PERSONAL INJURY REPRESENTATION THROUGHOUT YUMA AND TUCSON

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT

Over the past decade or so, cases of pedestrian accidents have increased significantly in Tucson and its environs. As much as the city has made solid progress in creating safer streets, many people have sustained fatal injuries due to pedestrian accidents caused by car accidents or other motor vehicles.

CAR ACCIDENT

Unexpected car accidents can leave you in a world of hurt, both physically and financially. Particularly, devastating injuries can leave you incapable of returning to your old quality of life or even getting back to the job that allowed you to maintain your quality of life.

TRUCK ACCIDENT

Dangerous large truck accidents in Tucson occur on a regular basis and are occurring more frequently. These collisions are often more severe than car-on-car accidents simply due to the dynamics of putting a colossal commercial truck against the average passenger vehicle.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

A motorcycle is both fun and efficient method of transportation; unfortunately, it also presents a heightened risk of severe personal injury that few other transportation methods carry. Too often, car and truck drivers fail to regard or notice motorcyclists on Arizona’s roadways. When drivers act negligently, such as texting while driving, it can spell disaster for a biker.

DOG BITES

In recent years, dogs have become natural extensions of our families and the number of households opting for dogs instead of children is steadily climbing. Approximately 44% of U.S. households keep at least one dog as a pet. Domesticated animals like dogs can bring health benefits to their owners but they can also present a serious liability.

SLIP AND FALL

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one million people suffer a slip and fall accident each year. In addition, more than 17,000 die as a result of these accidents. It’s no wonder that they are among the most common basis for a personal injury claim.

BONE FRACTURE

It’s not hard to imagine just how damaging a broken bone can be. You can face several weeks or months recovering, missing out on work and time with your loved ones. All the while you are surely incurring steep medical bills on top of your regular household payments. No one should have to succumb to these unexpected costs alone, especially when the fault was not their own.

BRAIN INJURY

Over half of all reported brain injuries stem from vehicular accidents in the United States. Across the country, brain injuries are some of the most dangerous injuries car accident victims can endure. If you believe you have suffered a traumatic brain injury in Tucson, working with a brain injury lawyer is the least you can do to protect your interests at this difficult time.

BUS ACCIDENT

Buses are an ideal means of transportation. City buses help people get around town while commercial buses can carry individuals across state lines. When you board a bus, you’re placing your safety in the hands of the driver. When the bus driver’s negligent actions result in your injury, you have the right to pursue compensation.

CATASTROPHIC INJURY

Catastrophic injuries can result in permanent disability. This means they are handled differently in court. If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic accident as a result of negligence by another party, you should seek legal advice immediately for one of our amazing personal injury attorneys.

CLASS ACTION

A class action lawsuit is one where a large group of people takes legal action against another party for a common cause. Each year, countless class action lawsuits are filed against companies and organizations that have been negligent and failed to protect their customers or the public from personal injury.

DANGEROUS PRODUCTS

As consumers, we trust that the products we buy in grocery stores, retail stores, or online will be safe to use; yet, each year, thousands of consumers are seriously hurt or killed due to defective products. Manufacturers have a responsibility to test their products rigorously to ensure their safety before they are available to the public. If you were hurt due to a faulty product, you might be entitled to compensation.

DISFIGUREMENT

Virtually any type of accident has the potential to be so severe it leaves unwanted physical reminders on its victims’ bodies. Some of these reminders take the shape of scars and disfigurement. If you survived a severe scar injury in Tucson that led to disfigurement, there is a chance you might be entitled to compensation.

MASS TORT

When individuals participate in a medical procedure, buy a product, or put themselves in a situation where they expect their lives to be changed for the better, they deserve to receive the anticipated and promised results. Unfortunately, every day across the United States people become the victims of others’ negligence and suffer physically, mentally, and emotionally as a result. Those who become the victims of negligence at the hands of a company, corporation, or organization are entitled to a settlement for their sufferings.

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

Medical negligence affects Americans of all ages. Diagnostic errors are among the top mistakes made by the medical community; these errors frequently lead to disability or death. When medical personnel fails to abide by the standard of care, negligence ensues. If you or a family member has suffered as a result of medical negligence, you may benefit from taking legal action.

PERSONAL INJURY

If you or your loved one was injured in a serious accident in Tucson, it is crucial that you know how to protect your rights and secure your future. The personal injury claims process is notoriously complicated. Unfortunately, many people make avoidable errors in the immediate aftermath of an accident that undermine their own personal injury cases.

PREMISES LIABILITY

Premises liability law is the area of law that holds the land or business owner liable for injuries guests incur while on their property. Property owners in Tucson must execute a duty of reasonable care to prevent injuries to people on their premises. If you were injured while stepping foot on defective property that you did not know was defective, you might have grounds for a premises liability lawsuit in Tucson.

SOFT TISSUE INJURY

Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout the body. They commonly occur in the neck and back regions, and manifest as whiplash, sprains and strains, bruises, and repetitive stress injuries, to name a few. It is not always apparent that you sustained a soft tissue injury because, for the most part, these injuries leave no visible marks and can take days to cause pain. To make matters worse, most X-rays do not reveal that soft tissues sustained damage.

SPINAL CORD INJURY

Accident survivors who sustain spinal cord injuries deserve access to the treatment they need. Survivors and their families endure a hefty emotional and financial burden following a tragic accident that led to a devastating spinal injury.

WRONGFUL DEATH

Losing a family member is never easy; yet knowing that their death was due to another person or entity’s negligence only serves to exacerbate the pain. Untimely and preventable deaths are often the most difficult to cope with as there is a lingering feeling that something should have been done to prevent the accident. If you are coping with the hardships associated with wrongful death, you do not have to struggle alone.
