Arizona Personal Injury Laws

My name is Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC, here in Phoenix, Arizona. Premises liability case is a case where a person is injured on the property of another, typically through a dangerous condition or dangerous instrumentality on the premises. So it is not a car accident and it’s not a medical malpractice case. It’s an injury that occurs when you fall on somebody else’s property typically.

Typically, broken sidewalk, a spill in the grocery store, falling merchandise – those are premises liability cases. In most of those types of cases, the defendant, the property owner, is going to assert that the injury is at least partially, if not completely, your fault. That’s why you need somebody who’s prepared to take the matter into litigation, and to court, because it will not resolve with a demand letter. It will have to go and be litigated.

If you have a serious personal injury, particularly if you were injured on premises, please contact my firm at (602) 840-8787, Jones Raczkowski PC.

My name is Mack Jones. I’m an attorney at the personal injury law firm of Jones Raczkowski, here in Phoenix, Arizona. How is compensation determined for a significant personal injury? It’s determined in two ways. First, the percentage of fault that the defendant bears is determined. Secondly, one’s damages. There are two components to damages – at least, that’s how lawyers look at it. First component is what we call special damages. Those are your out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, and your medical bills. Those can be arithmetically calculated. But if somebody came up to a person and said, “I will pay your lost wages, and I’ll pay your medical bills, and we’re square,” most people would say, “That’s not fair.” The other component of personal injury damages are general damages. It’s what laypeople call, “pain and suffering.” But it’s not just physical pain and suffering.

It is permanency. If you have permanency, how an injury affects you in terms of your work, your hobbies, your life, any scarring, any physical disfigurement. Those are the types of things that different people have different attitudes and different values on. That’s why, when somebody comes to you and says, “How much is my case worth?” it’s very difficult to determine unless you’re experienced and you’ve done those types of cases in the past. If you’ve had a serious personal injury, please contact me at Jones Raczkowski, (602) 840-8787.

Phoenix Personal Injury

If you’re injured, call 911 or the police. If appropriate, request that a report is made. Do your best to write down information on all involved persons, witnesses, insurance details, vehicle descriptions including the vehicle license number of witnesses, time of day, place and date.

Medical Attention

Immediately seek medical attention. Your safety is priority one. Many injuries may not seem that significant at first, but may become more serious over time. Keep all of your medical records.

Contact Attorney

Consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as practical. There may be things that the personal injury lawyer can do in the short term to help you through the recovery process. You may have questions such as who is responsible for repairing your vehicle, paying for your medical care costs, paying for your rental car and finding qualified medical care. A personal injury lawyer will make sure that all of your rights are protected.

Remain Silent

Make sure that you do not talk to anyone about the accident that led to your personal injury. Never talk with or give a recorded statement to an insurance company, even your own until you first speak with a lawyer. These statements may later be used against you.

Attorney Thomas M. Richardson

I’ve been practicing law here in the Phoenix area and in Greater Arizona area for the last 15 years. I do mainly trial work and a lot of the cases that I have – are able to settle before they go to trial.

A personal injury attorney is a moniker, really, attached to trial lawyers. What I always wanted to do is trial law. I do a lot of jury psychology studies, a lot of jury strategy studies, in an effort to be a good trial lawyer. So when I am a personal injury attorney, it’s actually being a trial lawyer.

My name is Mark Raczkowski. I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. The biggest difference between slip and fall cases and other personal injury cases is that most of the time the defendants deny that they’re responsible for your injuries. As a result you have to sue them in order to get the compensation you deserve. My office has spent more than (25) years focusing on slip and fall/trip and fall cases. So we’re prepared to sue defendants if necessary in order to get the compensation that you deserve. It means we’re able– we’re willing to put in the time and the effort that it will take to prosecute the case and to achieve a satisfactory result for you. If you’ve suffered a serious injury as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, contact me through my website at www.azpremiseslaw.com.

My name’s Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC. Our philosophy on taking on new cases and representing clients is that it’s a two-way interview process, client, the prospective client is interviewing us and we’re interviewing them. The first thing – and the most important thing which you can have with any attorney – is trust. You have to decide whether you’re going to trust your attorney because you’re putting important matters into their care to be handled.

Second, what we’re doing is we’re trying to be realistic so that we all know what is possible and what is not possible. What is not possible is what happened to you cannot be undone. The defendant probably wishes it could be undone. You certainly wish it could be undone but that cannot happen. So what we deal with is the art of the possible not the impossible.

Third, we want to give you realistic evaluations of what can happen, not pie-in-the-sky evaluations, but something that you can sit there and go, “Okay, at least I know what’s going on and somebody’s talking to be straight.” If you have a serious personal injury case and you would like a consultation, or you’d like to interview me, please contact us at (602) 840-8787, Jones Raczkowski PC.

Case Value in Phoenix

This is an extremely difficult question to answer. It is also the most common question asked. In general, personal injury cases have five categories of recovery:

1. Pain and suffering
2. Past lost wages or salary
3. Loss of future earning capacity
4. Past medical bills
5. Future medical bills

Insurance Companies

Insurance companies and insurance defense lawyers have become very skilled at attacking claims in a personal injury case. There is no guarantee that a particular party will receive a particular damage amount. This is why it is so important to hire an attorney who is familiar with these types of cases and handles them regularly. If you have questions or would like to know more about personal injury, contact me at (602) 385-6818 or email me.

My name is Mack Jones. I’m a personal injury attorney emphasizing premises liability here in Phoenix, Arizona. Often times people want to get a copy of the incident report that may have been prepared by the store or the location where they fell. Typically, you’re not entitled to the copy of the incident report unless you signed it. If you signed it, or you were the one that completed it, you’re entitled to a copy. But if it was completed by store personnel, or people at the gas station or wherever, you’re not entitled to a copy of it until you get into litigation. Typically, the stores and other defendants do not want to share that with you because they view it as developing proof to assist them in defending a personal injury claim that you may bring against them. Therefore, if you’ve been injured on premises and sustained a significant personal injury, please contact us in terms of developing the proof necessary to establish your claim, at Jones Raczkowski, PC, (602) 840-8787.
