Current Arizona Car Accident Data

According to new information published only days ago, the Arizona Department of Transportation revealed important data pertaining to car accidents in the state. In 2012:

• There were more than 100,000 car crashes
• Of these, more than 33,000 resulted in injuries
• There were 741 fatal car accidents in 2012
• More than 5,400 accidents were alcohol-related
• More than 1,500 accidents involved pedestrians

Compensation for Your Injuries
If you’ve been involved in a car accident caused by the opposing driver’s negligence, typically you are rightfully entitled to compensation for your injuries, as well as pain and suffering. Here is a partial list of reasons for economic and non-economical compensation:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Hospital bills and medication
• Rehabilitation
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Past and future lost income or wages
• Pain and suffering already experienced or likely to be experienced
• Property damage – auto repair or replacement, depending on the circumstances
• Car rental and towing

If you were a victim of an auto accident, it is critical to realize that in Arizona there is a general 2 year statute of limitations (in some cases this can be limited to 6 months). Time is not on your side if you have been injured in a car crash. Legal actions must be filed as soon as possible and within this time parameter to protect your rights to be compensated for bodily injury as well as for property damage.

What to do after an Arizona auto accident

Auto accidents and motorcycle accidents are very stressful and typically present you with bodily harm as well as personal property damage to your vehicle. Here is a step by step list of things that are essential to do.

Collect the following information:

Create a record of accident events including the time and date they happen. Organize your insurance paperwork, accident records from the opposing driver, and any other statements from witnesses. The more organized the info you collect, the more valuable it is.

Your smart phone is a great way to document the Phoenix car accident that you have been involved in. Take pictures of the opposing driver and the damage to both vehicles. Take videos of the accident. Be sure to take longer videos and pan across the vehicles slowly so that damage can be seen clearly.

Never sign any documents without consulting a Phoenix injury attorney

Obviously, if you are at the scene of the accident you may be required to sign police reports. However, if you feel the officer is incorrect then do not sign the document. Also, realize insurance companies will ask you to initial and sign documents that may waive your rights to receive appropriate compensation for injuries as well as property damages.

Time is on the side of the insurance company. They know this and use it to their advantage. When you are in pain and you are trying to get your transportation needs under control, it may seem logical to just accept an initial offer because you would like to get your life back in order. Stay the course, because insurance companies will attempt to get you to settle for less than your case is worth. This is exactly why you should hire an experienced Phoenix personal injury lawyer to help you through this complex process. Remember, you only get one chance to settle with the insurance company. Once you sign, you cannot retract the agreement you have made.

Do not comply with requests for recorded statements

Following an Arizona auto accident, the opposing company and sometimes your insurance company will call and request a recorded statement. Don’t do this until you have consulted with a Phoenix injury attorney at Phoenix car accident dot com. The insurance company has trained adjusters that will ask you leading questions and it is very easy to unknowingly say things that will damage your case before all the facts are on the table. Give us a call for a free evaluation and let us protect your rights to be compensated to the maximum legal allowed amount for your bodily and personal property damages.

Don’t rush Mother Nature

You have the right to Medical treatment, which can be expensive. Plus, you need a clean bill of health from your Doctor of Chiropractic or Medical Doctor before you settle your case. Injuries take time to heal. Insurance companies are uniquely aware of this and 100% of the time the insurance company is motivated to settle your claim quickly, which is usually before you have been released by your healthcare provider.

This post-accident process is stressful and very complex. Why not let a Phoenix injury attorney from phoenixcaraccident.com help level the playing field?

Arizona Auto Accidents can be complicated

You may have uninsured (UM) and under insured (UIM) motorist coverage, as well as medical insurance.  You need to be aware of the best possible course to take and which insurance you are legally able to apply.

Also, you may have valid insurance coverage on your personal automobile insurance policy. The personal injury attorneys from phoenix car accident dot com can determine if you have a right to recover from one or more of your insurance policies.
