GILBERT PERSONAL INJURY FAQs
ANSWER:
Personal injury is the area of law devoted to restoring accident victims to the extent possible through financial reparation. The most common type of personal injury claim is car accidents, meaning an insurance provider typically acts as the defendant. The accident victim can either negotiate a settlement with the defendant, or argue their claim for damages before a jury.
ANSWER:
The industry standard for personal injury attorneys is 33%. That means whether you settle with the other party out of court, or you win your case at trial, your attorney will take one third of your award.
ANSWER:
Because our attorneys know how difficult it is to make ends meet after an accident, our attorneys only charge 25%. This leaves more money for your future care, retirement, children’s college, or whatever else you would like.
ANSWER:
Hiring a personal injury attorney will usually result in securing a larger settlement or trial award. An attorney will handle all aspects of your case from the moment you retain. Communications, both from the court and from the opposing party, must go to your attorney, eliminating the possibility of miscommunications and missed deadlines. Your attorney will find and analyze evidence and calculate your damages using employment and medical records. Your attorney will handle negotiations with the opposing party and draft or review settlement documents. If the case proceeds to trial, your attorney will argue your case before the jury and handle the appeals process if necessary.
ANSWER:
In Arizona, the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit after a car accident is 2 years. Those who were a minor when in an accident can either have their claim brought by their parent or legal guardian, or bring the claim themselves within 2 years of turning 18.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
You should first pull over to a safe area to investigate the damage to your vehicles. Seek immediate medical attention if necessary. You may want to call the police so that a police report can be issued. Take pictures and videos of the scene and talk to witnesses, if applicable. You will then need to report the accident to insurance and begin the personal injury claim process.
ANSWER:
This can depend on the severity of your injuries, or how long medical treatment takes. However, our attorneys will coordinate with medical experts to project the cost of your future care to expedite the personal injury process. The best way to estimate how long your case will take is by calling for a free consultation.
ANSWER:
You may or may not have the choice about seeking medical attention, depending on how severe the accident is. Even if you feel fine, you should see a doctor when you have a chance within a few days of your accident. Some injuries may be minor but have more serious and permanent consequences. For example, whiplash is a common injury from the most common type of car accident, rear end collisions. Whiplash symptoms may take months or even years to develop, so you should visit a doctor to see if you are at risk of hidden injury.
Our Gilbert Personal Injury 25% Fee Advantage
When you’ve been in a serious accident, your personal injury award is meant for important aspects of your life, like your future medical care and future lost income. That’s why we disagree with personal injury attorneys who take up to one third or more of their clients’ awards. After paying medical bills and debts incurred due to missing work, this simply doesn’t leave enough left over for the accident victim.
Types of Gilbert Injury Cases that We Handle
Our attorneys also have experience handling cases on behalf of minors. Medical treatment, and therefore future medical care, is often handled differently for children as their bodies aren’t fully developed. Some of their awards will also need to be held in a trust, all of which our attorneys will be able to assist you with.
