The Maricopa County city of Tempe, Arizona, contains an estimated population of 174,091 and is located in the East Valley of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Bordered by other major Arizona cities, Tempe is west of Mesa, east of Phoenix and Guadalupe, south of Scottsdale and north of Chandler. Tempe is considered to be the most densely populated city in Arizona, and welcomes residents and daily visitors to enjoy creative events presented at Gammage Auditorium and Tempe Center for the Arts. With such a busy population, accidents such as a slip and fall incidents in Tempe can occur from time to time, which can bring to light certain premises liability issues.

The aftermath of a slip and fall accident can be a disheartening experience that many times leaves a person feeling overwhelmed regarding his or her legal rights. A slip and fall accident can happen in a public environment at no fault of the injured individual.

When a public business or private land fails to give notice of possible danger on their property, the owner of the premises can be held liable for their negligence.

Arizona Personal Injury Lawyer Encourages Injured Claimants to Use a Diary

2010-03-11T14:00:00Z

“If it isn’t written, it didn’t happen.” Every personal injury claimant should consider this statement. We often use it in our office. The statement, at its root, is of course not true, as many things occur that were not written down. We also know that many other things that are written were written down inaccurately.

It is an unfortunate truth that Arizona personal injury cases are not based on the truth. They are instead based on facts, but are rather decided upon evidence. Evidence is not necessarily accurate, and it may not even reflect what actually happened.

For this reason, anybody that considers filing a personal injury claim should also seriously consider keeping a diary, though it is best to speak with an experienced Arizona personal injury attorney to guide you in this decision. There are definite risks in keeping a diary. They need to be kept accurately and consistently, including certain types of things that a personal injury lawyer may wish to deal with in trial. Yet there may also be advantages to not keeping a diary.

]]> As experienced personal injury attorneys, however, we know how powerful documented evidence can be when a plaintiff is asked about all the ways in which their injury affected their life. Jurors in a personal injury case who hear about the difficulties arising from a particular injury are more likely to be affected by such testimony.

As with any other matter that relates to serious personal injury claims, it is most important to find a top Phoenix personal injury attorney who can offer advice on whether keeping a diary is a good idea with your particular personal injury case. Speaking with a good personal injury lawyer will also help you avoid someone turning the diary against you by twisting your words.

Do Not Talk to the Other Person's Insurance Company Before Talking to an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney

2010-03-10T15:00:00Z

As a specialist certified by the Arizona State Bar in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, I am surprised at how many people trust the insurance company for the driver that caused the accident, yet distrust a lawyer that they hire. More specifically, people often refuse to even consider hiring a personal injury attorney. Instead, many attempt to handle an accident injury case on their own, and end up speaking directly to the insurance company representing the person that caused the injury.

Now, I understand that I am an attorney that deals in Arizona personal injury law, and so realize my own bias when I write about trusting a personal injury lawyer before trusting the other side’s insurance company. Yet I also know that I help people who are hurt due to someone else’s negligence.

But the reason we bring this up is not to plug our Arizona personal injury firm, or even myself as a personal injury lawyer. Yes, we do pride our efforts in fighting for our clients. Further, we know that we deal in a straightforward manner with our clients and are always honest with them so that they know what lies ahead. But as experienced personal injury attorneys, we also know how to protect our clients from making mistakes that might jeopardize their claim. We understand that it is neither about our firm nor is it about our top notch personal injury lawyers, but about having experienced legal representation when speaking with an adverse insurance company about a personal injury claim. And the more serious the personal injury claim, the truer this is.

]]> The insurance company for the party that caused an injury to you is not on your side. They are not supposed to be. Instead, their concern is for the shareholders, who are the owners of the insurance company, and they do everything they can to ensure a profit for the company. The money they save, however, comes at the expense of someone who has been seriously injured. That is why it is a mistake to think that an insurance company in any personal injury claim will be fair.

It is for these reasons that we encourage those who have a serious personal injury, auto accident claim, or any other personal injury claim to speak with an honest Scottsdale personal injury attorney before talking to the adverse insurance company. Insurance companies try to twist your words against you, and may even claim you said things that you did not say. An injured person’s interests are not the most important to any insurance company, even if the insurance company is not at all dishonest. They are not concerned about your rights, but about money.

