Obviously, the amount of medical bills, the amount of wage loss, the amount of the other person’s policy and the injured driver’s underinsured policy change on a case-by-case basis. But what’s essential is to purchase these additional coverage options to protect you or your loved ones if an uninsured or underinsured driver causes an accident while you’re on the road.
Finding underinsured motorist coverage and uninsured motorist coverage policies in particular can require an experienced Arizona personal injury trial attorney. A competent litigator knows how to locate the clauses in the policy that protect you by allowing full and fair compensation for everything you or a family member has gone through after a car accident.

One way an insurance company may deny compensation to someone who is owed payment on a personal injury claim is to not share the uninsured and underinsured motorist laws when it comes to motorcycle accidents in Arizona.
Even if you have not purchased uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage for your bike, the policy for any vehicle you own or any vehicle owned by a family member with whom you reside may be adequate to cover your motorcycle accident. This fact gains significant importance as soon as the medical bills following a motorcycle accident are too expensive for the other at-fault driver’s insurance company to pay. In this way, hiring an experienced Peoria, Arizona motorcycle accident attorney who understands Arizona insurance laws will increase the possibility of gaining a greater amount of money to resolve medical bills and compensate for wage loss and other out-of-pocket expenses.

As Phoenix personal injury attorneys, we fully understand that not every valid case must be pursued if it’s not truly going to benefit the person who was injured. Some accident victims just want honest answers to their questions so they can make the decision as to whether to pursue a claim. Sometimes, contacting the best lawyer does not necessarily mean a person wants to make an insurance claim or file a lawsuit, only that the person want to know what options are available. We are always here to answers those questions, no matter the situation.
When accidents are caused by negligent drivers who are talking on cell phones or sending text messages, other issues are created. Primarily there is the question of proof. How can one prove that the other driver in the accident was on a cell phone? How can one show that the other driver was sending text messages? Just because someone is driving while chatting on a cell phone, does that mean he or she was negligent? Getting the cell phone records is an important first step in attempting to prove crucial parts of your case. How can one gain access to another person’s cell phone records? Usually it requires a lawsuit and a subpoena.
If you have any questions about a serious personal injury or wrongful death case in Arizona and want to speak to lawyers who have fought for their clients year after year, give us a call. We know that the decision to bring a personal injury case can be intimidating, particularly for someone who is already suffering from a severe injury. We know that dealing with a lawyer can be overwhelming. But rest assured we will do everything possible to answer your questions promptly and thoroughly so you will be fully informed. At minimum, we encourage you to call the best possible Peoria, AZ accident lawyer you can find to have your questions answered so that you can make a decision as to how to pursue your claim.
The simple answer to this question is yes. A lawsuit can still be filed for injuries suffered even if the person who was hurt was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
The person who is injured must prove that the other driver was negligent and that the at-fault driver caused a serious injury as a result of the accident at the outset of the case. But after this is established, the at fault driver is very likely to hire an expert witness to find and develop any evidence to argue that the wounded driver’s injuries would have been less severe had a seatbelt been worn. The judge in the case will then determine the degree to which it can be proven that the injuries would have been minimized by a seatbelt. According to the judge’s decision, the at-fault party will not have to pay expenses beyond injuries that would have been caused while a seatbelt was worn.
For example, if the accident would have resulted in two days in the hospital and a broken leg had a seatbelt been worn, the at-fault driver is liable for that injury. However, if the accident would have caused the broken leg, but resulted in the same broken leg and a serious brain injury because the seatbelt was not worn, the at fault driver does not have to pay for the brain injury.
Obviously, as Peoria auto accident lawyers, we understand that many times people come to us after the fact. They wish they would have worn their seatbelt, but they did not. And they would still like to make a claim. There is a slim chance of winning limited damages in this situation. Since the burden of proof rests upon the at fault driver to show the damage that could have been prevented, the claim may still be viable.
For more information regarding your legal options and rights as an auto accident injury victim, whether you were wearing your seatbelt or not, please feel free to contact a Arizona personal injury attorney at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We always provide free, no-obligation consultations to injury victims and may be able to help you with your potential case.
One way to ensure that more people are not hurt in the future is to encourage claims to be made when appropriate, and to hold construction workers accountable for unsafe work practices when they lead to injuries to others.
If nobody is held accountable for a construction accident or work-related incident, workers are less likely to act in a safe manner in the future. Therefore, finding a top Peoria construction accident lawyer to help an injured worker bring a personal injury claim not only benefits that worker, but may have a deterrent effect to help prevent injuries to other people.
This fact only becomes more important as Peoria continues to grow and more and more people are employed on construction sites throughout Peoria, Maricopa County, and the state of Arizona.
If you have been injured while at work, a skilled Arizona personal injury attorney at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. may be able to help. We understand that there is much to consider after being injured as the result of another person’s negligence. Please contact us today for a no-obligation, free consultation.
In recent years, Peoria has seen a lot of growth. That growth includes the creation of jobs for people in the building trades and construction industry. Unfortunately, construction sites are often extremely dangerous places. Construction workers risk catastrophic injury on a daily basis.
Many times people who work in the construction industry believe that if they are injured on the job their only recourse is to make use of workers’ compensation in Arizona. But actually many construction site injuries in Peoria and surrounding areas not only allow for workers’ compensation claims to be made, but also allow for personal injury claims to be made in addition.
