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

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.

Surprise Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Attorneys

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

  1. Insurance companies always try to do what is fair and just, and are not just focused on profit or their bottom line.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Have You Proved an Arizona Personal Injury Case?

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.

What Should I Do after a Car Accident in Arizona?

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.

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

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.

Text Messaging While Driving Becomes a Personal Injury Case

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.

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

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.

Experienced Arizona Injury Lawyer Discusses Wage Loss Claims

It is not enough to hire an aggressive car accident lawyer in Arizona. In fact, any lawyer can claim that they are an aggressive personal injury lawyer, when in fact they may not have the experience or the track record to back that claim up. Avoiding simply using the label “aggressive” as a way to mask any lack of experience or track record of taking cases to court, it is important to consider how complicated an Arizona personal injury claim can be and how important it is to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

One of the areas this is most commonly addressed is when it comes to making sure that someone who has suffered a serious personal injury is reimbursed for their lost wages.

As a matter of law, someone who causes a personal injury, and when that personal injury leads to the person being unable to work, the person who suffered the injury is entitled to complete restitution and full payment and reimbursement of every dollar lost as a result of being unable to work. On top of that, a person who has suffered a serious injury is also entitled to money that they may lose in the future as a result of an inability to continue to do the job that they once did.

Phoenix Insurance Claim Lawyer

Phoenix, Arizona auto accident lawyers deal with insurance claims on a regular basis. In fact, with most personal injury attorneys, bringing a claim against the insurance company for the driver at fault is a major part of what is done for the client on a daily basis. Many people who have been involved in an accident do not understand the role of the insurance company for the adverse party.

Insurance companies make a profit, in part, by minimizing the amount they pay somebody who's been injured as a result of the negligence of their insured driver. Many people believe that they can negotiate with the other insurance company for a "fair" settlement. However, it is very important to keep in mind that it is not the role of the other person's insurance company to act in a fair manner. Instead, they will usually take every step possible to minimize the amount of a claim they make.

Filing an insurance claim is not the same as filing a lawsuit. The steps that need to be taken, the deadlines that exist, and the games that may be played by the adverse party are very different. The rules of evidence which apply in a personal injury trial in the State of Arizona do not come into play with almost any of the negotiations that could take place with an insurance company.

Do I Need a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer or a Car Accident Lawyer?

When somebody has been injured while they are crossing the street or standing on the side of the road, they are often at a loss as to what type of lawyer they need to hire. Are they better off hiring a car accident attorney? Or is it best to find a pedestrian accident lawyer? The reality is that we believe you should find the best Arizona injury lawyer you can find. Almost all the top lawyers have extensive experience in dealing with both helping car accident victims and helping people who have been injured as a result of a negligent driver while they were walking along the road.

Many people ask if there are differences between helping people who have been injured as pedestrians versus helping people who were in a car when they were hurt. Yes, there are differences. There are laws that apply to pedestrians that do not apply to vehicles. Moreover, we very often see a bias among people who could end up on the jury against people who are pedestrians. In fact, we have seen times where that bias even filters down to the investigating police officer. This is not done intentionally in almost any case, but we often see a predisposition to blame the injured person who was walking along the side of the road even if a clear evaluation of the facts should lead to putting more blame upon the vehicle involved.

Not Wearing a Seatbelt May Impose Serious Consequences beyond Physical Injury

When you wear a seatbelt, this will allow you to receive full compensation in the event someone causes a serious injury to you in an auto accident in which you were not at fault. In Arizona, even if someone admits they were completely at fault for an accident, and that person admits that his or her negligence caused the accident, this negligent driver can get away with paying nothing or next to nothing.

As personal injury lawyers in Arizona, we know that if the negligent party’s defense can show that the injured person would have eliminated or decreased the possibility of injury by wearing a seatbelt, this could definitely happen in an Arizona courtroom. The degree to which the seatbelt would have prevented injury will lessen any compensation the injured party gets, even if the liable driver admits fault. In Arizona, the injured party would then get stuck with medical expenses, as well as losing out on lost income and other compensable claims for damages.

Consider too the medical expenses that are often associated with the injuries that result from a serious accident in which no seatbelt was worn. It has been reported that over half of all bankruptcies in the United States come about as a result of medical bills. So if you do not care about your physical health when it comes to wearing seatbelts, think about your financial health.

Ensuring Fair Compensation after Being Injured in a Chandler Motorcycle Accident

After a motorcycle collision, an insurance company may try to persuade an injured motorcyclist into believing that a settlement is fair, when in fact, it is not. Even though this is not always the case after a motorcyclist is injured by another person’s negligence in an accident, the reality, however, is that the party that is attempting to deny payment to a seriously injured person must first prove their case. By hiring experts, reviewing all the facts, and engaging a skilled Arizona injury attorney after a Chandler motorcycle crash, an injured person can prevent the liable party’s insurance company from denying fair compensation.