If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, go to a good personal injury lawyer and get your questions answered. Only after speaking to an attorney that deals in personal injury law should you consider whether it makes sense to talk to the insurance company.

Surprise Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Attorneys

2010-03-09T23:05:56Z

The rapidly growing city of Surprise, Arizona, is approximately populated by 90,717 people as reported by a 2007 census; almost triple the count since the 2000 census. In December 2008, Surprise showed further signs of development when the Demographic and Permit statistics department took a count and found a new population of 109,672. Surprise, located in Maricopa County, also has a significant population of senior citizens, who live in an age-specific retirement community called Sun City Grand. The community is an offset of another large market of homebuilders and homebuyers who are attracted to Surprise’s fairly-priced homes and the city’s accessibility to state capital Phoenix. With many residents and a consistently growing population, it is no shock that Surprise experiences its share of personal injury on the local roads and major highways including instances of motorcycle accidents, which can lead to brain injury.

An estimated 85% of all traffic deaths in the United States will be attributed to a motorcycle accident. Many of those fatalities are preventable with proper precautions, such the use of a helmet. The sad fact is only half of the nation enforces a helmet law, despite that a helmet can protect bikers from fatal head injury. However, a helmet will not completely shield riders from disaster, and the remaining 50,000 who suffer annually from serious motorcycle injuries may have been harmed by another person’s negligence or distracted driving habits. Drivers who are not focused, or even intoxicated, can cause severe injuries at no blame of the motorcyclist. Severe injuries can involve intense physical discomfort, emotional misery, and at worst, a critical injury to the brain.

Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is the repercussion of a heavy hit to a person’s head or a penetrating blow to the skull. TBI can happen in the aftermath of a motorcycle collision, or any accident that disrupts the natural activity of the brain. An annual approximation of 1.4 million people will suffer from TBI. Although a variety of accidents can trigger dysfunction in the brain, a motorcycle accident in Surprise can significantly increase the chances of traumatic brain injury. If you have been personally injured in a motorcycle accident, or were the victim of brain trauma, a skilled Surprise brain injury attorney is available to assist you in receiving compensation for your losses.

Mark and Alexis Breyer, Husband and Wife pair at Breyer Law Offices, P.C., know how painful a motorcycle injury or brain accident can be for a person and their loved one. The dedicated attorneys have worked diligently with accident victims for years, and have helped the injured recover their physical, financial and emotional expenses in Surprise city trials. Distracted and intoxicated drivers do not have to get away with their negligence, and a motorcycle accident attorney can defend your rights.

Five Reasons to Not Hire a Top Personal Injury Attorney to Aid in an Insurance Claim after an Accident that Results in Injury

2010-03-09T15:00:00Z

Insurance companies always try to do what is fair and just, and are not just focused on profit or their bottom line.
When their client is at fault, an insurance company will always admit it. They would never dream up ridiculous arguments to try to take the blame away from their negligent client, especially if the person injured was not at fault. An insurance company will, in fact, do an investigation so that the person injured by their client will be treated fairly, even if doing so involves admitting fault and accepting total responsibility.
Insurance companies never would deny that the people they insure did not cause an injury when they were negligent in a car accident. Insurance companies are far too moral to blame pre-existing conditions to avoid paying your claim in full. And they certainly would never hire doctors who would try to deny that it was their client that caused an injury.
An insurance company would never attempt to short change a payment to a person injured due to the negligence of someone they insure and, in fact, will always agree to settle amicably with the injured party for full and fair compensation. The insurance company will never make an injured person go to extreme lengths to prove how the injury affected his or her life, and will readily offer to pay every penny that is deserved in compensation.
Insurance companies will admit exactly how much is available to pay a claim. An injured person never needs to worry that the insurance company will deny that other insurance policies exist that can also be claimed against. Insurance companies are very helpful, and will readily share information about other insurance policies the negligent party holds with them that are available to claim against.

