My name is Mack Jones and I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC, a personal injury firm here in Phoenix. What is fault? Fault is how we determine responsibility for a serious personal injury. Many people think that simply because you fall on somebody else’s property that they are responsible because you got hurt. That’s not the case. You have to prove fault. Fault is negligence on the part of the property owner. In Arizona, both parties can be at fault. Meaning that you, the injured person, defendant may assert that you bear some responsibility as well. It’s up to your attorney to try to get as much fault assessed as against the defendant, and as little fault assessed as against you. Which will increase and maximize your monetary recovery for the injuries sustained. If you have questions about a serious personal injury, please contact me at Jones Raczkowski PC, (602) 840-8787.
