A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who assists individuals injured in accidents caused by someone else’s careless, reckless, or even intentional actions. Phoenix personal injury attorneys help these victims seek compensation for their injuries through the personal injury claims process, in Phoenix, Arizona. This process involves first seeking compensation from the at-fault party’s related liability insurance policy.

For example, if your injury resulted from a car accident caused by a negligent driver, you would generally seek compensation by filing a claim against the at-fault party’s auto liability insurance policy. If a slip and fall in Phoenix caused your injury, you would likely seek compensation from a commercial or business liability policy.

A personal injury attorney in Phoenix provides services to determine who was liable for the accident that injured you, who carries their liability insurance, and how much insurance is available. Your attorney also establishes a value to your claim and communicates with the insurance provider on your behalf.

If the insurance company fails to pay the claim in full or fails to offer a fair settlement to resolve the claim, your injury attorney can file and prepare your litigation case. They can represent your case in court and assist you in collecting your settlement or award.

In Phoenix and throughout the state of Arizona, the statute of limitations in both personal injury and wrongful death claims is two years from the date of the accident or death. Failing to file your personal injury claim in court by this date often surrenders your right to seek compensation. If you can no longer file a lawsuit in court, there is no legal recourse if the insurance provider fails to pay your claim.

Arizona allows personal injury claimants to seek economic damages, which refer to payment in compensation of expenses such as:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Property damage you incurred as a result of the accident

Additionally, claimants can seek non-economic damages, which compensate for your quality-of-life impacts, such as:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of the enjoyment of life

In some cases involving extreme recklessness, punitive damages are also available. This compensation punishes the defendant.

If your injury resulted in medical expenses and income loss, it is severe enough to seek compensation. Let the experienced Phoenix personal injury attorneys at Hutzler Law evaluate your case and examine if you have a claim likely to result in a settlement.

When an individual dies in Arizona from a wrongful act, neglect, or default that would have entitled the deceased to personal injury compensation if they had survived the incident, certain family members can seek compensation through a wrongful death claim. Those who may file the suit include the deceased’s spouse, surviving children, or surviving parent. Additionally, the named executor of the deceased’s estate can file the claim if there are no surviving family members.

Luckily, the billing method used by most personal injury law firms ensures that anyone who needs a lawyer can afford one. The contingent fee billing method allows you to withhold payment for your attorney’s services until your claim has a positive outcome. This method means no retainer, no hourly billing, and no worrying about your case stalling because you aren’t current with your payments.

Valuing a claim correctly can be complex. Many factors play into how much a case might be worth, including the extent, nature, and severity of your injuries, the defendant’s conduct, the facts and circumstances of your case, and others. An experienced personal injury lawyer understands how to properly value claims to ensure that injury victims recover compensation that will pay for all of their losses.

Many insurance companies and lawyers use a formula to value personal injury claims. They will first find the value of your special damages or economic losses. To figure out how much your general damages might be worth, they will take the total of your medical expenses, multiply them by a factor that ranges from one to five and then add in your income losses. Insurance companies typically use a lower factor while attorneys use a higher factor.

The amount that is determined is simply a rough estimate. What you might recover may be lower or higher, depending on the length of your expected recovery, the permanence of your injuries, the quality of your medical evidence, and others.

Your injury attorney may work with medical and financial experts to calculate your future anticipated losses. After your attorney has valued your claim, you will be presented with a range of monetary values within which a fair settlement should fall.