]]> Anyone who believes these five listed reasons are accurate does not need to ever hire an experienced personal injury lawyer in Phoenix. If, however, you realized the tongue in cheek nature of this commentary, you can imagine the direness of the situation when someone has been involved in an accident resulting in serious injury and then considers moving the claim forward. Insurance companies should not be allowed to take advantage when someone they insure has negligently harmed another person.

For an honest assessment of your claim from a personal injury attorney that does nothing but aid people who have been involved in serious accidents that result in injuries, we invite you to call us at Breyer Law. Even if you just need answers to basic questions to help you decide how to move forward, we will answer your questions accurately and in a straightforward manner so that you can decide whether to pursue your personal injury claim.

Have You Proved an Arizona Personal Injury Case?

2010-03-08T15:00:00Z

Top Arizona auto accident lawyers explain to their clients the uphill battle that is often faced in today’s anti-plaintiff climate. There has been so much misinformation and insurance company advertising and propaganda against honest and serious personal injury claims, that overcoming the preconceived notions of many jurors can be difficult. This is why it is so important to make sure that every injury that is suffered is documented as soon as possible after an accident.

Many people make the mistake of not following up with their doctor when they are in pain following an auto accident because they think they will “get better.” Well, of course you should hope to get better. In fact, there is a very good chance that you will “get better” and will not have needed to go to that extra doctor or to get that extra documentation.

However, the best personal injury lawyers do everything they can to insist upon their clients getting to medical providers and following up as much as possible to eliminate anybody later claiming that they did suffer the injuries that they did in fact suffer. In fact, the real danger is in the situation where an injury, though apparent, does not seem to be as serious as it turns out to be. For instance, it is not unusual for people to suffer shoulder pain and discomfort immediately following a serious car accident. Usually that shoulder pain will resolve on its own. However, what happens to the person who waits a month to follow up with their medical provider and it turns out that the reason they have been unable to move their arm is because they had a rotator cuff tear? What about the person who suffers a torn labrum after a car accident and they fail to follow up with the doctor immediately following the accident and in the days and weeks that follow? What happens is that very often the insurance company for the driver who caused the accident will use that delay in treatment to claim that it was not the car accident that led to the serious shoulder injury.

]]> It is for this reason that it is so important to make sure you document everything and eliminate or reduce the ability of the at-fault insurance company from denying compensation to which you are entitled under the law.

If you are facing a situation where it is not too late to get treatment, we encourage you to get any treatment you may need to get better and to document your claim. If you have missed the opportunity to get that documentation and an insurance company is trying to deny your claim, please do not hesitate to give the skilled Phoenix personal injury attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. a call so that we can discuss the opportunities that may be available to you to try to prove, rightfully, the injuries you suffered as a result of a serious car accident.

Phoenix Bus Accident Injury lawyer and certified specialist discusses recent tragedy

2010-03-07T13:00:00Z

As has been reported by the AP, a bus coming from Mexico to LA was involved in a horrific crash in Sacaton, AZ. Families of those who were tragically killed and those who suffered serious injuries undoubtedly are overwhelmed with concerns and issues most could not begin to imagine. At Breyer Law Offices, our hearts go out to the families of all involved. We know that no words can begin to express the sorrow that is being felt. We also know that, before long, there will be people associated with the bus company that may look to take advantage of families during this terrible time, trying to cut off their rights to recover. In fact, it is likely that there were lawyers and paid experts at the site of the crash for the bus company within hours, maybe even before the police had finished their investigation.

What is a family to do when faced with such a concerted effort to “change history” for the purpose of minimizing legal liability? We strongly encourage anybody who knows someone involved to reject any phone calls or contact with any representative of the busing company. As soon as there is someone in the family who can take the lead emotionally, we strongly encourage anybody involved to contact a certified specialist in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, so that the bus company – and any person responsible for this regrettable tragedy – is held responsible.

Phoenix Bus Crash Update: Tierra Santa Inc Not Licensed

2010-03-06T10:00:00Z

A video report posted on azcentral.com has new details regarding the fatal phoenix bus crash that killed 6 people yesterday. According to the report, the company that owned the bus which was traveling from Zacatecas, Mexico to Los Angeles was not licensed to transport passengers.

