Arizona Personal Injury Laws

Succeeding in a Malpractice Case in Orlando

To succeed in a medical malpractice case in Florida, there are three things you have to prove. You have to prove that the doctor was negligent and deviated or fell below the standard of care, then you have to prove that that negligence caused your harm, and then we have to prove what your damages are. So there are three things you have to prove to be successful in a malpractice case. Until we get your records and have them reviewed by experts, we don’t really know if the doctor has fallen below the standard of care. So if you have a question about that and would like us to review your records for free, call me. Nathan Carter at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter, 1-800-49-LEGAL.

Personal Injury Case Process in Phoenix

A personal injury case can take anywhere from six months to two, or several years or more to resolve. Different factors can affect his time period. Most important is the medical treatment you receive for your injuries. Many people have to undergo physical therapy, chiropractic or other treatment following an injury. More serious injuries may begin with a period of conservative care and move to other types of treatment including surgery. Neither our firm or the insurance company can place a value on your injuries until you have finished your course of treatment. When your treatment has completed, we will obtain all necessary reports and forward them to the insurance carrier for the negligent party. Settlement negotiations then may begin. If the case cannot settle, a lawsuit may need to be filed. Most cases resolve without trial, although there may be cases that because of the nature of the accident, the case may proceed to trial.

If you would like to know how long your personal injury case might last, please contact my law firm.

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 is Mark Raczkowski. I’m an attorney at Jones Raczkowski PC in Phoenix, Arizona. The biggest difference between slip and fall cases and other personal injury cases is that most of the time the defendants deny that they’re responsible for your injuries. As a result you have to sue them in order to get the compensation you deserve. My office has spent more than (25) years focusing on slip and fall/trip and fall cases. So we’re prepared to sue defendants if necessary in order to get the compensation that you deserve. It means we’re able– we’re willing to put in the time and the effort that it will take to prosecute the case and to achieve a satisfactory result for you. If you’ve suffered a serious injury as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, contact me through my website at www.azpremiseslaw.com.

Jones Raczkowski PC has been around for more than (25) years, doing essentially the same work that we’re doing now. Our work is premised and our longevity is built upon client satisfaction. Most of our business has been built on word of mouth from clients, from other lawyers, doctors, and various people in the community. One of the things we pride ourselves on is educating clients as to the process, so that the client understands, through staff or the attorneys, what will happen to them, when it will happen, what the likely result is – the process. You can look at all the paper and all the credentials, but sometimes it just comes down to looking somebody in the eye, speaking with them face to face, and deciding, “Do I trust somebody?” because any attorney-client relationship is built upon trust.

If trust exists, things are going to go fine. If trust does not exist, it’s not going to go fine. One of the things that you get with our firm is, when you come in, and we’re about to retain you, or you’re going to retain us, is you’re always going to meet with an attorney. So you get that eye-to-eye, face-to-face meeting if you’re local, here in Arizona. At the time you retain us as your attorney, not only are you getting an attorney, but you’re going to get a retained paralegal who’s going to be assigned to your case. The paralegal is your direct communication, although you have the direct email of the attorney and the attorney’s direct line. You’re not getting an email that goes to some third party or something like that. When you get my email, you’ve got my email. I also have a telephone number. And I put my direct-dial on my cards, which means it rings at my desk. And if I don’t pick it up, it goes to my voicemail – not some third party’s voicemail. It goes to mine. I try to return calls within (24) hours.

But one of the things that we have is if a client has been unable to speak with their attorney, for whatever reason, they can call the assigned paralegal and say, “I want a telephone appointment with that attorney.” And it gets calendared for a specific time and a specific date, for a discussion, for the attorney to call you, or for you to call the attorney, so that hopefully any problems regarding communication get nipped in the butt. If you think you have a case like that, talk to us at Jones Raczkowski, (602) 840-8787.

Phoenix Personal Injury

If you’re injured, call 911 or the police. If appropriate, request that a report is made. Do your best to write down information on all involved persons, witnesses, insurance details, vehicle descriptions including the vehicle license number of witnesses, time of day, place and date.

Medical Attention

Immediately seek medical attention. Your safety is priority one. Many injuries may not seem that significant at first, but may become more serious over time. Keep all of your medical records.

Contact Attorney

Consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as practical. There may be things that the personal injury lawyer can do in the short term to help you through the recovery process. You may have questions such as who is responsible for repairing your vehicle, paying for your medical care costs, paying for your rental car and finding qualified medical care. A personal injury lawyer will make sure that all of your rights are protected.

Remain Silent

Make sure that you do not talk to anyone about the accident that led to your personal injury. Never talk with or give a recorded statement to an insurance company, even your own until you first speak with a lawyer. These statements may later be used against you.

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.
