When you hire us, you're adding unmatched experience to your team, ensuring you get the best possible outcome.

No one ever expects to be involved in a car accident, suffer an injury, or need to begin looking for a Phoenix car accident attorney.
With the help of a Phoenix wrongful death lawyer, you should receive compensation for your losses.
When you are hurt in an accident, our Phoenix slip and fall lawyers are only a phone call away.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Phoenix understand how dangerous it can be to ride a bike. So much so that we have created safety articles for years.
We do more than guide you through the days immediately following your accident. When you meet with our team for a consultation, you can discuss how you’d like to pursue compensation for your losses. You can either discuss a settlement in negotiations or pursue a traditional trial.
A traditional trial allows you to state your case before a jury and judge. After exchanging information during discovery and presenting your opening statement, our attorneys can bring in witnesses to attest to your lack of fault. Bystanders and expert witnesses can speak to the value of your case and convince a jury of your right to compensation.
That said, you retain the right to pursue negotiations before and during a civil trial. Negotiations tend to take less time than rollover trials. However, you may be expected to compromise on the amount of compensation you initially requested. Our attorneys can advocate for you to receive what you requested, challenging any attempt by the liable party to shrug off their responsibilities.
In the immediate aftermath of your rollover accident, you have a limited amount of time to gather evidence of a violated duty of care. When you gather both physical evidence and the names of witnesses who can contribute to your case, you make it easier for an attorney to establish liability later down the line.
We name specific parties liable for your losses when we have the evidence available to back our statements. With that in mind, we can name parties other than your fellow drivers as liable for your losses. Your rollover accident claim can also address:
So long as you have the evidence you need to defend your assertion of liability, you can request that the named party compensate you for your accident’s economic and non-economic losses. Be sure to include an estimate of your desired compensation in your complaint that includes:
Arizona’s understanding of comparative negligence is a generous one. The state allows victims of a rollover accident to file for compensation even if they contributed a substantial percentage of fault to their accident. In fact, victims can file even if they contributed 99% of an accident’s fault.
That said, Arizona reduces the amount of compensation a rollover victim receives from their case by the percentage of fault they allegedly contributed to their accident. For example, a settlement of $100,000 can drop to $50,000 or less if you contributed 50% or more to your accident.
With this in mind, you can work with a Tucson, AZ, rollover accident attorney to contest any accusations a defendant makes regarding your role in your accident. Alternatively, you can come to a settlement agreement outside of court to avoid putting a percentage of your settlement at risk.
Arizona Revised Statute § 12-542 controls the amount of time in which you may submit a complaint regarding your rollover accident losses. According to this statute, you must file your complaint within two years of the day your rollover accident takes place. If you don’t act within this two-year period, Arizona can deny you your right to legal action.
Rollover accident attorneys in Tucson, AZ, want to help you get back on your feet after an accident. Whether that means pursuing compensation via negotiations or preparing for a civil trial, the team with Zanes Law can stand alongside you.
You can discuss what your post-accident legal process should look like during an initial case consultation with our team. You can contact us by calling our office or by reaching out online to schedule your first appointment.