The Phoenix bus accident attorneys at Breyer Law Offices have seen first hand how stressful legal issues are for clients and their families. They also understand the tragic consequences a personal injury or wrongful death can have. The Breyer Law Offices will continue to monitor the investigation regarding these tragic deaths and provide information to it's readers as it becomes available.

Fatal Phoenix Bus Crash Takes 6 Lives, Injures 16 More

2010-03-06T01:50:42Z

According to the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a bus that was recently involved in the fatal accident that took six lives on Interstate 10 just south of downtown Phoenix was being operated illegally. According to an Associated Press news story, the bus, that had been traveling from Central Mexico to Los Angeles, was carrying 22 passengers at the time of the crash in Sacaton, AZ. Reportedly, the bus rolled over after striking a pickup truck, and the six passengers were thrown from the bus in the process, all of whom died. The remaining 16 passengers on the bus were all injured, as was the driver. Injuries sustained during the crash were mostly deemed serious, and resulted in catastrophic injuries such as broken spines and head injuries. Further investigation into the accident is still pending.

Transportation officials revealed that the bus company, Tierra Santa Inc., had been told that it was not allowed to permit its vehicles to engage in commercial interstate transportation of passengers, yet it was doing exactly that at the time of the Phoenix bus crash. While it remains to be seen to whom liability issues will be assigned, many instances involving bus accidents often result in both the driver and the bus company being deemed at fault. According to the article, police are investigating to determine the state of mind of the bus driver at the time of the accident, particularly if the driver was suffering from fatigue, as well as the maintenance history of the bus. Bus companies have an obligation to ensure that their vehicles are properly maintained, and that their drivers do not violate federal transportation guidelines by driving more hours than they are permitted to in a 24-hour period.

Details regarding this horrible fatal Phoenix bus accident are still being uncovered and the bus accident attorneys at The Breyer Law Offices will continue to monitor new information regarding the crash as it becomes available.

What Should I Do after a Car Accident in Arizona?

2010-03-05T15:00:00Z

Several Arizona car accident personal injury lawyers are familiar with how many people do not know what to do after a serious car accident claim. The reality is, most people who are seriously hurt are not in a position to try to do much that can help their case other than knowing not to talk to anybody from the other insurance company and to focus on getting better. However, many times there are family members who would like to be of help. They need guidance in terms of what to do. There are some general first steps that can be taken.

First, take pictures. Take many pictures - when you think you have taken enough pictures, take more. Pictures of what? Anything that could later be disputed. Pictures of the car. Pictures of the roadway. Pictures of anything near the area where the accident occurred. Pictures of any injuries suffered. Pictures of the hospital room. The reality is that you never know what will be contested down the line. Many, many things that seem obvious at the time of any injury are later contested by the other insurance company or defendant. Therefore, every single digital photograph that you can take is worth taking to help the person who suffered an injury.

]]> Undoubtedly, it is uncomfortable to take pictures of somebody while they are in the hospital or after they have suffered a serious injury. I do not deny the fact that it is a sad state of events when someone has to be photographed to prove the injuries they suffered. However, this is not something that was created by plaintiffs, but by the insurance companies that refuse to pay on even the most obvious claims. Therefore, pictures of somebody in the hospital, the hospital environment, pictures of the injuries they suffered (from the most serious injuries right down to the bruises) can all be important.

It is also a very good idea to follow the doctors’ advice that is given and to help a family member make sure they make all appointments. Taking these steps will greatly reduce the likelihood of a long, drawn out battle over things that could have been proved with a simple photograph or a simple follow up appointment to the doctor. Getting it “documented” can be very helpful to the person who has suffered a serious personal injury.

I Have Received a Subpoena after a Car Accident I Did Not Cause: What Should I Do?

