DO I NEED A PHOENIX CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER?

In the event that you are involved in a car accident, you will need to file a claim with your insurance company. This is the case with both single and multi-vehicle accidents. Sometimes, the claims process goes smoothly, and the victim is fully compensated for damages. However, you may need an attorney if the insurance company is giving you problems. Because insurance companies want to lose as little money as possible, they may rush to make you an offer so you’ll settle for an amount that is far less than what you deserve. This is unfair, and it’s what we fight to protect our clients against.

You may also need a Phoenix car accident lawyer to represent you if the at-fault party is a municipality or a large business. Sometimes, car accidents are caused not by negligent drivers but by negligent automobile manufacturers or careless municipalities that do not take care of their roads. Auto accidents caused by road defects as well as vehicle defects deserve tough representation from tough attorneys who are prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

CONSIDERING TO SELF-REPRESENT YOUR CASE?

HOLDING CAR INSURANCE
COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE

Insurance companies can participate in a number of “bad faith” practices, such as wrongfully denying your claim or avoiding your attempts to contact them. The at-fault driver or their insurance company might also attempt to shift liability for the accident onto you. We won’t let this happen. The Phoenix car accident attorney at Friedl Richardson know how insurance companies work; consequently, we understand how to protect our clients from these bad faith practices.

frequently asked questions

There are several steps you should take after being hit by another motorist. First of all, stay calm. Getting upset or angry only makes the process more difficult. Second, call the police no matter how minor your accident may seem and be sure to call an ambulance if necessary. Third, exchange personal contact and insurance information with all other parties involved; this step is required by law. Fourth, in a safe manner, document the crash by taking pictures and writing down notes. This evidence could be invaluable when you file a claim. Fifth, speak to the police and provide a straightforward, unbiased statement without admitting fault or “pointing fingers.” Sixth, speak with your insurance provider to explain that you were involved in an accident and to find out what aspects of the damages are covered. Seventh, contact a lawyer to help you file a successful personal injury claim.

There is no way to determine exactly how much a claim is worth from the very beginning. Estimates can be made, but an exact value is not possible since there are so many variables. Many aspects of your claim have a set economic value, such as your medical bills, while others have no economic value, such as your pain and suffering. Friedl Richardson can skillfully investigate your case and provide as accurate an estimate as possible regarding the value of your claim.

The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years as stated in A.R.S. §12-542. This means that you have two years from the time the accident occurred to file a claim and fight for compensation. If you wait too long, you forfeit your chance to receive compensation for your injuries and other damages. This same statute of limitations also applies to medical malpractice and wrongful death claims.

Each personal injury case is unique and takes an undeterminable amount of time. Cases that settle tend to be resolved more quickly than those that go to trial. Some cases can take only a few months to complete, while others can take several years. At Friedl Richardson, we fight tirelessly to obtain the highest amount of compensation in the shortest amount of time.

If you are being denied the coverage you deserve under your policy, don’t be surprised. Insurance companies have been known to try to trick clients into accepting less coverage than they truly deserve. Hire a personal injury lawyer from our firm to work with your insurance company and obtain the settlement you deserve. We are also ready to take your case to trial and litigate for a fair trial verdict if that’s what it takes to obtain the compensation you need.

Without an attorney by your side, there is very little chance that you will be able to obtain the highest possible amount of compensation. Only a lawyer will have the experience and the knowledge to maximize your payout. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience and are prepared to use their knowledge and experience to your benefit.
