Gilbert Car Accident Attorneys

Get Legal Help After an Auto Accident

For a city like Gilbert, Arizona that is growing every year in population, it is no surprise that there will be an increased amount of motor vehicle accidents, and a greater likelihood that a person will be involved in an auto accident. It is important to drive safely, but even a safe driver can still be the victim of driver negligence as there are so many cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses traveling throughout the area now. Unfortunately, driver negligence resulting in a crash has a higher likelihood than before and the risks of being injured in a car collision due to the fault of another individual grow as more people populate the area.

When negligent actions or reckless driving result in an auto accident causing injury or death, the at-fault driver may be held responsible under negligent laws. As an injury victim from a car or truck accident, a claim against the at-fault driver can be brought to collect for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, as well as other damages provided under the negligence theory. Showing that the injury was caused by driver negligence and that the injury victim or the deceased party's family should be awarded compensation can be challenging. Some may think it is easy to prove driver negligence, but it is important to remember that only an experienced auto accident attorney knows all the different avenues to obtain the best car accident settlement.

Compensation for Car Accident Injuries

The amount of the car accident injury claim settlement will most likely be dependent on the type of injury sustained in the collision. An attorney must prove that the injuries incurred in the accident were caused by the negligence of the driver. The pain and suffering amount will be proportional to what the attorney can prove in terms of the severity of the injury, amount of lost wages, medical expenses, and any permanency of the injury. Injuries typical of an auto accident are:

• Fractures or broken bones;
• Knee injuries;
• Arm injuries;
• Traumatic brain injury;
• Organ damage;
• Lacerations and bruises;
• Burns or road rash;
• Disfigurement;
• Loss of limb;
• Paralysis; and
• Whiplash.

A car crash can lead to stresses of financial and emotional concerns. Medical expenses to treat injuries can be thousands of dollars and can be very stressful for the injured victim and the family. Compensation for injury damages include:

• Hospital bills;
• Medical bills;
• Lost wages;
• Physical therapy;
• Rehabilitation costs;
• Pain and suffering; and
• Emotional trauma.

For wrongful death auto accidents, the family of the victim can seek compensation for funeral costs, loss of income, loss of companionship, as well as other losses as a result of the death.

Types of Car Accidents

To receive the best settlement for a car crash, an attorney has to show that the adverse driver caused the accident as a result of negligent actions. Examples of driver negligence that cause accidents include:

• Speeding;
• Failure to yield;
• Fatigued or drowsy driving;
• Distracted driving;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs;
• Inattention to surroundings;
• Running red light;
• Texting or cell phone use; and
• Failure to obey traffic signals and/or signs.

If it can be proven that the negligent driver caused a car crash and an injury by one of the above negligent acts, it is more likely that the accident victim will receive compensation for the injuries incurred as a result of the accident.