2010-03-04T15:00:00Z

In helping people who have suffered serious injury as the result of the negligent driving of others, it is not uncommon for the person who caused the accident to contest the traffic citation or ticket that they received. When they contest the ticket and push it all the way to a “trial” on that traffic ticket, the person who is injured will often receive a subpoena. Under the subpoena, they are required to appear at court. This causes a great deal of concern to many people.

First, understand that you are subpoenaed to be a witness, you are not “on trial.” Instead, although you were the one who suffered the serious injuries, you are also a witness to what occurred. Therefore, an experienced Phoenix personal injury attorney knows that it is very common that you would be asked to provide that information in order to ensure that the citation or traffic ticket against the person who caused the accident is upheld.

]]> Second, your failure to show up at this hearing will never be of benefit to you down the road. It may look as though you are trying to avoid answering questions about the accident. Remember, it is likely only going to a traffic hearing because the other person denied responsibility. Therefore, whatever help you can give to help make that traffic citation “stick” may later help prove your case, in any event. Third, it is a very good idea to sit down with a personal injury lawyer in Arizona before you move forward on that subpoena. Make sure your bases are covered. Make sure you understand the type of hearing you are going through. Perhaps, it may be helpful to discuss what may take place and the questions that you may be asked.

If you have received a subpoena for a traffic court hearing, please do not hesitate to contact us at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We will be happy to try to explain the process to you so that you know how to handle your situation. Although we do not handle traffic tickets in our office, we do help many people who have suffered very serious injuries as a result of car accidents, and therefore this is an issue that we see on a regular basis.

Is it Okay to Give a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company?

2010-03-03T15:00:00Z

Personal injury lawyers in Phoenix will very rarely advise their clients or potential clients to give a recorded statement to an insurance company. Also, where this recorded statement is appropriate, if a recorded statement is going to be given, it should almost always be given with your lawyer at your side.

Very often, the insurance company will claim that a recorded statement is required. However, when dealing with the insurance company for the driver who caused an accident, there is no law that requires a recorded statement. The reality is that this is more of a tactic used by the insurance companies to try to get something recorded that they can later twist and use against the person who is injured.

Many times I have told people not to give a recorded statement and they object by pointing out that they will just tell the truth. Well, of course they will tell the truth. You are required to tell the truth. If you are going to work with any lawyer that is any good, they will not work with you if you do not tell the truth.

However, ask yourself whether or not you can trust the insurance company to use that statement honestly or, in the alternative, if they might look to find ways to twist your words and use them against you. If they really just wanted to know what happened in the accident, why do they insist upon recording the statement? They could simply ask you what happened? They could ask you to put it in writing? However, if they just ask you what happened they won’t be able to twist your words against you later, or at least it becomes more difficult to do so.

]]> If you put it in writing, it is much less likely you will say anything “off the cuff” without thinking about it and much less likely that you would try to write anything up if you were still under the influence of having narcotics due to the pain that you are in. However, these disadvantages and many more exist in the case of giving recorded statements.

We strongly encourage you to not provide any kind of recorded statement or have any direct communication with the other insurance company without first talking to and getting a consultation with an Arizona personal injury lawyer that can advise you as to your rights and give you guidance in terms of how to pursue your claim. At Breyer Law Offices, P.C., are always happy to take phone calls from people who have these questions and to give them our honest assessment on the best game plan for them in terms of moving forward and trying to achieve a fair result in their potential personal injury claim.

Florence Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Attorneys

2010-03-02T18:00:00Z

The desert scenery that frames the city of Florence, Arizona, is one of the many attributes that draw residents and creative-thinkers to experience its wealth of culture and history. Florence is one of the oldest towns in the state and proudly stands as Arizona’s sixth oldest European town. Major Directors have traveled to film the region’s backdrop, notably its well-kept Main Street. Although the city roads are carefully maintained, with such a growing population, the unfortunate reality is that sometimes motorcycle accidents take place in which a motorcyclist may suffer brain injury or other afflictions.

The tally for motorcycle accident death has reached a national high of 85% of all traffic fatalities, not including the number of serious injuries that an approximate 50,000 people suffer each year. However, a motorcycle operator in Florence can take certain precautions against injury, such as wearing a helmet, properly riding the motorbike, or even paying careful attention while sharing the road. Nevertheless, far too often, a negligent driver, and not the motorcyclist, is responsible for a collision taking place, thus causing serious injury in many cases, or even death.

