In Arizona, personal injury cases occur every year and they involve a situation where someone is injured because of another’s negligence. These types of accidents often occur on the roadways. One driver may be speeding, texting while driving or driving drunk and cause an accident. If you have been injured in this type of accident, then you may have a personal injury claim.
Personal injury cases also occur in the workplace. You might be run down by a careless forklift driver and receive lacerations and broken bones. You might be exposed to toxic substances that cause a severe illness. Electrocutions are another common workplace accident. Personal injuries can also happen at home and often the victims are under the age of five years old. A toy is defective or malfunctions causing a child to choke on a small part or otherwise be injured by it.
Personal injury claims can arise out of an animal attack, a recalled vehicle, a defective medical device or a drug recall. Just about any type of accident you can think of where someone is injured because another person, company or entity was somehow negligent can result in a personal injury claim.
Accidents like this are unexpected and they leave families with high medical bills to pay and weeks of recovery where the victim may not be able to work. In some cases, there are property damages to consider or ongoing medical needs. A family can quickly be overwhelmed by all these problems. But by filing a personal injury lawsuit, they at least have the opportunity to recover their expenses and financial losses.
Often, an insurance company will take advantage of a family’s shock and urge you to settle your case for a much lower amount. If you do sign away your legal rights, then you cannot change your mind later and file a suit. That’s why most attorneys advise victims to have a lawyer present at all negotiations. Generally speaking, those who have legal representation will walk away with a larger settlement.
In Arizona, there’s a statute of limitations on most types of personal injury claims. This means you have a set time limit where you can file. Once the time has expired, you will not be able to file a claim. Often, those who file a claim right away fare better in the legal system than those who wait for months before filing.
