In most personal injury cases in Arizona, the negligent driver will try to dispute the traffic ticket they received from the Phoenix injury accident. As a result, that means you -the injured victim -may be subpoenaed to appear in court. Don’t be concerned if you receive such a summons. A subpoena simply means that you are required to go to court and tell what happened that led up to the accident.
Again, this is not something to be concerned about. In accident cases, it is very commonplace. But if you’re thinking about skipping out on the court appearance, think again. Failure to show up will not have a favorable impact on your personal injury case. Not going to court will look like you are trying to avoid answering questions for some reason. But by going to court, you will have an opportunity to help ensure the traffic citation sticks to the defendant, which can only help your case.
If you have been subpoenaed, you may want to consider hiring an Arizona accident lawyer before appearing in court. An attorney can help prepare you for what will take place when you testify.
