We're happy to discuss your case in more detail during a free consultation. In the meantime, here are a few common questions we receive in Arizona claims:

• Do I have grounds to bring an injury claim for my accident?
  Arizona is a fault car insurance state. This means that injured parties generally have the right to bring personal injury suits against the at-fault drivers, as long as they suffered some kind of damages in the accident. To have a successful claim, you'll need to prove that the other driver breached a duty of care to you, and that this breach caused your crash.
• How long do I have to file a car or truck accident claim?
  You should file a car insurance claim as soon as you can after a collision, to stay within the rules of the insurance company. When it comes to filing a personal injury claim for an auto collision, you have two years from the date of the accident before the Arizona civil courts will refuse to hear your case.
• Who is responsible for my truck accident?
  If the truck driver caused your accident, the company could be vicariously liable. The trucking company could also be liable if it caused the accident through poor fleet maintenance, unsafe cargo loading, improper driver training, or some other act of negligence. You might also be able to hold the individual driver, a third-party driver, a part manufacturer, and/or another party liable.
• How much is my personal injury claim worth?
  Every claim is unique, but the value of your claim will generally come down to the severity of your injuries, cost of medical bills, and the number of lost wages that arise due to the accident. The more severe your injuries, the more your claim will be worth.

Auto accidents are just one of the practice areas our firm handles. Our trial lawyers have secured settlement awards and jury verdicts for claims involving defective products, unsafe premises claims, medical malpractice, dog bites, amputations, workplace accidents, playground accidents, sexual assault, wrongful death, and more. After any type of accident, call our experienced trial attorneys for assistance.

Do You Have Grounds to Bring a Claim for the Wrongful Death of a Loved One?

"Wrongful death" refers to the death of one person from someone else's negligence, wrongful act, or intent to harm. If the deceased person could have filed a personal injury lawsuit had the accident not resulted in death, odds are surviving family members can now bring a wrongful death lawsuit. In Arizona, parties that can bring a wrongful death claim are the surviving spouse, child, or parent/guardian of the deceased person, or the personal representative of one of these parties, or the representative of the decedent's estate.
