Determining if You May Have a Case

This is a very difficult question to answer until we meet with you to discuss your injuries and damages and the circumstances of the train accident. There are many factors at play that must be carefully considered, such as:

• Was the accident caused by negligence and can the four elements of negligence be established (duty of care, breached duty of care, causation, damages)?
• Who could be at fault for negligence?
• Can the negligence that caused the accident be linked to your injuries?

There are many other factors our Flagstaff train accident lawyers may need to consider. We want you to have the information you need to make an informed decision about pursuing legal action.

We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. We are here to assist you.

• Bad design of railroad crossings
• Crashes with other trains
• Derailing from the tracks

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...

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 --...

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...

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 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 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...

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...

If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.

Injury Compensation That May be Available

If you have a valid train accident claim, our attorneys are prepared to pursue maximum compensation for your physical, financial and emotional damages. While we know compensation cannot change what happened, it is the law’s way of attempting to make victim whole after an injury.

Some of the damages that could be available may include:

Medical Bills

You may be able to obtain compensation for current and future medical bills. This can include things like bills for surgical procedures, MRIs, x-rays, appointments with doctors, assistive equipment, transportation to the hospital in an ambulance, and mileage to and from doctor’s offices.

Future medical expenses could include physical therapy, copays, rehabilitation or other expenses for ongoing treatment of your injuries.

Loss of Wages and Earning Capacity

After a serious injury, people may be unable to work for a few days or more while they attempt to recover from their injuries.

Sometimes injuries are so severe, such as the loss of a limb or a spinal cord injury, the victim is unable to do the same job as before. If this happens, the victim may need training to work in an entirely different industry.

Pain and Suffering

Our Flagstaff train accident lawyers can explain how to document physical pain from an injury and the emotional suffering. We may ask you to keep a daily journal of your pain to help establish the full value. We can also review medical records and consult medical experts to help explain your level of physical pain and emotional trouble.

Lost Consortium

After an accident, a victim’s quality of life can see a major decline. This can have a negative impact on his or her relationship with his or her spouse.

If the victim is killed in the accident, the spouse could also be eligible for this form of compensation, along with surviving children.

In cases where the negligence that caused an accident was intentional or done with malice, victims may be eligible to pursue punitive damages. The purpose of this form of compensation is to punish at-fault parties for their egregious conduct.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim?

Personal injury claims in Arizona have a two- year statute of limitations ”“ claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident otherwise they will be barred.

While this deadline applies to many claims, there are times when the deadline is slightly different. This is based on the circumstances of the case and other factors, like the age of the victim. When victims are minors at the time of the accident, the two-year window does not start until he or she turns 18.

Since deadlines for personal injury claims can be quite complicated, it is generally recommended that you discuss things with an experienced attorney. Our experienced Flagstaff train accident lawyers can review your situation in a free consultation and determine how much time there is to take legal action.

The clock could already be running so it is important to contact us right away. The consultation is absolutely free.

Why You Should Contact a Lawyer

Working with a lawyer could be to your advantage because those who do tend to obtain more compensation than those who do not.

There could be many reasons for this. For instance, truck accident cases can be very complicated. It takes resources to be able to thoroughly investigate.

Why Train Crashes Can be Complicated

If the train was carrying goods over state lines, the situation is regulated by the federal government. That means your claim would be a federal one.

Even if your claim is not a federal one, it could involve a corporation or local government, particularly if you were injured on a commuter train. These entities will fight very hard to avoid liability or paying out fair compensation.

Phillips Law Group’s licensed attorneys are prepared to handle these kinds of claims. We have the resources to thoroughly investigate and make a strong argument in the courtroom if it gets to that point.

Regulations That Could Come into Play

You need extensive knowledge of relevant laws and regulations to determine when these rules have been broken. This is why you should consider relying on a trusted attorney to deal with this.

Our Flagstaff train accident lawyers understand there are numerous regulations for trains. We know how to research these regulations and can consult with experts to help us build your case.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Accident victims are often unaware of how at-fault parties and their insurance companies are working against them. If an insurance company calls, they are just looking for some way to escape liability. They want to settle things quickly because early settlement offers are often for far less money than victims deserve.

You should strongly consider allowing our attorneys to deal with insurance companies for you. We know how to protect the value of your claim. We can also explain insurance company requests to you and how we think they can be dealt with to protect your best interests.

The attorneys at Phillips Law Group have decades of combined experience successfully negotiating with insurance companies for fair compensation.
