This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

Challenges of Suing a Corporate Defendant

If you are suing a corporate defendant, you should be ready for every excuse in the book as to why they can’t give you the compensation you deserve. When our Tucson personal injury attorneys go after a corporation, we hear the same reasons over and over again.

A company is usually worried about losing profit as a result of making its products safer. This same company that makes millions of dollars every quarter won’t add a standard safety feature that only costs the manufacturer $100 to make.

These tactics are common among big corporations, but our personal injury team is ready to take them on. If a corporation’s negligent actions caused the death of a loved one, our wrongful death lawyers can help you get justice and compensation for your loss. We can answer any questions you have about your case.

How the Tucson Wrongful Death Legal Process Will Unfold

The first thing that your wrongful death attorney will do is talk to you about the case. They will likely ask you a bunch of questions during the initial consultation to learn more about the facts. After all, since you only pay them if you win, they want to make sure that you have a plausible case before they invest the time fighting for you.

After that, your personal injury lawyer will begin to investigate and learn more about what happened to cause your loved one’s death. At this phase, they will begin collecting and gathering the evidence that you would need to prove the negligence that is a prerequisite for legal responsibility.

They may speak with witnesses and consult with experts to help assemble your case. At some point, they will be ready to file your complaint or claim. This could happen quickly, depending on the strength of the evidence in the case.

Should I File an Insurance Claim or File a Lawsuit in Court?

You have two different ways to get financial compensation in your wrongful death claim, and our wrongful death lawyers in Tucson can help with both.

Insurance Claim

Since there is an insurance company involved, you could try to explore a claim and settlement agreement with the insurance company. There is a claims process that you would follow, submitting evidence of someone else’s legal responsibility and your damages.

They may then offer a settlement, and you would negotiate the amount. This is not an easy process because insurance companies often make an initial low settlement offer and only raise it after your lawyer rejects it on your behalf and intensively negotiates.

Lawsuit

The other option is filing a wrongful death lawsuit. If you try to work with the insurance company, it does not keep you from filing a wrongful death claim at another time. You can do it at any time before the statute of limitations expires if the insurance company denies the claim or if they are being unreasonable in settlement negotiations.

Sometimes, this is the best way to show the insurance company that you mean business and that they should not try to take liberties with your legal rights. Many families will file a wrongful death lawsuit right after the accident. A settlement can still be negotiated during the process without ever needing to go all the way to trial. In fact, a court hearing is very rare.

Why You Need to Begin the Legal Process Now

Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the family member’s passing, though there are some rare exceptions. For example, a person who does not learn of the death immediately may be given more time to file a claim.

A wrongful death attorney in the Tucson area can help families understand these deadlines and identify who is permitted to file a lawsuit.

Nonetheless, the legal process associated with a wrongful death claim could drag on, especially if the defendant digs in their heels and fights. This is why you need to begin the process early. If you wait to file a claim or hire a lawyer, you could have to go much longer without getting the money you need.

Seek Help from a Tucson Wrongful Death Law Firm

If you have recently lost a loved one, you may be experiencing a lot of emotional pain. Though no amount of money can bring back your loved one, filing a wrongful death claim could provide you with an opportunity to recover damages for your losses. An attorney could help you seek justice for your family.

Take action today and make the call to our Tucson wrongful death lawyers at Zanes Law. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, but the legal process often favors those who act quickly. To get a free consultation, call us or fill out our simple form found on our contact page.
