Today, this Arizona accident lawyer blog will take a short vacation from reporting on Phoenix insurance claims, Tucson car accidents, Mesa dog bites, Glendale slip and falls, and every other kind of personal injury we have been known to discuss. As those who follow our blog know, we attempt to educate people about their rights and responsibilities. Lawsuits help compensate seriously injured people, but they can also help deter others from causing serious injury or wrongful death at some point in the future. It is often in an insurance company’s best interests to do the right thing, especially if they know they could be financially penalized for not doing it.
Today, we are not going to venture into the realm of car accident related injuries, car insurance claims in Phoenix, or even who might be the best personal injury lawyer for brain injuries in Gilbert, or any other Arizona town for that matter. We want to take this space to applaud the bravery of a Phoenix police officer and a neighbor who saved the lives of an entire family. Reports indicate that the officer was on a regular patrol when she saw smoke coming out from the roof of the house. She and a 36-year-old neighbor were able to wake the family of three adults and nine children.
A tragedy could have happened that night that would have killed twelve people. Though this officer humbly said that she was merely at the right place at the right time, it was her actions and the actions of the family’s neighbor that kept them from harm. It is for this reason that we salute this Phoenix police officer from the Phoenix Police Department.
Though there was extensive damage to the property, the lives of as many as twelve were saved, and this is more important than any loss of property. Still, as personal injury lawyers in Arizona, we note that there though we understand that there were huge financial losses due to this incident, we are thrilled that no one was harmed.
Now, instead of having to figure out what kind of personal injury claim would have to be made against whatever caused that fire but led to the tragedy; a tragedy has been averted and instead we can just all be thankful for the Officer and all of the responding neighbors and anyone else who helped avert a tragic ending on that day.
We are pleased that, as Phoenix wrongful death lawyers, we will not be dealing with any kind of personal injury or wrongful death claim due to this house fire, and can instead applaud the actions of the officer who was in the right place at the right time and who acted nobly in the right manner.
