Professional Advice You
Can Trust

You trust medical experts with your health and well-being. Every time you visit a health facility, you expect the medical practitioner to evaluate your symptoms promptly and adequately. They should treat and diagnose your injuries and disease within the standard of care practiced and accepted by the medical community. When a doctor deviates from these standards of care, they leave you at the risk of suffering from severe injuries. Breaking that trust is inexcusable, but it occurs daily in doctors' offices and hospitals.

The healthcare professional should have deviated from accepted medical malpractice standards to be legally deemed medical malpractice. The deviation can be either inaction or action. Moreover, negligence must have resulted in an injury irrespective of an omission or an act.

Typical forms of medical malpractice include:

• Failing to monitor you properly
• Failing to treat or diagnose health conditions timely and accordingly
• Failing to make necessary referrals to other medical practitioners
• Prescribing contraindicated or wrong medication
• Making surgical errors
• Misdiagnosing

The statute of limitations for filing your medical malpractice claim is two years. Missing this timeframe means losing the entitlement to hold the healthcare expert responsible. The statute of limitation starts running immediately you learn or should have known of the malpractice.

As far as medical malpractice cases are concerned, the time frame is short. You might spend a couple of months in and out of hospitals looking for second opinions, treatment, and therapy. Before you know, it is already late for your attorney to review your medical records and hire a medical professional to analyze your situation. 

If you have injured and do not know where to start or what to do, turn to Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Law Firm. We have spent many years honoring our craft so that you, our client, can have the best possible outcome. When you require a fighter, we are ready to go.

According to a report released by the National Traffic Safety Administration, around 28,190 people succumbed to motor vehicle-related accidents within the first nine months of 2020. It was a 4.6% increase compared to the first nine months of 2019. Regrettably, most of these accidents are due to negligence.

Common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving — All activities that take the motorist's attention from driving are called distracted driving. It can be grooming, texting, tending to passengers, eating, drinking, reading, or navigating a stereo.
• Drunk driving — Alcohol impairs the motorist's cognitive skills, ability to act reasonably, motor skills, and vision.
• Automotive defect — As a consumer, you expect automotive parts to be tailored to keep you safe and protect you. When an auto part fails to function correctly, it might lead to severe injuries or death.
• Speeding — The higher the speed, the less control a motorist has over their car, hence the higher the possibility of a crash.
• Hazardous road conditions — Examples of dangerous road conditions include poor drainage systems, drop-offs, missing or incorrect signage, potholes, water on the road that can lead to hydroplaning, and ice. Usually, a car accident due to hazardous roadways can lead to a lawsuit against the government or a government agency.
• Weather conditions

Whether you are casually walking around Phoenix or shopping, you need to remember how hazardous crosswalks can be to pedestrians. Data from the Governor's Highway Safety Association projects that about 6,721 pedestrian deaths occurred in 2020, a 4.8% increase from the number of fatalities in 2019. Even low speeds can result in the pedestrian being thrown, crushed, and limbs mangled by the collision impact. Common injuries sustained include internal bleeding, multiple fractures, organ damage, and head injuries.

Numerous factors might play a part in the accident, but the primary cause is attributed to motorist negligence. It can be a driver who:

• Operate their vehicles drunk
• Speeds
• Fails to yield the right of way to pedestrians or comply with traffic rules
• Texts while driving

If you are a pedestrian accident victim, you might be shocked, confused, and feeling traumatized. Luckily, you need to know that you are not alone and there is something you can do about it. You can seek compensation, even when the responsible driver fled. Do not allow yourself to be another statistic. With a skilled attorney advocating for your best interest, you can recover your deserved compensation. It is the responsibility of your legal counsel to make the defendant and their insurance provider liable for making you financially whole.

A catastrophic injury is any injury severe enough to be debilitating and long-term or that causes you a deformity. Recovery might be arduous and lengthy, and medical bills will likely stack quickly.

You should pursue a personal injury claim for an act of negligence or accident that leads to your injury. Since sometimes negligence is not apparent, it is fundamental that a seasoned legal expert carefully analyzes and investigates your case.

After an accident that caused you or your loved one a catastrophic injury, you might be feeling pain and confused about the next step to take. You have come to the right place. The qualified lawyers at Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Law Firm have combined experience of many years and obtained multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements representing good plaintiffs like you.

We recognize that you suffer indefinitely, and the emotional, financial, and physical strain that comes with a catastrophic injury can alter the lives of your loved ones.

Consequently, we will ensure that the full extent of your non-economic and economic damages, including loss of earning capacity, reduced quality of life, and future medical expenses, are accounted for and compensated.

Whether riding a motorcycle is your way of life or hobby, a bike can be a fun and practical method to move around Arizona. However, anything can occur when you are out on the road. Should a collision occur, you as the motorcyclist, and your passengers have little protection and are more vulnerable than people driving in a truck, SUV, or an enclosed vehicle. Even putting on safety gear like a helmet may not prevent you from suffering from debilitation or severe injuries.

