Legal Protection After an Accident
Every year Arizona and Nevada sees thousands of people injured in motor vehicle accidents, whether they are in a vehicle or as a pedestrian struck by a vehicle - - many, unfortunately, are seriously injured. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds someone in the U.S. is involved in a car accident. Motor vehicle accidents continue to be the leading cause of death from injuries in the U.S., with over 33% of them being alcohol related.

If You Are in an Accident - Call an Attorney Immediately - Do Not Wait
After an accident, it is important to call an attorney soon. A lawyer who gets involved early is in the best position to build a strong case by investigating every possible contributing cause of the accident, by preserving the evidence, finding witnesses, and taking photos of injuries before they begin to heal. A lawyer can assist you in finding appropriate medical treatment and make arrangements with your medical care providers to wait for payment until your case is resolved.
Also, most people have difficulty dealing with insurance companies on their own as they are not aware of the laws that protect them; they accept low settlements or no compensation from skilled negotiators hired by the insurance companies to settle as cheaply as possible. Contacting us immediately after an accident is free, will help you understand your rights, and most importantly, will help to protect your rights so you can receive a fair financial settlement for all of your damages.
If you currently have an ongoing claim, it may not be too late to get a lawyer involved. We will consult with you and advise you of your legal rights. We represent clients throughout all phases of their claims, as a result of a motor vehicle accident, such as:
- Car accidents: After a car accident, the insurance company will begin collecting information to use in your file. Do not speak to the insurance company yourself. Many areas of the law - such as the seat belt law - require an attorney who is familiar with that area of law. Although it may act like it is on your side, the insurance company does not have your best interests in mind. Dealing with insurance companies is tricky, and we can help maximize the compensation you receive.
- Truck accidents: Trucking is a highly regulated area of transportation, with a tremendous number of regulations governing every action. We are familiar with the regulations governing truck accidents, including factors such as log book or equipment violations, lack of sleep or alcohol use.
- Motorcycle accidents: Many drivers fail to notice motorcycles, and a collision that would be minor between two cars can be deadly for a motorcyclist. We are familiar with the traffic laws governing accidents in both Arizona and Nevada.
- Boat accidents: At Lake Mead, Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu, many people start an afternoon with the goal of having fun. After a few drinks, or due to limited knowledge of boating regulations, serious boating accidents happen. These types of accidents on the water are regulated and we are familiar with the laws governing them.
