Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (AZDFI)
What types of injury-accident cases do we help our clients with? Take a look.
Auto Accident Injuries
Arizona automobile insurance may pay for damage to the vehicle, but car insurance rarely covers all medical expenses. What if you require ongoing physical therapy or extensive patient care long after the initial trauma of the accident? Lost income, rehabilitation, multiple surgeries, and the possibility of permanent injuries are all reasons why you want a car accident lawyer handling your personal injury case.
Truck Accident Injuries
Arizonans share the road with commercial trucks on interstates, highways, county roads, and city streets. Accidents involving tractor-trailers, commercial freight carriers, and transportation vehicles can be serious. Head-on truck collisions with automobiles and 18-wheeler pileups can close interstates and leave a path of destruction.
One complication in making a truck accident claim is determining who is liable. Some semi-truck drivers are employees of the trucking company, but many truckers are independent contractors. The steps our experienced truck-accident injury attorney will take include investigating the crash and determining which state and federal liability insurance requirements were required of the big-rig’s owner or operator.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Even when bikers wear helmets and protective clothing for safety, motorcycle accidents can result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. Many drivers report never seeing the motorcycle before the collision, with bad weather conditions worsening visibility considerably. Our motorcycle accident attorneys are intent on getting the compensation you deserve as the injured party. A competent Arizona personal injury attorney immediately begins gathering evidence – police report, medical treatment records, photographs, eyewitness statements, communications with insurance companies – to reconstruct what happened, build a winning legal strategy, and protect your rights.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Arizonans and visitors of all ages ride bikes on bike paths, neighborhood streets, and busy roads. At a minimum, being hit by a car can leave the cyclist with painful road rash and a destroyed bike. But internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and disfigurement are also injuries our clients have suffered. Did a motor vehicle strike you while you were riding your bike? Was your child injured? Talk to a compassionate bicycle accident lawyer who can help you through this.
Slip And Fall Accidents Injuries
Slip and fall accidents typically come under the premises liability category of personal injury lawsuits. This means the property owner can be held liable if at fault for somehow failing to protect individuals who are lawfully on the premises. Tripping on a damaged sidewalk, falling down poorly lit apartment stairs, slipping on a wet surface at the grocery store, being hurt by broken equipment at the mall, all such injuries may involve premises liability if the business owner or property owner failed to maintain safety standards. Make no mistake, slip and fall accidents can result in grievous spinal injuries, closed head injuries, fractures, lacerations, and severe bruising. Talk to an attorney with Arizona Law Group. Our personal injury team has the necessary experience, investigative training, trial skills, and resources to hold the negligent party accountable.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can be extremely painful. The victim’s skin may be punctured, crush, and torn. Heavy bleeding, internal injuries, scarring, disfigurement, infection, disease (rabies), and emotional trauma do occur. Some dog attacks are fatal. And many dog bites involve child victims.
Dog attacks and dog bites in Arizona involve strict liability law. The owner of a dog that bit, attacked, or mauled a person who was in a public place, or a person who was lawfully on private property, is strictly liable for the injuries and damages caused. Arizona’s dog bite statute is ARS § 11-1025.
Because the person in charge of the dog is held strictly liable, there is no “one-bite rule” and no negligence requirement. When you or a loved one has been attacked or injured by a dog, consult a personal injury attorney as soon as you can.
Wrongful Death
Was there an accident-related death in your family? If your spouse, child, parent, or other family member was fatally injured because of someone’s negligence, then consult a wrongful death attorney specifically. As decedent’s family member, you may file a lawsuit against the party responsible for his or her death and seek justice for your lost loved one. A wrongful death attorney with Arizona Law Group represents the client who seeks compensation for the decedent’s medical expenses, lost future earnings, burial expenses, pain and suffering, and related damages.
