Arizona Personal Injury Laws

Steps to Take Following Automobile Collision

After you’ve been in a collision, one of the main things you’re worried about is getting your vehicle fixed, and if there are any injuries, you’re worried about the appropriate steps to take to get better.So the most important advice I can give you is follow your doctor’s advice.

Once you’ve had a couple of days to collect your thoughts, then you can worry about calling an attorney or finding out what type of help you need. What you really want to do is practice preventative driving. That’s what we’re seeking to do through these lawsuits, through making the claims, is to help make the Arizona roads safer. We have to drive on these streets as well and we want them as safe for our families as we can have them.

One of the main ways to improve the community is to learn from mistakes, and that’s what we’re mainly focused on here Friedl Richardson is community safety.

My name is Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC. People ask, “To settle my case, will I have to go to court?” That’s not the right question to ask. A real question is, “What do I have to do to get fair compensation?”

What we have found – over the 25 years that we’ve existed at Jones Raczkowski – is being prepared to go to court results in fair settlement. If the other side knows that you have a lawyer who will represent you and take your case to trial, in fact that’s one of the ways that you become a certified specialist like me which is you’ve taken (X) number of cases to verdict and your hair’s changed color over the course of time.

Nevertheless, nobody wants to go to trial, that’s understandable but if you’re prepared to go to trial, you’re more likely to get fair compensation which is why you need an attorney who will go with you to trial if that is necessary. If you have a serious personal injury case please contact us at Jones Raczkowski PC (602) 840-8787.

Phoenix Car Accident Claim Process

So, you’re involved in an accident, your vehicle has been damaged, is it repairable, is it a total? We’re going to help you out with that. If it’s repairable, you got a diminished value claim. We’ll help you pursue that as well. You need some medical treatment? We’ll make sure you get to the appropriate providers.

Once you’ve got yourself well, then it’s time to try and settle your claim. We’ll present a demand to the insurance company, document all your losses, medical expenses, your out of pocket expenses, your lost wages, value for pain and suffering, and we’ll give them an opportunity to pay you fair value.

And, if they choose to do so, great. If on the other hand, the insurance company wants to be stingy, we’ll litigate and we’ll force them to pay you fair value. Come to us and that’s what you can expect.

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.

Phoenix Premises Liability

So, you’ve fallen because that employee mopped the floor and didn’t put up a warning sign. The lumbar was stacked too high, came down on top of you, caused you injury. Or you know what, those steps at your apartment complex, the concrete ones that were cracked, finally gave way when you were walking down. All of these are examples of premises liability cases.

Wattel & York

We handle premises liability cases. Many attorneys shy away from these cases, because they require time, they require effort. We pursue them vigorously. If you think you have a premises liability case, because there was a hazard, or an employee caused you harm when you were in their store, give us a call. We’ll evaluate. We’ll pursue your claim just like you were injured in an auto accident. An injury is an injury. You’re entitled to reasonable necessary medical care and thereafter, adequate compensation.

Friedl Richardson is concerned about community safety. We have to live in this community and we want it to be safer for us, for our families, and for our community. What we’re trying to do is make the community safer. Whether a person harms another person intentionally or chooses to break the rules that govern every member of society, whether it’s traffic laws, whether it’s bicycle laws, whether it’s homeowner’s laws, by enforcing those rules, we make the community safer for everyone.

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.

Personal Injury Case Process in Phoenix

A personal injury case can take anywhere from six months to two, or several years or more to resolve. Different factors can affect his time period. Most important is the medical treatment you receive for your injuries. Many people have to undergo physical therapy, chiropractic or other treatment following an injury. More serious injuries may begin with a period of conservative care and move to other types of treatment including surgery. Neither our firm or the insurance company can place a value on your injuries until you have finished your course of treatment. When your treatment has completed, we will obtain all necessary reports and forward them to the insurance carrier for the negligent party. Settlement negotiations then may begin. If the case cannot settle, a lawsuit may need to be filed. Most cases resolve without trial, although there may be cases that because of the nature of the accident, the case may proceed to trial.

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.
