arizona injury claims master guide

To quote a cliché: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” When a construction worker suffers a serious on a job site in a construction accident in Arizona, a picture may mean the difference between being financially compensated for a critical injury or getting nothing.

A claim for an Arizona construction accident can be complicated, and a lot of the time people only get reimbursed through workers’ compensation after getting hurt on the job. Workers’ compensation in Arizona is often the only way to be compensated financially after a getting hurt on the job. Yet it is sometimes the case that another party caused the construction site injury through their negligence. Most Arizona construction workers are not aware that they may have the right to claim for personal injuries suffered on the job, depending upon the situation.

Since so many injured Arizona workers do not know they have a right to file a claim in the case of a construction accident, pictures of the place where workers were injured often are not taken. Construction sites change rapidly and evidence can easily be tampered with or even destroyed after an on the job injury occurs. Because of this, it is important to inform anyone in the construction trade that should they be injured on a construction site, photos should be taken immediately. While OSHA will investigate the most serious injuries, as experienced Arizona construction accident lawyers we have seen cases where an investigation was not done, or where photos were not considered necessary in the inquiry even in major construction accidents that result in life-threatening and life-changing injuries.

That is why any investigation into injuries in the State of Arizona that happen to construction workers should always involve photographing the scene of the construction accident. Now, a seriously injured individual can still file a personal injury claim even if there are not photos taken, but since the injured party must prove negligence by another party in order to successfully recover damages it will be more difficult. Photographs improve the chance that a claim for a construction accident will be proved and compensated.

We can provide anyone who has been injured in an Arizona construction accident with a copy of our personal injury master guide to Arizona claims called “13 Biggest Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Arizona Injury Case.” As skilled and knowledgeable personal injury attorneys, we wrote this book to aid people who are considering filing a personal injury claim. It answers many questions people have about whether or not to pursue a lawsuit, and empowers a person to make the best decision for themselves and their families.

The most important thing is that Arizona roadways are made as safe as possible. Auto accidents disrupt lives and too often result in tragedies from which families never fully recover. That is why we feel we should speak up after reading this report concerning the uproar over use of photo radar on Arizona highways. We understand there are valid concerns about privacy, but we feel that it is more important that lives are saved.

As the lawyers who wrote the book Master Guide on Arizona Injury Claims, some people may be surprised at our stance. For us, it makes perfect sense, as we see too many wrongful death cases in Phoenix due to automobile accidents. Exceeding the speed limit is the cause of many road accidents, and initially it seems that the introduction of photo radar has led to a significant drop in the number of people seriously injured and killed in Arizona road accidents. Whether it is to reduce car accidents or motorcycle accidents, anything that can be done to reduce or eliminate the causes of these accidents is a good thing.

We completely support the idea of almost any measure that can have a drastic reduction – or any real reduction – in the amount of pain and suffering and loss that takes place because of Arizona car accidents. Far too many of these incidents that ruin lives happen because of excessive speed on our freeways. While we would support some changes to the method with which the photo radar is being implemented, we cannot support any effort to eliminate these cameras.

We support measures that can reduce the number of Arizona car accidents along with the pain, suffering and financial loss that goes along with them. As personal injury accident attorneys in Phoenix, we know the role speeding plays in many auto accidents and because of this, we cannot support an effort to eliminate these cameras, though we do support some changes in how the photo radar is applied.

If the use of photo radar results in fewer personal injury victims, even if the ulterior motive is to raise money for the government, it is a victory for all Arizonans.
