Mesa Car Accident Lawyer

When accident victims sustain injuries in a car crash, your entire life can change. Even a minor collision can lead to long-term consequences and costly treatment. To cover immediate expenses and receive future support, you can file a personal injury claim.

Personal injury claims and personal injury law are rarely straightforward. Their success depends on your ability to collect evidence, like the police report, negotiate with the insurance company and insurance adjusters, and, in some situations, present your case in court. To achieve the desired results, you should consider working with an experienced Mesa car accident lawyer and an experienced Arizona personal injury attorney.

Common Injuries Sustained in Car Accidents

Whether you or a loved one crashed at high speeds on the Superstition Highway or got into a minor fender bender in the Alta Mesa Plaza parking lot, you can face serious medical bills, pain and suffering, and consequences. Some of the most common injuries include:

Whiplash

This type of neck strain is caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion during a collision.

Broken Bones

Fractures in arms, legs, ribs, or other bones due to the force of the collision.

Head and Brain Injuries

Concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and skull fractures caused by impact with objects or sudden force.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord, which may result in paralysis, nerve damage, or chronic pain.

Internal Injuries

Damage to organs or internal bleeding, often requiring immediate medical attention.

Psychological Problems

Emotional trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression.

Even if injuries do not seem major at first, they can still result in significant expenses related to medical assistance and lost wages. A seasoned Mesa car accident attorney can evaluate the extent of the damage and build a strong case for maximum damage recovery.

Proving Negligence in a Car Accident Case

To be eligible for damage recovery in a personal injury case, you need to prove that the at-fault party acted negligently. This involves demonstrating several elements of negligence.

Breach of Legal Duty of Care

All traffic participants, including drivers and pedestrians, have a legal duty to act reasonably on the road in order not to put others in danger. Breaking traffic laws means breaching that duty. For example, if the driver who hit your car ran a red light, they breached their duty of care to you.

Injuries and Damages

Your Mesa car crash lawyer must demonstrate that the injuries you sustained were a direct result of the breach of legal duty of care. They must also show that these injuries led to damages.

For example, the driver ran a red light, hit your car, and you sustained whiplash (injury). To treat this condition, you had to undergo physical therapy and miss work (damages).

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim?

After an auto accident, you only have a certain amount of time to file a personal injury lawsuit. In Arizona, the statute of limitations sets this period at two years. After that, legal options will not be available.

While two years is sufficient to file a claim, waiting too long to initiate the legal process may be a mistake for your legal rights. As time passes, it becomes harder and harder to collect evidence and get the necessary witness testimony. The earlier you consult an attorney and hire a legal team and start planning legal action, the easier it will be to build a strong case. An experienced attorney can support you during this process.