You might incur substantial medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. And to worsen the matter, handle an insurance provider who does not understand what you are going through. They might ask you questions about what happened, downplay your crash's severity, and offer you a settlement offer that is not reasonable.

As the little guy, you can be drowned out in the legal matter, particularly when facing an established insurance firm with experienced lawyers. That is why you require a robust advocate to ensure your story is heard.

When a negligent driver hit you, or a defective motorcycle caused your accident, you need to remember that you have rights and should not pay the price for a collision that was not your fault. Our law firm can handle every aspect of the claim. We are skilled trial advocates and negotiators who will not allow anyone to push you around. Whether in the courtroom or at the negotiating table, we are dedicated to ensuring you obtain the largest payout possible.

Death is not easy to deal with, especially when dealing with a loss of a loved one who died due to another person's negligence. When a loved one dies, and you think another person is accountable, you might have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.

The legal action allows you to gain a sense of justice and financial compensation. However, you need to prove that the defendant caused your loved one's death and you have suffered financial losses as a result. Common damages awarded in wrongful death settlements include:

• Loss of income that the victim would have made if they lived
• Medical expenses incurred before the demise
• Burial/ funeral costs
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages

Each claim is unique, and the jury will decide the compensation amount depending on the victim's death, income, and anticipated future earnings.

Please note that survivors should file their wrongful death claim within two (2) years from the date of the demise. Otherwise, you lose the entitlement to seek compensation. While the statute of limitations is stringent, there are exemptions to the timeframe. The knowledgeable lawyers at Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Law Firm can evaluate the case and advise whether you can still file the wrongful death lawsuit.

If you fit the criteria for bringing a wrongful death claim, please consult us to review your case. We will assess whether your claim is valid and conduct thorough investigations on the death. We will gather proof of negligence, analyze accountability policies and determine your compensation amount.

Finally, we will notify the defendant of the intention to bring a claim. It will result in settlement discussions where we will negotiate with the defendant. We can take the case to court if the defendant is reluctant to settle the matter or make a low settlement offer.

Arizona has some of the most hazardous roads, including Interstate 10 from Phoenix to California. The stretch alone experiences about 85 fatalities annually, as the state averages 700 vehicle-related deaths each year. Negligent drivers and accidents involving huge trucks cause most of these deaths. Being involved in a truck accident is a devastating experience.

As the rigs power down Phoenix's highways full of cargoes and with their immense weight, their drivers should be trained and experienced enough to operate their vehicles. Additionally, the drivers are tasked with driving with caution.

However, mistakes occur. When truck drivers drive recklessly or make careless errors, they endanger other road users' lives. Common mistakes made by truck drivers include:

• Speeding
• Using their phone
• Overloading truck
• Drunk driving
• Changing lanes improperly
• Tailgating
• Aggressive driving
• Failing to comply with the traffic rules

Often truck collision victims suffer severe and life-altering injuries. Even a minor injury might result in substantial medical experience and lost wages. Many victims might require many years of recovery or sometimes never recover fully, especially when left with permanent deformities. Also, the emotional distress the victims suffer is unbearable.

If you have been injured in a truck collision, you might be entitled to receive compensation from the at-fault driver. Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Law Firm can carefully analyze your claim to understand its merits and challenges. If you have a valid case, you can rely on us to aggressively represent your rights and claim.

We understand that you cannot work following your accident, have a recovery to focus on, and medical bills to pay. We do not want to add to your suffering. Our policy is that we do not charge legal fees unless we negotiate a fair settlement or prevail at trial. That is our promise to you. Finally, we offer free case reviews.

When a bus is involved in an accident, people can suffer severe injuries. Many buses are not equipped with safety features like seat belts found in most modern vehicles, increasing the risk of sustaining injuries when the bus you are riding in is involved in an accident.

Buses weigh more and are massive than most motor vehicles. Also, their impact when they strike other vehicles, motorcyclists, and pedestrians can lead to property damage and catastrophic injuries. Consequently, most bus accidents involve awards or settlements involving vast sums of money. That means when a lot of money is at stake, the more vigorous insurance providers and the defendants contest the claim. Therefore, it is crucial to retain a proficient personal injury attorney. 

You should receive compensation for both the losses you have already incurred and your future losses. For instance, if you sustained spinal cord injuries, you should recover compensation not only for the medical attention you have already received but also for the medical treatment you will require in the future. The same holds for ongoing losses, future lost wages, and emotional distress.

You can establish your future losses through consulting with independent actuaries. Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney Law Firm's legal team has an established network of doctors, economists, and actuaries who we work with to ensure our clients receive their deserved compensation.

We understand the unique legal circumstances that arise in accidents involving government-managed, charter, and school buses. Over the many decades, we have learned to represent our clients' rights and are not intimidated by established insurance firms that do not have your best interests at heart.
