Arizona Personal Injury Laws

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.

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.

My name is Mark Raczkowski, and I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. Under most circumstances, if you slip and fall on somebody else’s property, they will not cover your medical expenses. Depends on what type of insurance coverage, if any, that they have as well as what assets they might have. But if you slip and fall and been seriously injured on someone’s property, the first thing you need to do is speak with an attorney that is familiar with the types of issues that come up in slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases. My office has focused on slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases for more than 25 years, and we know what to expect with regards to defendants that own property where people have been hurt.

Cyclist Personal Injury Litigation

One of the great things about being from Arizona of course, is our weather. And the weather invites people from all over the country to come in on their bicycles, and share our highways and our roads. And one of the things that Friedl Richardson is concerned about, is educating the public as to the rights of those bicyclists.

Three Foot Law

One of the laws that are so important in Arizona governing bicyclists, is the three foot law. When you have an absence of bike lanes, and you have bicycles sharing the highway with motorist, it’s important for the motorists to realize, that he has to allow three feet from the bicyclists. And the bicyclists have rights available to them through Arizona laws, through municipality laws.

That really protects them on the streets, with or without a bike lane. One of the things that we see so often on the Phoenix streets, and in Maricopa County, are bicycle collisions. That’s a vehicle to bicycle collision. And generally these collisions happen, because the vehicle is inattentive. In most situations throughout our state, the bicycle has the right of way in any type of vehicle bicycle encounter. Whatever it takes to make these highways safer, that’s our goal.

Bad Surgical Outcome Litigation in Orlando

A lot of clients call and ask us if they can bring a case after a bad surgical result. A lot of times early on we don’t know if the bad result was the result of negligence or just a bad outcome. A lot of things can happen; infections, injuries, nerves can get cut even if the doctor doesn’t do anything wrong, but there are cases where the doctors or nurses are negligent and cause harm. So until we get the records and have them reviewed by experts, we really don’t know if you have a case. So if you have a question about whether or not you have a malpractice case, call me, Nathan Carter at Calling, Gilbert, Wright, and Carter at 1-800-49-LEGAL.

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.

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.