As Arizona personal injury attorneys, we know that workers’ compensation claims following a construction injury are very important for the injured worker. They provide for medical care, although not always the best possible medical care available. Workers’ compensation claims also allow for repayment of lost wages, although not always in full. Because workers’ compensation does not provide for full repayment and impeccable medical attention, making a personal injury claim to allow care that is potentially better, repay lost wages in full, and provide money for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, frustration, and all other aspects of a worker’s life that have been altered by a construction injury is a useful benefit to the person who was hurt.
Contact Breyer Law Offices, P.C. for more information regarding your legal options after being injured in a construction accident caused by another person’s negligence. We have assisted many construction workers in successfully obtaining the best compensation for their injuries. Call our skilled Peoria construction accident lawyers today for a free, no-obligation consultation.
As Phoenix personal injury lawyers, we have seen cases in which there was no working or available seatbelt in a person’s automobile, leading to that person’s driving the car without wearing one. There are rare situations where the failure to wear a seatbelt because there was none available can be excused under the law.
Also, as a matter of practical concern, a jury is much more likely to have some sympathy for a person who simply did not have a working seatbelt – particularly if they were a passenger in someone else’s car – than for a person who simply chose not to wear a seatbelt when one was readily available.
There is much to take into account after being involved in a car accident, especially when issues arise regarding seatbelt functionality and use. Time is of the essence when pursuing a personal injury claim after an auto accident. At Breyer Law Offices, P.C., our skilled Peoria car accident injury lawyers offer free, no-obligation consultations for auto accident injury victims. If you have any questions about your auto accident, please call us today.
Underinsured motorist coverage is called upon more frequently than uninsured coverage when the injuries suffered in an auto accident are more serious. Let’s say a driver causes a serious injury that requires a substantial amount of costly medical treatment. Phoenix personal injury lawyers have seen first-hand how medical costs can be so great in some cases that the at-fault party’s insurance does not even cover the hospital bills. And if the policy cannot even cover those expenses, it is unlikely to sufficiently reimburse past and future lost wages, rehabilitation, or other expenses that are allowed by law. In these cases, uninsured motorist coverage claims are made.
An uninsured motorist claim allows an injured motorist to turn to her own insurance policy (or a family member or other loved one’s policy, which may also cover the motorist even if she did not pay for the policy herself) to defray medical expenses, pain, frustration, and all the lost wages and other losses left over when the other driver’s insurance policy limit has been reached. So if the person at fault had a $100,000 insurance policy and the injured party incurs $80,000 in medical bills, the injury victim’s medical bills alone nearly exhaust the entire policy. If the claim includes damages for pain and suffering or ongoing rehabilitation costs, the person who caused the accident does not have enough insurance to cover the entire claim.
In this case, the injured party would be very interested to find out that she has taken out an underinsured motorist coverage policy. If her policy provides an extra payment in this circumstance, she could claim the money that should have been otherwise paid out by the at-fault driver’s insurance, had it been sufficient.
To learn more about what role underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage may play in your auto accident case, please feel free to contact the experienced Peoria car accident lawyers at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We have assisted many injury victims in obtaining the compensation that they deserve for their injuries sustained in accidents with uninsured and/or underinsured motorists.
There may have been a time where small cases could be valued based upon a simple formula. However, Arizona personal injury attorneys for most seriously injured people simply cannot look at the medical bills alone to decide what a case is worth. And people who live in pain can’t just look at the total amount of their medical bills and figure out how much compensation is fair.
Instead, it takes detailed analysis to determine what money is needed for past losses, what money is needed for the future, and what sum will fully and fairly compensate an injury victim in Peoria, Arizona.
Moreover, coming to a decision regarding the amount of damages to seek is not simply a matter of fairness. The bigger question is what a Maricopa County jury would conclude after taking into account all aspects of the case.
If an insurance company or defendant that caused a serious Peoria, Arizona car accident is not willing to pay a fair amount of money to compensate the injured person, the question becomes what would a jury do. If a jury would award an amount that is greater than what is being offered, an experienced Peoria personal injury lawyer can use that knowledge as a bargaining chip to make sure that the full amount of compensation is won.
If you have been injured by another person’s negligence in an auto accident and are wondering how much your potential claim is worth, you may want to consider speaking with a skilled Arizona auto accident lawyer. Contact the attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. today to learn more about your legal rights and options. Call 623-930-8064 for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Hiring an Arizona personal injury lawyer is very different from hiring most types of professionals who work for you. In most situations, it takes a lot of money out-of-pocket to obtain the best possible company or person available to perform a professional service. In other words, hiring the best accountant is always expensive, sometimes prohibitively so; therefore even somebody who needs a superior accountant will not be able to hire one without spending a lot of money up front. The same holds true when it’s time to find a doctor or any other type of highly-trained professional.
However, as Peoria personal injury attorneys, we are still hired on a contingency fee basis like we always were. Unlike other professionals, you can hire top Peoria, AZ personal lawyers on a contingency fee basis. This permits an injury victim the opportunity to not pay anything up front. Only after a settlement is reached will the attorney need to receive payment.
The attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. follow the procedure of being paid on a contingency fee basis. We have never required that a client pay us a penny out of their own wallet at the beginning of a case. Each dollar that we have ever received has been earned with a successful outcome in a client’s case.
