Determining if you have a scooter accident case and if so, the value of that case can be difficult without knowing the full details about the specific incident. However, we understand that as an injury victim, you may be unable to work or have bills from medical treatment that need to be paid and consequently, you may have questions about your potential case.
At Phillips Law Group, we can help to provide answers to those questions. By completing our “Free Case Evaluation” form or by calling our firm for your free consultation, we can begin to obtain some of the information about your incident and determine if you have grounds to file a claim.
When an accident lawyer handles a case, the victim usually receives more compensation compared to those that do not use a lawyer.
In Arizona, accident victims have two years to file their lawsuit…
In Arizona, most injury lawsuits need to be filed within 2 years after the accident. However, there may be certain circumstances that extend this deadline OR bring it forward.
Under the “Discovery Rule”, plaintiffs may be eligible for an extension if they are able to prove that they were not aware that they were injured until after the event took place. For example, a scooter rider that was hit from behind by another vehicle may not have a sore neck at the time of the incident however, a few days later, they may have significant pain from the whiplash caused in the crash.
A reputable lawyer may help to identify this information and incorporate it into your potential lawsuit.
Following a collision, insurance companies may also become involved in proceedings. Many injury victims are not aware that any statements and/or signed documents that are given to the insurance company may be used against the victim in an effort to discredit their claim.
Experience has shown us that insurance companies are only interested in settling the claim as quickly as possible, for little or no financial outlay. Their primary obligation is to shareholders – not to injury victims and their families. Having a lawyer on your side can help to ensure that your interests are being protected. By acting as your representative, we can handle all of the inquiries from the insurance companies so that you can focus on the recovery process.
