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.

My name is Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney here in Phoenix, Arizona at Jones Raczkowski PC. You’ve been injured and now you’re receiving bills and typically you’re going to continue receiving bills and you’re going to receive repeated medical bills from the same provider. That is stressful, no matter who you are. There are ways that we at Jones Raczkowski can help.

First, you should process your bills as you normally would. If you have group health, process them through group health.

Second, if they will be included in any potential claim that is made on your behalf, as against the purported defendant, reclaim the face amount of the bills, not the reduced amount of the bills. Not your copay, not your deductible. The face amount of what the bill was as asserted by the provider.

Third, only attorneys practicing in premises liability generally are going to have an awareness. And particularly in premises liability there may be medical payments coverage available simply because you fell on somebody else’s property. That’s not fault-based insurance. It’s no-fault based insurance and it’s called medical payments, and it can be up to $5000 or $10000 just because you fell on somebody else’s property. But you need an attorney, typically, to find out whether that coverage exists. If that coverage does exist, we’ll get that coverage for you and we won’t charge a fee on that. Call us at Jones Raczkowski PC, 602-840-8787.

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’s Mark Raczkowski. I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been practicing for over (11) years here in Arizona. We’ve been focusing our efforts on cases involving slip and falls and trip in falls for more than (25) years. The attorneys at my firm are passionate about what they do. We focus on our clients. We want to make sure that our clients have their questions answered. That they’re educated about the process. And that they get the compensation that they deserve.

We’re a smaller firm so we have a more personal touch with our clients. It’s easy for clients to get in touch with myself, with my partner, with staff inside the office. If somebody contacts us, we try to get back to them within (24) hours. Certainly, they should be able to speak with a staff person when they contact the office. And attorneys – if they’re not immediately available – will try to get in touch with the clients within a day or so.

We focus on slip and fall and trip and fall cases. As a result, we sue a lot of the same types of defendants around town. We know the attorneys that are going to be defending certain entities here in Phoenix, and so we know what to expect in litigation, and we know what we need to do in order to achieve a successful result.

A lot of the clients that we talk with have been rejected by other attorneys who think their case might be too hard and they don’t want to take it to trial. We’re different, and we will talk to those clients, and a lot of times we’ll take those cases, and we’ll prosecute them. If you’ve been turned down by other attorneys, and they’ve told you that your case is just too difficult, and they don’t want to handle it for you, or maybe they did a little work on it but they decided that they didn’t want to move forward with it into litigation, contact us, www.azpremiseslaw.com.

Property Damages in Phoenix

I don’t understand why law firms don’t help injured victims out with their property damages. We at Wattel and York have a property damage division dedicated to serving our clients, whether that be getting your vehicle repaired properly, or getting a fair market value on the total loss. You know, if your vehicle needs to be repaired, it needs to be repaired properly and safely.

Insurance Companies

Insurance companies cut corners these days and they make money by having you go to their shops. Why, because they control the labor costs, because they can put the parts that they want on your vehicle. We recommend you get it repaired at an independent body shop, not one that’s contracted with an insurance company through a direct repair program. We recommend you have OEM parts utilized in the repair, not after market parts. Those after market parts may not fit. In addition, they may nullify your manufacturer warranty.

Wattel & York

Let us help you with the property damage portion of your claim. We do it without cost to you if we’re handling your personal injury claim.

Qualifications

Personal injury actions require, by their very nature, that someone be injured. The injury can be physical or in some cases, emotional. The general goal of a personal injury action is to place the blame for the injury on the party who caused it, and to require them to compensate the injured person for the losses they have sustained. So if you have been injured either intentionally or negligently, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim. If you have questions or would like to know more about personal injury, contact me at (602) 385-6818 or email me.

Diminished Value in Phoenix

We hold ourselves out as some of the leading attorneys anywhere on diminished value. Diminished value is the depreciation that your vehicle suffers following an accident once your vehicle is properly repaired. It’s not that your vehicle is totaled, but it’s repaired and now has less value in the market place than it did before the accident.

Diminished Value Claims & Appraisers

To pursue a diminished value claim, we hire an appraiser. An appraiser is someone who has the ability to evaluate the value of the vehicle before the accident and the value of the vehicle now. Often times, it may be in the value of (20) twenty, (30) thirty, and even (40) forty percent of the fair market value of your vehicle. Why, because now you can’t sell that vehicle in the open market place. You can’t get a retail value. You try to go trade it in, the dealership knows that it’s been involved in a wreck. As a result, they don’t want to take it in, because they can’t make a profit on it. So, you’re likely only going to get a wholesale value.

Wattel & York

Why do most attorneys not pursue the claims? Because, it doesn’t benefit them. We’re looking out for your best interests, whether it be something as simple as a diminished value claim, or as extensive as a significant injury claim. We’re there to do everything that it takes to get you fully documented on all of your claims.

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.
