No Fee Unless You Win
Each established, highly experienced Scottsdale personal injury attorney within the Gage Mathers team speaks with countless clients who want to assess their right to compensation or find out what settlement their personal injury claim will likely achieve. While our knowledge guides and resources offer a wealth of information about Arizona personal injury law, we’d always recommend getting in touch to discuss the specifics of your case in greater detail.
In the meantime, we have collated some of the frequently asked questions about filing a personal injury claim to clarify the most requested answers. You’ll also find some general guidance in our earlier article outlining the personal injury law basics Scottsdale.
Understanding state law is important since statutes of limitations, damages caps, and other rules vary between areas. In Arizona:
Another relevant state law means that there are no caps on the damages you can be awarded. Although claimants in Arizona cannot pursue public organizations for punitive damages, there are no other limitations on the amount you can claim or the value a court may award in more serious and complex cases.
There isn’t any definitive list of injuries or accidents that can prompt a claim. Instead, your lawyer will assess the injury or harm suffered and the party culpable for breaching their duty of care.
Personal injury claims are often linked to vehicular accidents involving cars, trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, and boats. However, they can also include medical malpractice suits, product liability cases, claims for slips and falls, and premise liability cases. Any accident that was preventable and due to negligence on the part of another party may mean you are entitled to claim damages.
The first step is to contact Gage Mathers for a confidential discussion about your case and the injuries suffered. This could include physical injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, back and neck injuries, or brain injuries, but it may also include mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety.
Personal injury claim victims may also be entitled to claim damages for ongoing or secondary harms, such as infections that have resulted from an injury that was not their fault. We work closely with each client to collate evidence and documentation, prove the burden of responsibility, and assess the full compensation value we believe you should receive.
Most people recognize their right to claim damages to cover medical bills, therapies, damage to their property, and lost income when recovering from an accident. However, there are numerous potential factors to consider, such as:
Placing a monetary value on these elements can be difficult. Still, we offer support throughout, ensuring you pursue compensation payments not solely for the quantifiable costs of your injury but the long-term repercussions.
In almost every case, a personal injury claimant represented by a skilled legal representative has a higher chance of success and receives a larger settlement figure than if they were to enter into negotiations alone. Insurance companies and their lawyers are well-versed in personal injury claims; they may use a wide range of tactics to try and force the claimant to accept a minimal compensation payment that does not represent their entitlement or the damages caused by the at-fault party.
We help our clients hold negligent defendants accountable, secure sufficient compensation, and handle all negotiations, offering independent guidance to ensure you make informed decisions. Please get in touch with the Gage Mathers team if you have questions or would like to arrange a time to discuss your personal injury claim!
