Avondale Personal Injury FAQs
ANSWER:
Your first priority should be attending to your physical health immediately after an accident. If the accident is serious enough, you may be taken for medical attention either way. If immediate medical attention isn’t necessary, you should take pictures of the accident, damage, surroundings, etc. and get the contact information of any witnesses. Don’t discuss the accident much with the other party or admit fault. You should get their insurance information if possible.
ANSWER:
Your friends and family are all likely to think you have a case, and it sounds just like what happened to their friend who was awarded thousands of dollars in a settlement. While comparisons can be helpful, the best way to know if you have a valid personal injury claim is by consulting with a personal injury attorney. Personal injury attorneys spend at least 40 hours a week (and probably far more) handling cases similar to yours. An experienced attorney should be able to tell you what to expect, and if pursuing a claim will be worth it.
ANSWER:
Sometimes, the stress of being in an accident causes a rush of adrenaline and you may not feel the pain from any injuries you suffered until later. Neck and spine injuries, such as whiplash, have a reputation for causing pain after a long period of not bothering the injured person. You should still see a doctor soon after the accident to document any strains, bruises, etc. that could become more serious injuries in the future.
ANSWER:
The time limit to bring a legal claim is called a statute of limitations. Generally, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in Arizona is 2 years. If the plaintiff was a minor or had a mental disability at the time of the incident, that two year time period won’t start running until the plaintiff turns 18 or regains their mental capacity. The defendant won’t be excused by the statute of limitations if they leave the state to evade a lawsuit. There are other exceptions to the statute of limitations, and you should consult a personal injury attorney if you are unsure if any apply to your case.
ANSWER:
If an insurance adjuster or anyone from the other side of the case calls you, you shouldn’t speak with them. They are likely trying to sway you into saying something that can hurt your case, and usually call on recorded lines. If you have retained an attorney to represent you in the matter, you can direct the insurance adjuster to contact your attorney instead.
ANSWER:
Personal Injury cases are what are known in civil law as torts. Damages for torts cases are awarded in two ways: compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Compensatory damages are the costs that directly result from the injury. These can include medical bills, property damage, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, the costs of future treatment, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering. Some of these can be proven with receipts, but others, like pain and suffering, will be up for debate.
Punitive damages do not directly result from the incident, and instead are meant solely to punish the defendant. Punitive damages aren’t typically awarded unless the defendant’s behavior was particularly egregious or reckless. Because punitive damages are based on what would constitute a punishment for the defendant instead of the actual cost of the incident, they can sometimes be astronomically higher than compensatory damages. Ordering a small business to pay a few thousand in punitive damages is equivalent to a larger corporation like McDonald’s or Walmart paying tens of millions in punitive damages.
ANSWER:
There are numerous benefits to hiring an attorney to represent you in a personal injury claim. Instead of having to deal with insurance adjusters, opposing counsel, etc., on your own, your attorney can handle all of your communications with them on your behalf. Many insurance adjusters won’t even take your case seriously unless they are speaking with an attorney. You may be able to negotiate a settlement on your own, but it doesn’t hurt to at least consult with an attorney about your claim to see if they think they can negotiate a higher offer for you. They may also recognize procedural violations of which you might not be aware. Depending on the jurisdiction in which your case is filed, you may not be able to file motions and other documents online, and be required to go to the courthouse for every small update in your case. Any attorney you hire should take care of court filings for you.
ANSWER:
Most personal injury attorneys charge for their representation on a contingency basis. Contingency fees are attorney’s fees that are only paid if the attorney wins your case. They will receive a portion of your award, usually 20-35%, after winning. If your case isn’t successful, you won’t owe the attorney anything. An attorney will also collect a contingency from any settlements that they negotiate for you.
When you’ve been in an accident, the last thing you want to do is spend months or years in and out of a courtroom. That doesn’t mean that you should take just any settlement the other party offers you. Whether you want to settle your case as efficiently as possible, or will pursue your case to trial, our attorneys are here to help. Our personal injury attorneys have years of experience in representing Arizonans just like you. The initial consultation is free, and we only get paid if we win your case. Call to schedule your free consultation as soon as possible after an accident.
