Tucson Serious
Injury Attorney

Were you badly injured in Tucson? As seasoned personal injury lawyers, we’ve seen firsthand the pain that a careless person or company can inflict on another human being. While nothing can take away the nightmare you’ve endured, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Personal injury claims can be complex and involve extensive investigation, documentation, and litigation. Still, whoever caused your accident must be held responsible. To recover compensation from the at-fault party, you should seek legal representation through the qualified Tucson serious injury attorneys at Zanes Law.

Why You Shouldn’t Accept an Early Insurance Settlement After a Serious Injury

If you were just recently injured, you probably do not yet know the full extent of your injuries. Don’t make the mistake of relying on the insurance company’s estimate of your damages. Instead, allow our team of attorneys to conduct a case review to determine the cost of your injuries based on your future prognosis and the total value of your pain and suffering. 

While serious injuries require immediate medical attention, it can take months to determine the treatments you may need, such as rehab or surgery. We hope this isn’t the case. But you may also experience complications at some point, prolonging your recovery. Additionally, you could receive unexpected medical bills months after you’ve completed your treatment.

The insurance company knows that if you accept an early offer, they can avoid paying for any long-term problems that arise from your injuries. If their offer fails to consider future treatment or the pain and suffering you’ve endured since the accident, you should talk to an attorney who could help you negotiate a better payout.

Why You Need an Experienced Tucson Lawyer

Without professional legal help, the personal injury claims process can be difficult and frustrating. A seemingly small mistake on your part can lead to a delay in your settlement or a significantly reduced payout.

Experienced personal injury lawyers know how to gather the necessary evidence and documentation, work with local law enforcement, and help you understand the relevant liability laws. Additionally, a serious injury attorney in Tucson will be familiar with Arizona court procedures, which can help expedite your case.

Once you’ve retained an attorney for your injury claim, the insurance company can no longer contact you directly. Any questions, requests, and other communications should be referred to your lawyer. You’ll value the time this saves when you are busy with physical therapy, resting per doctor’s orders, and hopefully catching up at work.

Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

While no money can eliminate the pain and hardship you have already gone through, filing a personal injury claim may help you recover the monetary compensation necessary to begin recouping your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

By filing a personal injury claim, you may be able to obtain restitution for the following:

• Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
• Lost wages and future earning capacity
• Physical rehabilitation

In addition, you may also be entitled to compensation for the immaterial losses you’ve experienced, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Loss of companionship
• Diminished quality of life

Our Tucson team can help you determine the kinds of compensation you may be entitled to after a severe injury. We can pursue every legal option available to assist you in recovering compensation for the pain you’ve endured.

Proving Negligence in a Tucson Serious Injury Claim

Being injured in an accident does not automatically mean an involved party owes you compensation. For someone else to be liable, their negligence or recklessness had to have caused your injury, and you must show that this person or entity owed you a duty of care. 

You must also prove that you have damages and that without the other party’s action (or inaction), you would not have incurred these losses. In the state of Arizona, you must prove:

• The other party owed a duty of care 
• The other party breached that duty
• You were injured and incurred damages as a result of that breach 

In many cases, liability is clear, and the only matter to be resolved is the value of your damages. Other times, liability is unclear. In both of these situations, an experienced serious injury lawyer in Tucson can help you obtain and present the evidence you need to achieve a favorable outcome.

Time Is of the Essence in a Personal Injury Case

States have time limits for plaintiffs filing civil lawsuits, which can differ by the type of claim. These time limits, called statutes of limitations, are meant to ensure that claims are made while evidence is still fresh and to prevent the threat of a lawsuit years after the event in question took place.

ARS § 12-542 states that you have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are certain exceptions. For example, if you have a hidden injury that you discover later, the statute of limitations begins on the date you discover that injury. 

The two-year deadline is for court lawsuits; however, insurance companies may require you to file a claim within a day or two of the accident.
