How Can a Lawyer Help Prove Who Was at Fault?

Proving fault or liability is a key element in any motor vehicle accident case. Our skilled motorcycle accident attorney in Phoenix will conduct a thorough investigation to independently determine the cause of the crash and which party acted negligently. 

We will carefully review all available evidence, like police reports, witness statements, photos of crash scenes, and medical records. Our experienced lawyers understand how to interpret subtle details that might prove inaccessible on your own. We can also employ accident reconstruction experts to analyze physical evidence and draw conclusions. 

If needed, we make sure we question liable parties under oath during depositions to establish a clear record of who is at fault. Establishing fault is especially important in cases where liability is unclear or disputed by opposing insurance companies. As your lawyers at Zanes Law, we act as an objective party who advocates solely for you. 

We leverage our legal experience not just to assign responsibility but also to negotiate stronger compensation offers from at-fault policy providers once we clearly establish fault. By challenging liability claims, we can get you more damages after your case.

What Happens if You Don’t Call a Lawyer After a Crash?

If you decide against calling a motorcycle accident lawyer after you’ve been in an accident, you’re unlikely to recover the compensation you qualify for. You can miss out on economic and non-economic damages such as: 

If you’re unable to recover these damages, you will have to pay full price to recover from your injuries. Another consequence of failing to call a lawyer after a motorcycle crash is filing your personal injury claim on time. In Arizona, according to A.R.S. § 12-542, you have two years from the accident to file. 

These are just some of the risks you take by not calling a lawyer after your accident. To avoid these problems and get the maximum compensation, you should call a motorcycle accident attorney in Phoenix after you’ve been injured and received medical care.
