Personal injury law in Arizona exists so that when someone does something irresponsible, reckless or even intentionally, those who have been harmed can seek justice in civil court by way of obtaining compensation in the form of damages. The standard that’s usually used is known as negligence, and negligence is generally defined as an action that does not meet the standard of a reasonable person acting in a similar situation.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Basically, personal injury laws deal with losses that are incurred by someone because of the negligent actions of someone else. No loss is greater to any family than when a loved one is killed because of the negligence, recklessness or the intentional conduct of someone else. These situations lead to emotional devastation given the sudden death that has occurred, and such a scenario can also lead families to encounter financial as well as emotional peril. Therefore, successful wrongful death lawsuits generally lead to an award of damages that compensate Phoenix, AZ family members for their medical, funeral and burial costs as well as their loss of income and their loss of companionship after a truck wreck.

Proving Negligence in a Wrongful Death Claim

When an Arizona commercial trucking wreck occurs and someone is killed because of the negligence of the truck driver, there are standards that need to be applied in order for the driver and perhaps his employer to be held accountable in the eyes of the law. Generally, it should be shown that the person would not have been killed but for the reckless or otherwise negligent driving of the driver, and there are common causes of Arizona commercial trucking wrecks that include:

• Speeding
• Use of intoxicants
• Inattentive driving
• Reckless maneuvers
• Fatigue

There are many others, but what must be shown is that some act or omission on the part of the commercial truck driver was not only negligent, but that this negligence is what caused the accident and that the accident caused the death of the person at issue.

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.
