ANSWER:
Personal Injury is an area of law for people who have been injured in an accident. It is a tort, or a civil case that will result in a money judgment, not jail time. The most common type of personal injury claim is a car accident, but you can also bring a personal injury claim after a dog bite, slip and fall, and other types of accidents.
ANSWER:
There are many types of costs that can be included in your personal injury settlement. These include medical costs, time off work, alternative transportation, future medical costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more. You should contact an attorney to help you determine the value of intangible costs like pain and suffering and emotional distress. You may need to hire expert witnesses to predict what your future medical costs and other expenses will be.
ANSWER:
Once you have sought medical treatment for your injuries, you should contact a Tempe Injury Attorney as soon as possible after being in an accident. Witnesses’ memories will fade, and evidence could be damaged or lost, so it is best to get an attorney involved early on. This will also prevent you from making statements that could damage your case to the opposing party.
ANSWER:
You will pay nothing up front for your Tempe Injury lawyer. Their fees will be deducted from your award, whether it is obtained through settlement or trial.
ANSWER:
Most lawyers will charge about 33%, which they will take out of either a settlement agreement or your jury award.
ANSWER:
While other attorneys can take as much as a third of your award or more, our attorneys take a more reasonable fee of 25%. If your damages are in the thousands, or the hundreds of thousands, that extra 8% will really start to add up.
ANSWER:
Tempe Injury Lawyers are paid on a contingency basis, meaning they don’t get paid if they lose your case. Your attorney must secure a settlement agreement or a verdict in your favor to be paid.
ANSWER:
The Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury claim in Arizona is 2 years from the date of injury. Your case will be dismissed if you fail to file it within that deadline. There is an exception for accident victims who were under the age of 18 at the time of the injury. If the child’s parent or guardian doesn’t bring a claim on their behalf before they reach adulthood, the child will have 2 years to bring their claim once they turn 18.
