Arizona Personal Injury Laws

Bicycle Accidents in Phoenix

I’m a bicycle enthusiast. I know how unsafe the roads are for bicyclers. You’re riding along, the car ahead of you is stopped, looks off one direction, doesn’t look back your way. You got trouble. You’ve now just been run over. Happens all the time. I represented a lady not to long ago with an accident just like that. I got her more than a million dollars. Now she was deserving of every penny, because her injuries were significant and severe.

Insurance Companies

A lot of times insurance companies want to blame you because you’re on the bicycle. Well you know what, a lot of times they’re wrong, and they may just be saying that because they’re hoping you go away.

Wattel & York

Well, you give us a call, and let us evaluate the liability on that claim, and who’s really responsible. Often times, it’s not you, the bicyclist. We’ll help you get your medical care and thereafter, we’ll make sure that insurance company pays you what you’re due. Either voluntarily, or if necessary, to litigate.

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.

My name is Mark Raczkowski and I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. My recommendation is that you do not speak with an insurance representative before you’ve had an opportunity to speak with an attorney about the personal injury that you suffered. Insurance adjusters have one job, and that is to pay you the smallest amount of money possible on your claim. And the way that they can do that is by getting information from you. Some of that information, they may not even be entitled to, and so it’s important that you speak with an attorney before you start divulging information that may be detrimental to your claim on down the road. Before you speak with an insurance representative contact me at my website www.azpremiseslaw.com.

My name is Mark Raczkowski. I’m an attorney at Jones, Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. One of the most frequent questions I get is, what is the value of my claim?  Honestly, it’s hard to know what the value of a person’s claim is until a lot of information is learned. The value of a claim is based primarily on the medical expenses that a person incurs as a result of treatment for their serious injury. But you can also claim damages for lost wages, lost future earnings, as well as the pain and suffering associated with that serious injury. Until you have all of that information, it’s hard to say what the value of a claim is. But once all that information is learned, you have a better idea based on our experience of these types cases to determine what the appropriate value of a claim is. If you have more questions about the value of your claim reach me at www.azpremiseslaw.com.

My name is Mark Raczkowski. I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. If you plan to file a lawsuit I recommend you hire an attorney. But before you speak with any potential defendant or reach out to any potential defendant I recommend you speak with an attorney as well. Most people have never handled a serious personal injury on their own, and therefore have a lot of questions that need to be answered and those questions are best handled by an attorney with experience in serious personal injury matters. If you have additional questions feel free to reach me through my website at www.azpremiseslaw.com.

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.
