The Personal Injury Claims Process
Arizona is an “at-fault” state. Insurance companies determine who was at fault for causing the accident, and the person responsible pays for the victim’s injuries and property damage. In a car accident, drivers file claims with each other’s insurance companies. In other personal injury cases, there may be other processes involved. For instance, in a slip and fall at a grocery store, the store’s insurer might be only one of several parties involved in the case.
These challenges are just some reasons why you need to consult a skilled personal injury attorney like those at Wyatt Injury Law. The victim can handle some personal injury cases. However, most should be reviewed by an attorney so you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries and damages.
Challenges of Personal Injury Lawsuits
Victims know that after an accident, they’re entitled to recover compensation for their emergency medical costs and lost wages while they were away from work. They may not realize that personal injury law entitles them to much more than that.
After an accident, you’re allowed to recover all damages caused by and “reasonably flowing” from the accident. This means you can get medical expenses on the day of the accident and also follow-up costs. You can recover:
- Economic damages such as medical treatment costs, doctor’s bills, medication, and rehabilitation. These include lost wages and income, lost opportunity, and loss of future income.
- Non-economic damages are caused by the effects of the accident, such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of companionship, or loss of consortium. You may need an attorney to help prove these non-economic losses.
- Punitive damages are only awarded during litigation if the defendant’s acts were malicious or wanton. Drunk driving cases may receive punitive damages.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
After an accident, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Arizona. If you don’t file your personal injury lawsuit by that deadline, you may be barred from recovering any damages in your case. There may be exceptions for minors under the age of 18 and individuals under legal disability. Contact an attorney immediately if you have a personal injury claim you think has expired.
Can I recover even if I was partially responsible for my accident?
In Arizona, you can still recover even if you were partially at fault in your accident. Arizona uses a system known as pure comparative negligence. When insurance companies decide on fault, they assign a percentage of responsibility to each party. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. In other words, if the total award was $100,000 and you were 25% at fault, you could still recover $75,000.
My accident was minor. Should I still see an attorney?
It’s always a good idea to have an attorney review your case, even if it was minor. At the initial consultation, the lawyer will let you know whether you can handle the claim on your own. For a minor fender-bender, you can probably manage by yourself. Since the consultation is free, you have nothing to lose.
