in touch with an experienced Flagstaff personal injury lawyer today to better understand your potential legal options.

How Much is My Case Worth?

Determining the exact value of your potential case is difficult to do without knowing the details of your situation. If our Flagstaff personal injury lawyers establish that you have a case, we will work hard to get you compensation for the damages you have suffered. Depending on the severity of your injuries, this may include economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are the monetary losses you experienced from the accident. These losses are easy to quantify with kept receipts and medical documentation. This may include:

Non-Economic Damages

These type of damages are harder to quantify because there are no exact costs that you had to pay out-of-pocket. These damages could include:

What if I Share Fault for My Injuries?

It is possible that you may share some fault for the accident that caused your injuries. However, even if you are partially at fault of the accident, you may still pursue compensation. This is because Arizona follows a comparative negligence law. This law entails that you may pursue compensation but the value will be reduced based on the percentage of fault you are guilty of.

We understand how much an accident can cause a victim and his or her family financial, physical and emotional hardships. If you have a case, our legal team will work hard to pursue compensation on your behalf. Get in touch with us to schedule a free consultation.

Is There a Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Case?

If you have been involved in an accident and are considering taking legal action to recover from the damages you suffered, it is important to act quickly.

In Arizona, most personal injury cases must generally be filed within two years, starting from the date of the accident, or the discovery of the injury.

This is mandated under the state’s statute of limitations. Cases filed after this deadline run the risk of being dismissed and barred from receiving compensation.

However, every case is unique, so even if your two-year deadline has passed, it should not discourage you from speaking to a licensed attorney from our firm to see how we can help.

What Should I Say to The Insurance Company?

Personal injury cases are typically settled through an insurance claim. You may have to deal with your own insurer and the insurance company of the at-fault party. Unfortunately when dealing with an insurance company, they are in the business to profit themselves and are not looking out for your best interests.

The insurance company typically sends over an adjustor to speak with you after an accident. He or she is trained to use certain tactics to get you to say something that will devalue your claim. It is important to note that it is not necessary to speak to an adjustor right away. They may persuade you to do so to reach a quick settlement before hiring a lawyer.

This is why we recommend speaking to a lawyer so that you are aware of the value of your claim. A lawyer can also handle all communication with the insurance company for you.

What to Do After an Suffering an Injury

After an accident, there are several things you can do to protect your potential legal claim. If your injuries allow you to do so, try to handle the following immediately after an accident:

Seek Medical Treatment

Getting your injuries looked at by a medical professional is imperative to your health. The adrenaline you may feel after an accident may mask the pain you are in and you may not think it is necessary to get a doctor to look after your injuries. Unfortunately, this could put your health at-risk. Some injuries may not be visible to the eye, and with proper imaging tests, he or she may discover that your injuries are a lot more serious than you believed.

It is also important to your claim to visit a doctor because it will connect your injury to the accident. Failing to seek immediate medical attention may give the insurance company reasons to believe that your injuries are not as severe as you claim.

File an Accident Report

Filing a report allows you to get official documentation of the accident. This could be in the form of a police report or asking the supervisor of the premise where you were injured to make a report. Be sure to ask for copies as they could be used to support your claim.

Gather Evidence at the Scene

While the accident is still fresh in your mind, it is helpful to gather evidence from the scene. This may include taking photographs from a variety of angles of the accident and taking photos of your injuries. This also includes collecting the names, addresses and phone numbers of all parties involved in the accident.

If any witnesses were present at the time of the accident, speak with them and collect their contact information in case you and your lawyer need to verify some facts at a later date.

Having a legal guidance throughout the legal process is invaluable. Should you have a case, we will handle all aspects of it on your behalf so that you can focus on your recovery.
