Compensation Available for Accident Victims
Placing a dollar value on your injuries can be difficult. Adding up medical bills and damage to a vehicle or other property is one thing, but translating the impact of severe injuries on an injury victim’s life into dollars and cents is another thing altogether.
In most personal injury cases, injury victims can seek special damages and general damages. Special damages involve set amounts of money that you lose due to another’s negligence in causing an accident. The most common types of special damages are medical expenses and lost wages due to an inability to work.
Injury victims can also seek general damages in a personal injury case, which encompass the less calculable losses they have suffered. General damages can include emotional distress from the accident, which may appear in the form of depression, PTSD, anxiety, sleep loss, and more. Pain and suffering, as well as a decrease in the general quality of life due to permanent impairments, can also be components of general damages. Only an experienced trial lawyer can present these types of claim effectively.
Fault and Personal Injury Cases Under Arizona Law
Arizona also has a comparative negligence law. As a result, even if an injury victim is partially at fault for causing an accident, they still may have a personal injury claim against one or more other parties. In comparative negligence cases, the recovery will decrease proportionally according to the degree of fault the injured party bears for the accident.
Deadlines for Filing Personal Injury Claims
Like all lawsuits, personal injury claims are subject to filing deadlines or statutes of limitation. Generally, Arizona law provides that injury victims have two years to file most personal injury claims. Failure to file claims within this two-year statute of limitations could result in injury victims losing their right to compensation from those responsible for their accidents.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I bring to my initial consultation with a personal injury attorney?
To make the most of your first meeting, bring any documentation related to your accident and injuries. This documentation includes medical records, police reports, photos of the scene or injuries, insurance correspondence, and any witness contact information. These materials help your attorney assess the strength of your case and begin building a strategy for recovery.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
A valid personal injury claim typically involves proving that another party acted negligently or recklessly, and that their actions directly caused your injuries. If you’ve suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to someone else’s conduct—whether in a car crash or other incident—you may be eligible for compensation. An attorney can evaluate the facts and advise you on your legal options.
Will my personal injury case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation or mediation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement or liability is disputed, litigation may be necessary. Provident Law® prepares every case with trial in mind, ensuring you’re positioned for success whether your claim is resolved through settlement or in the courtroom.
