Personal Injury Cases We Handle in San Tan Valley

Our lawyers serving San Tan Valley handle a wide variety of personal injury cases, from relatively minor injuries to catastrophic and life-changing injuries. No matter what type of injury you sustain, our lawyers have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you seek the compensation you need.

Some of the most common types of personal injury cases our team handles include:

  • Car accidents

  • Motorcycle accidents

Our lawyers tailor our legal strategies to the unique circumstances of every case.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to personal injury cases.

Evidence Used in Personal Injury Cases

The backbone of any successful personal injury lawsuit is strong evidence. As part of their investigation into the incident that caused your injuries, our lawyers will gather various types of evidence to help us identify the at-fault parties and hold them liable through settlement negotiations or trial litigation.

Common types of evidence used in personal injury cases are:

  • Accident scene photographs
  • Security or traffic camera footage
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Accident reports
  • Expert testimony
  • Maintenance records
  • Medical records and bills

Compensation Available to San Tan Valley Personal Injury Victims

The compensation you can seek through a San Tan Valley personal injury lawsuit falls into two main categories: Economic and non-economic damages. In some rare cases, you may also be able to pursue punitive damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are the compensation you seek for your losses with tangible value. Determining the total cost of these losses typically involves simply adding them up, which your attorney can do for you. Examples of economic damages include:

  • Past and future medical expenses related to your injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, medical treatment, medical devices, physical therapy, and prescription medications
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity, including your salaried, hourly, and overtime pay, bonuses, and work benefits, caused by your injuries’ impact on your ability to work
  • The cost of repairing or replacing property that was damaged or lost in the incident that caused your injuries.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are the compensation sought for your losses with intangible value. Examples of these losses that lead to non-economic damages include:

  • Physical pain and suffering caused by your injuries
  • Emotional distress caused by the accident, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression
  • Loss of enjoyment of life caused by your injuries’ impact on your ability to engage in activities
  • Scarring and disfigurement, particularly to the head, face, or neck
  • Permanent disability and its impact on your daily life
  • Loss of consortium, which is the effect your injuries have on your marriage

Because these losses don’t have set values, it’s crucial that you work with a compassionate personal injury lawyer who can empathize with you and help you seek fair compensation for them. In many cases, non-economic damages make up a significant portion of your total damages, so it’s vital that your lawyer accurately assesses the impact of your injuries.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are only awarded by juries in rare cases where the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, which are referred to as compensatory damages because they compensate a victim for their losses, punitive damages are meant to punish a defendant for their actions.

Arizona’s Comparative Negligence Law

Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-2505 covers the state’s pure comparative negligence rule. This statute states that if a jury determines a plaintiff was partly at fault for the incident that caused their injuries, the plaintiff’s damages will be reduced by a percentage equal to their degree of fault.

For example, if the jury determines you were 40 percent at fault for your slip and fall injuries, you could only recover 60 percent of your awarded damages. Or if the jury found you to be 70 percent at fault for your car accident injuries, you could still recover 30 percent of your awarded damages.

While this rule specifically applies to compensation awarded by a jury, insurance companies also look to it when determining settlement amounts.

To maximize your compensation, it’s crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can collect evidence demonstrating you were not at fault for the accident or minimizing your degree of fault.

Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

Under Arizona’s statute of limitations (Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-542), personal injury victims have two years to file lawsuits against the parties responsible for harming them. You must file your lawsuit within this period to prevent the courts from barring you from seeking compensation for your injuries.

While two years may sound like plenty of time, it’s important to keep in mind that a lot of work goes into a personal injury case before a lawsuit is even filed. Your lawyer needs time to identify the at-fault parties, gather the necessary evidence, and build a strong case. The earlier you begin working with a personal injury lawyer, the better your chances of maximizing your compensation will be.

Also, not all evidence lasts forever. There is often a time limit on gathering certain evidence before it disappears for good, including accident scene photographs and surveillance camera footage.