Another common way insurance companies try to deny compensation to someone who is legally owed payment on a personal injury claim is by not explaining the nuances of uninsured and underinsured motorist laws when it comes to Arizona motorcycle accidents.

Even if the motorcycle on which you were riding may not have any insurance on it for uninsured or underinsured motorists, if any vehicle owned by a family member living in your household has such coverage, it may very well cover your motorcycle collision. Knowing about underinsured motorist coverage is especially important, as so often the liable driver’s insurance company will not cover the full compensation for damages after a serious motorcycle crash.

Can an Injury Victim Still File an Arizona Personal Injury Lawsuit after Admitting to not Wearing a Seatbelt?

The simple answer to this question is yes. You can file a lawsuit for injuries you suffered even if you were not wearing your seatbelt. However, even if you prove that the other driver was negligent and that the injuries suffered resulted from the accident, you will still need to deal with another issue. The driver’s insurance company will most probably hire an expert witness to help develop evidence to the effect that the injuries incurred in the accident would not have been as serious if the plaintiff had worn a seatbelt. This in essence will determine the proportion of the responsibility for the injuries that were due to your negligence in not wearing a seatbelt, and the driver who caused the accident, as well as the driver’s insurance company, will not have to pay the difference.

Therefore, if it can be determined that a serious car accident in Chandler would have resulted only in a two day hospital stay and a broken leg if an accident victim had been wearing a seatbelt, but because he or she was not wearing a seatbelt, the injured person then received a serious brain injury, the insurance company would not have to pay anything for the brain injury. This is, of course, a hypothetical situation, yet it does show the financial disadvantages of not wearing a seatbelt in any car accident claim against a negligent driver.

Gilbert Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Lawyers

Gilbert is a large town in Maricopa County, Arizona and is a major part of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. With an estimated population of 216,449, Gilbert was deemed the fastest-growing section amidst all towns and cities in Arizona of all sizes between the years of 1990 and 2000. Similar to other large towns, motorcyclists have a prominent presence on Gilbert roadways. However, many motorists still do not share the road appropriately and motorcycle accidents happen from time to time as a consequence.

Motorcycle crashes in Gilbert can be caused by a negligent driver, a defective motorcycle or auto part, or even a dangerous roadway. No matter what the cause, a motorcyclist is at risk of suffering devastating injuries in the event of an accident even if he or she is wearing a helmet.

An experienced Gilbert motorcycle crash attorney may be able to assist an injured motorcyclist in their efforts to receive compensation for pain and suffering, loss of past and future earnings, property damage, medical bills, and much more.

One of the most catastrophic injuries a motorcyclist may endure in an accident is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is fortunate that several brain injury victims have a successful and full recovery; however, a large amount of motorcyclists who have suffered TBI may require long-term treatment or even 24-hour care for the rest of their life. If a brain injury is brought about by the negligence of another individual, the injured person may be able to obtain compensation to help pay for financial expenses associated with their injury, suffering and treatment.

Making Sure Medical Expenses are Compensated after a Car Accident in Chandler

While insurance issues and making sure that medical expenses are covered may not be the first thing on an auto accident victim’s mind, these issues inevitably come up. However, this is why underinsured motorist coverage can be beneficial for motorists to have.

What happens if the people responsible for causing the auto accident you are involved in does not have auto insurance? One option to consider is underinsured motorist coverage claims. Either an injured person’s own policy or that of a family member can begin helping to pay medical expenses and other costs related to the accident once the negligent party’s insurance has run out. Medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and anything else for which an injured party can legally collect damages related to the accident should be covered. ‘

So if a person caused an accident that resulted in $80,000 in medical bills alone, and the responsible party only had $100,000 of insurance, then the person’s policy would be nearly exhausted through the claims for the medical expenses alone. It would be imperative in a case such as this to investigate whether an underinsured motorist policy would apply.

Do Insurance Companies Try to Deny a Fair Settlement to Injured People after a Chandler, Arizona or Maricopa County Motorcycle Accident?

The negligent driver and the driver’s insurance company will do everything possible to deny payment to someone injured in nearly any Maricopa County motorcycle accident. Many of these games are the same ones that insurance companies play against seriously injured car accident victims. There are a number of things the insurance company will try to do in an attempt to deny motorcycle victims a fair settlement. It is because of the way in which insurance companies treat motorcycle accident victims that makes having an experienced personal injury Arizona lawyer so invaluable.

The plethora of ways in which an insurance company will try to deny fair payment is too long to list here. There are, however, some common issues that tend to come up. First of all, nearly anyone who rides a motorcycle in Arizona knows that helmets are not required for those over the age of eighteen. It is therefore legal for a person to ride a motorcycle anywhere in Arizona without wearing a helmet. There is also an Arizona law that allows the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident to deny payment if the motorcyclist failed to wear a helmet.

