Arizona Personal Injury Laws

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.

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

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.

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.
