Some of Our Areas of Practice

Although you can file a personal injury claim in Phoenix after suffering harm in any type of accident caused by someone else’s negligent actions, most of the lawsuits our attorneys handle are centered around the following types of incidents:

Car Accidents

A car accident can be a traumatizing event that leaves you with a lot of questions. Our team helps lighten the burden of wondering what to do next by handling your legal issues for you.

Our skilled attorneys could perform a thorough investigation of the accident to learn why it occurred and who bears legal responsibility. They could carefully comb through all the evidence from a crash scene—including the police accident report, video and camera surveillance footage from traffic cameras and nearby surveillance cameras, and weather report for the time of the crash. If you suspect that a driver involved in the collision was drunk, our lawyers could follow the correct procedural protocols to gain access to the driver’s blood alcohol tests. Similarly, if you think a driver was distracted because they were texting, our attorneys could subpoena the driver’s cellphone records from the time of the accident.

Our attorneys could interview eyewitnesses to the collision to learn what they observed, as well as people familiar with the driver’s behavior in the minutes and hours leading up to the wreck. They could also visit the crash scene to look for critical identifying information, such as a lack of skid marks. If necessary, our legal team will work with an accident reconstruction expert to get a full understanding of what happened and who is to blame.

Contact our team today to learn more about our services.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists can face more threats to their safety than anyone else on the road. Unlike people in closed vehicles like cars or trucks, motorcycle riders do not have any safety protections, such as airbags, to act as a buffer from them and the colliding vehicle or seat belts to hold them in place. When another vehicle strikes a motorcycle, the rider and passenger have nothing to shield them from the impact, nor do they have anything to hold them on their bike. Consequently, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic and life-changing.

Our attorneys partner with you throughout the aftermath of a motorcycle accident to represent you in your case. Contact our team today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Truck Accidents

Our lawyers are skilled at helping people with their trucking accident cases. Whether your case is trying to figure out if the driver or transportation company is liable for the accident, we can determine who is legally responsible for the damages. For instance, our attorneys could investigate whether the driver exceeded the federally mandated driving time restrictions and whether the transportation company implicitly or explicitly encouraged them to drive for longer hours to meet unrealistic scheduling demands. Our proactive legal team could review the evidence from the tractor-trailer crash, including the driver’s logs and the transportation company’s training and employee manuals.

Dog Bites

Many people fall victim to a dog bite each year. Our team can walk you through your dog bite case with ease. Cases like these will determine who is responsible for the attack, the medical bills, physical disfigurement, disabilities, and more.

Sadly, people can bear physical and emotional scars from dog attacks for a long time or even permanently. Physical wounds can lead to disfiguring scars that can affect a bite victim’s self-confidence and lead to depression and anxiety. A survivor of a dog attack might need therapy to learn how to be around dogs if they experience severe post-traumatic stress disorder after the animal attack. Even walking on the street or into a house with a dog can be traumatizing and debilitating.

Unlike some other states, Arizona does not operate with a one-bite rule standard. In Arizona, a dog’s owner can be held strictly liable if their dog bites someone, even if the dog has shown no prior history of aggression towards anybody else. The only situations where a dog bite victim might not be eligible to seek compensation for their losses would be if they provoked the dog or trespassed onto the dog owner’s property.

Our dedicated legal team could help maximize a dog bite survivor’s recovery of damages by learning the full effect the accident has had on their life.

Wrongful Death

Sadly, some injuries are so serious that they result in fatalities. When you’re making a claim against a defendant who caused someone’s death, our lawyers can help you determine whether the death was caused by negligence or intentional action. Our compassionate Phoenix injury attorneys understand how to help grieving family members pursue justice in wrongful death lawsuits. Working with us starts with an initial consultation where we’ll assess your case. Contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

After you have been injured, it is important to follow certain steps to protect your rights. First, you should always seek medical care if needed. Once you have received the proper medical attention, report the accident. In the case of motor vehicle accidents, you should call 911 and report to law enforcement. If you have been injured in a store or public place, notify management and complete an incident report form if available. For nursing home abuse and medical malpractice cases, report to the staff and facility.

Next, you must gather any evidence that may be useful. For example, talk to witnesses at the scene and record their contact information, take pictures of the accident scene and potential causes, and request insurance information from the at-fault party. Remember, it is best to keep comments to yourself, as you could accidentally weaken your case. Don’t post information or pictures of your accident on social media. 

After leaving the scene, see your doctor or seek additional medical care to evaluate your injuries and begin treatment. As you begin your recovery, keep documentation of everything, including insurance letters, medical prescriptions, treatment plans, etc. 

Finally, contact Elmm Law Group and begin working with a skilled personal injury attorney who can help you seek compensation and justice for the injuries you’ve suffered.

You are not required to hire legal representation in your personal injury case. However, personal injury claims can be complicated, and an experienced attorney can help you through the process. Additionally, a lawyer can help you get compensation for both economic and non-economic losses while you focus on your health and recovery. 

So, while it is not required, it is highly recommended that you work with a personal injury lawyer to have the best chance of recovering damages.

Personal injury lawyers advocate for injury victims fighting for compensation for their losses. If you have been harmed due to another individual’s negligence, a personal injury attorney can help you file a lawsuit, find doctors to treat your injuries, negotiate with insurance companies, gather evidence, and manage your case while you focus on recovery.

A personal injury case is a lawsuit or civil claim filed by an individual injured due to another person’s negligence or intent to harm. Common examples of personal injury cases include:

Consult with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney from Elmm Law Group to determine whether you have a personal injury case.

To file a personal injury claim, it is necessary to submit a formal complaint to the court. This complaint typically outlines the incident, injuries sustained, and your argument against those responsible. After the complaint has been filed, it is important to seek medical care, gather evidence, contact insurance, and hire a personal injury attorney who can help you make sense of your case.