Tucson Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Lawyers

With its scenic surroundings, appreciation for the arts, and its flourishing culture, the city of Tucson has experienced a tremendous progression to being the second largest city in Arizona. In fact, Tucson is the largest city in southern Arizona with an approximate population of 525,529. Tucson is situated in Pima County and had an estimated metropolitan area population of 1,023,320 in 2008. Many residents of Tucson own motorcycles and several out-of-town and out-of-state motorcyclists are drawn to the city throughout the year. However, as a consequence of dangerous road conditions, negligent and distracted driving practices, and even defective motorcycle and auto parts, Tucson motorcycle accidents take place far too often and create serious consequences for injury victims.

Whatever the cause of a motorcycle collision in Tucson, if a motorcyclist suffers any physical, emotional or financial strain due to another driver’s negligence, the injured person may be able to obtain compensation to help cover a wide range of expenses associated with their injuries and losses. An experienced Tucson motorcycle accident attorney may be able to help an injured motorcyclist in their efforts with receiving monetary compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, physical therapy, loss of past and future wages, and property damage.

Brain injury is a common and tragic consequence of motorcycle crashes. Even when a motorcyclist wears a helmet, he or she is at risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the event of an accident. Some factors that may influence the severity of a motorcyclist’s injuries include the rate of speed at which the motorcycle and the vehicle(s) involved were traveling, whether or not a motorcyclist was wearing an adequate and properly secured helmet, whether or not protective gear was being worn, surrounding road conditions, and how a motorcyclist falls or lands. Treatment for brain injuries may last for years and even require a person to receive 24-hour care for the rest of their life. If a brain injury is brought about by another person’s negligence, an injured person may file a personal injury claim against negligent parties.

The Husband and Wife Law Team at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. have worked attentively to assist their clients with getting the best possible compensation for their motorcycle accident or brain injury case.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage in Arizona

In addition to a negligent party’s insurance, an auto accident injury victim may have coverage of which they are not aware. This is called uninsured motorist coverage, and this coverage pays out when there is an accident involving the insured in which the other party does not have insurance. Many times, an injury victim in Chandler, Arizona is afraid to file under uninsured motorist coverage because they do not know their rights in such cases.

Arizona law does not allow the insurance company to raise people’s insurance rates if they claim under their uninsured motorist coverage. Filing an uninsured motorist claim, known also as a UM claim, is the best way to protect your rights if the responsible party does not have insurance. The reason uninsured motorist coverage exists is to protect you in the event you are seriously hurt in a car accident in which the responsible party does not have insurance.

As Phoenix personal injury attorneys, we often explain that the law requires that everyone carry liability coverage. If someone were at fault in an accident, that person’s liability coverage will pay damages for those injured due to the driver’s negligence. Yet uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM and UIM) will protect those hurt due to someone else’s negligence in a motor vehicle accident when the at fault driver either has no insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover all damages. Not to pursue either uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage after a serious Arizona car accident would make very little sense in such cases.

Scottsdale Motorcycle Accident and Brain Injury Attorneys

Scottsdale is a prominent and popular city in Arizona with approximately 235,371 residents. Bordered by Phoenix and situated in Maricopa County’s eastern area, Scottsdale is widely known for its valuable real estate, pleasant sunny weather, and highly diverse culture. Often described as “a desert version of Miami’s South Beach,” Scottsdale attracts several motorcyclists who enjoy taking to the city’s scenic roads. However, motorcycle accidents have been known to occur in Scottsdale due to negligent drivers, defective motorcycle or auto parts, dangerous road conditions, or for many other reasons.

No matter what the cause of a Scottsdale motorcycle crash, a motorcyclist may suffer serious injuries due to being more exposed to the road and surrounding objects than those occupying a passenger vehicle or truck. When a motorcyclist is harmed physically, emotionally, and financially due to being injured in an accident, he or she may seek monetary restitution to help cover such damages. An experienced Scottsdale motorcycle accident attorney may be able to assist an injured motorcyclist in obtaining compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, property damage, and earnings lost.

As one of the most catastrophic injuries a motorcyclist may suffer, traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur even when a motorcyclist is wearing a helmet. The severity of a brain injury in a motorcycle accident in Scottsdale is typically affected by the size of the vehicle involved and its rate of speed. If a brain injury is brought about by another motorist’s negligence, an injured motorcyclist may hold them legally responsible. Brain injury may impose long-lasting consequences upon an injured individual and their family, which is why seeking compensation can be financially beneficial for the injured party. Such instances may also help prevent similar accidents to take place in the future if motorists realize there are harsh repercussions for driving negligently.
