Getting Through the Legal Process
Dealing with insurance companies and claims adjusters is difficult enough when you’re healthy. If you’ve been injured and have suffered financial losses, those repeated calls from insurance agents wear you down. Insurers want you to settle quickly, so they pay less for your medical care and damages.
When you have a professional attorney at your side, the insurance company has to talk to us. We speak to the insurance agents on your behalf and negotiate for a fair settlement. Whether you’ve suffered a simple slip and fall or the more devastating consequences of a significant auto accident, we help you get through the legal process and explain how to obtain the maximum compensation available.
Since Arizona is an “at-fault state,” the person responsible for any accident pays for the victim’s injuries. When you file an insurance claim, you must include all documentation, such as medical bills and paycheck stubs, proving the losses suffered because of your injuries.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so even if you are partially responsible for your accident, you can still recover damages in your case. Your attorney will explain how to explain your negligent actions in a case. For instance, if you weren’t wearing a seat belt, you should mention that in your accident claim. It will be less damaging than if the other driver tells their insurer or attorney about it.
When You Need Extra Help
Sometimes, you can handle accident claims by yourself. Minor fender-benders can be resolved with a quick insurance claim and a couple of photographs. More serious injuries and significant damage need legal advice because you’re entitled to damages that you may not realize you can request on your initial claim form. Arizona law lets you ask for:
Economic Damages. These damages are calculated by tallying your medical bills, doctor’s treatments, lost wages, loss of income, and other costs related to your accident. They may also include any future expenses, such as job retraining, medical equipment, or in-home care if necessary. Our accident lawyers can tell you how we get expert opinions for these types of damages.
Non-Economic Damages. Sometimes called “general damages,” this is compensation for intangible harm like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, psychological harm, and loss of enjoyment. Family members have a claim for loss of consortium or loss of companionship. If you may need medical treatment for these damages in the future, your attorney can request that the award be increased to meet your future costs.
You cannot ask for punitive damages since they are intended to punish malicious or grossly negligent behavior. If we believe the defendant acted in such a manner, we will present the case in court and request punitive damages then.