A critical injury that motorcyclists may suffer is brain injury, or even worse, traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is caused by a sharp hit to the head or penetration to the skull. Brain injury is not only a common consequence of motorcycle accidents; an annual 1.4 million patients will seek treatment for TBI, including surgical procedure, prescribed medication, and grief counseling. The consequences of brain injury can be physically damaging, emotionally lasting and can severely strain the patient financially. During such challenging times, a Florence Arizona brain injury attorney can help an injury victim fully recover from brain trauma suffered due to another person’s negligence.

If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, or suffered as the result of someone else’s negligence in a motorcycle accident, Husband and Wife Law Team, Mark and Alexis Breyer from Breyer Law Offices, P.C. have the knowledge to navigate your case through the Florence legal system so you can receive proper compensation for your losses. The Florence personal injury lawyers know your rights and will work diligently to obtain the positive results in a trial. Call Breyer Law Offices today at 520-624-4228 to receive a free, no obligation consultation of your case.

Text Messaging While Driving Becomes a Personal Injury Case

2010-03-02T14:00:00Z

As experienced Arizona personal injury lawyers, we have seen the repeated and devastating effects of negligent driving. However, with the increased use of text messaging, there has been a nationwide increase in serious traffic accidents and people killed on our roadways as a result of others who choose to text message while they drive. Texting and driving is inherently dangerous. Now falling under the phrase "distracted driving" in many articles, this activity is not only potentially criminal, but there are also personal injury lawsuit ramifications.

The Arizona Supreme Court has already found punitive damages appropriate for those who drink and drive. However, those who make mistakes while they are driving but have no intent to cause harm – known as negligence under the law – are not responsible for punitive damages. In other words, those who drink and drive not only have to pay for the lost wages, medical bills, and other legal compensation owed to the person they have harmed, they also might be fined significant amounts of money to both punish the person who decided to drink and drive as well as to send a message to others not to do so.

]]> Our courts have not yet decided whether or not texting and driving will fall under the drinking and driving category as a known risk that is chosen to be pursued or whether it will simply be considered negligent. Perhaps it will be decided on a case-by-case basis. However, for the person whose life has been devastated or who has suffered a serious injury as a result of somebody else texting and driving, hiring an experienced lawyer who not only is willing to take the case to trial, but if necessary will take the case through the appellate process may be a very important first step to ensuring full and fair damages are recovered.

If you or anybody you know has been a victim of an accident that was caused by somebody who was text messaging while driving, please call the Phoenix cell phone car accident attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. and we will be happy to discuss the many different options that may be available to you in pursuing your claim.

Under Personal Injury Law Employers Are Liable for Employees Who Text Message and Drive

2010-03-01T22:01:15Z

Arizona has long adhered to "vicarious liability" for employers and their driving. In other words, somebody who is working for another company and is in the "course and scope" of their employment when they cause a car accident in Arizona not only create liability for themselves – the driver – but also for the company they are working for. We see this commonly where somebody runs a stop sign, runs a red light, or turns left in front of somebody else while they are working.

This is the type of simple negligence that would automatically make the driver responsible. However, Arizona, like many states, also makes the employer liable for the actions of their employee done while that person is still "on the clock." Similarly, text messaging while driving – while the driver is working for somebody else – will not only create liability for the driver but will also create liability for their employer.

]]> As a firm that does nothing but help people after they have suffered severe injuries due to car accidents or other personal injury situations, we strongly encourage the employers in Arizona to immediately implement a no texting and driving policy. In addition to the laws to that effect, the fear of losing one's job may prevent people from sending those text messages which cause them to be distracted and lead to serious injury situations.

If you or anybody you know has been the victim of distracted driving and has suffered injury as a result, please do not hesitate to contact the skilled Phoenix auto accident injury attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We will explain the rights that you have against the driver, any potential employer, and any other entity that may have caused or contributed to the injuries that you have suffered.
