Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle

Whether you were involved in a high-speed collision on I-17, a pedestrian accident while shopping in Old Town Scottsdale, or a rear-end collision on a residential street, our team is prepared to fight for your rights. We handle vehicular accident cases of all kinds, including:

Car accidents
Commercial vehicle and semi-truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Uber/Lyft and taxi accidents

Hit-and-run and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims
Bus and public transportation accidents

Plane crashes

Each type of motor vehicle accident case has unique legal considerations. Our team tailors our investigations based on those considerations, whether that means obtaining black box data for a truck accident, surveillance footage for a hit-and-run, or phone data for a rideshare collision.

Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents

While external factors may play a role in a collision, negligence or recklessness are major contributors all too often. Some of the most common causes of motor vehicle accidents our Scottsdale attorneys see include:

Distracted driving
Impaired driving
Speeding
Aggressive driving
Failure to yield
Unsafe lane changes
Poorly maintained roads

Determining the cause of an accident is crucial for establishing liability. We’ll thoroughly investigate the crash, identify potentially liable parties, and build a compelling case for maximum compensation.

Common Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

An accident doesn’t need to be severe to cause significant injuries that keep you out of work and leave you facing costly medical bills. Some of the most common injuries we see in Scottsdale and around Maricopa County include:

Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Neck and back injuries
Fractures and broken bones
Road rash, lacerations, and burns
Internal damage
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Psychological damage like PTSD and anxiety

Some injuries, such as whiplash and internal damage, may not show symptoms for hours or even days after the accident. It’s critical to seek prompt medical attention after an accident if you want to protect your health and your legal rights.

Steps To Take After a Motor Vehicle Accident

You can make a tremendous difference in the outcome of your case if you take swift action after a motor vehicle accident. After you’ve ensured your safety, you should:

Report the Accident: Police reports provide key information about the accident that can be critical when pursuing your claim. That information includes the date, time, and location of the accident, as well as statements from involved parties and witnesses, and an initial fault assessment.
Document the Accident Scene: Take photos and videos of vehicle positions, vehicle damage, accident debris, skid marks, traffic signs and signals, road and weather conditions, the surrounding area, and visible injuries.
Collect Witness Information: Third-party testimony can lend credibility to your claim. If there were any witnesses, collect their names and contact information.
Keep Careful Records: To recover the compensation you deserve, you must show the full extent of the financial losses you’ve incurred. Keep an organized file of all related medical and financial records.
Be Cautious When Speaking with Insurers: The insurance company’s goal is to protect its profits by minimizing your payout. Whenever possible, let your attorney speak with them. If you do speak with them, never admit fault, never accept quick settlements, and do not provide any recorded statements.
Contact a Lawyer: An experienced motor vehicle accident attorney can lead you through the entire legal process and help you avoid critical errors. Contact one as soon as you’re able.

What Compensation Is Available?

The at-fault party may be liable for the physical, emotional, and financial damage their negligence caused. That means they may be responsible for the following:

Current and future medical expenses
Lost wages
Lost future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Damaged property repair or replacement

If you lost a loved one in a motor vehicle accident, you may have a valid wrongful death claim. Compensation in wrongful death cases can include funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses incurred prior to the deceased’s passing, loss of guidance and companionship, and loss of financial support.

How Long Do I Have To File a Lawsuit?

Under Arizona law, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a motor vehicle accident lawsuit. However, for cases involving government entities, the process is different, and the deadlines are far shorter.

Regardless of how long you have to file, acting quickly is crucial to the success of your case. Evidence can be lost or destroyed, witness memories fade, and insurance companies often employ stalling tactics. Contact a lawyer as soon as you’re able.

Deadline To File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Arizona

In most circumstances, you must file a wrongful death lawsuit within two years of your family member’s death in Arizona. Note that the deadline applies from when they died, not when they initially suffered their fatal injury. For instance, if someone in your family died a few weeks or months after a car crash, the two-year countdown starts on the date of death.

There are also some circumstances where you might have less time to take legal action, such as cases involving a government entity. Talk to a wrongful death lawyer serving Scottsdale as soon as possible to preserve your right to pursue compensation.
