Arizona Personal Injury Laws

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’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.

Unsafe Premises

Well one of the main things we’re worried about at Friedl Richardson, are unsafe premises. And premises are generally unsafe, because the owner of those premises, be it a supermarket, a retail establishment, or any other commercial building, chooses to violate building codes, and make their premises dangerous for the people they’re inviting on-board to buy their product.

The most common ways that people are injured on premises are ways in which it would be so easy for the premises owner to have avoided. Quite often it’s just something that the premises owner puts up to look good. Something the premises owner puts up temporarily. Something the premises owner puts up that attracts people into their business, yet is unsafe. And those are the most common ways people can be injured when they’re in and out of commercial establishments.

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 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.

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.

About Jess Lorona

My name is Jess Lorona, I practice personal injury and civil litigation at the law firm of Lorona Mead PLC. I’ve been practicing law for 31 years. I am a native Arizonan and because of that, I have a lot of experience with all of Arizona.

Experience

I think that people hire me because of my experience and the training that I’ve had. I believe people hire me because of the fact that I’m a judge pro-tem. I serve as a judge in various courts. Having experience in all of these courts gives you the ability to, in any situation, know how to handle a case and I think that’s very valuable for any lawyer. I think my approach to law is based upon my experience, my experience in the courtroom, my experience outside of the courtroom.

Key Differences

I think that what makes me different from other attorneys is I have compassion, I’m a very caring person and I’m very humble. I believe I’m very concerned with a client’s needs. I always maintain contact with my clients. I make sure that they feel comfortable with me and with their case. You know, clients always have questions and concerns. A lot of times they don’t know the system and have never been involved with the system before and because of that, they’re very scared. They may have a million questions. They really don’t know what’s going on so it’s our job to make sure that they feel good. I think I can help my clients by understanding their needs. They need to feel it’s ok to call you on the phone everyday. They need to feel it’s ok to send you an email to ask you questions. They need to feel like their questions are important. We need to treat all of our clients like they’re important and their questions are important. I make sure that they know that I care about their case and I care about them more particularly. And I think that the client needs to know at that first meeting that hey, Jess is going work really hard for me, no matter what he’s going to work hard for me.

Lorona Mead

In today’s day in age, less and less cases settle, so a lawyer has to be ready to fight a case. I will fight to the end. I will take the case to trial and do whatever is necessary to make sure that my client achieves a result that is beneficial to him or her. If you want an attorney that’s honest and dedicated, then you should call me, Jess Lorona, at (602) 385-6818 or email me.
