What Is Considered a Car Accident?

Arizona law defines a car accident as any incident in which a moving motor vehicle causes an injury to another person. This can include a car hitting a pedestrian, a car hitting a bicyclist, or a car hitting another car.

Our firm can help you and we have many types of attorneys available. Some include;

What Are the Common Causes of Car Accidents That May Result in a Personal Injury Claim?

Our car accident attorneys in Tucson have worked on a wide variety of cases that involve a multitude of causes. Some of the most frequent causes of car accidents include:

Distracted Driving: Driving while distracted is one of the main causes of automobile collisions. This includes any action that distracts the motorist from the road, including texting, talking on the phone, eating, adjusting the radio, or engaging in any other activity.
Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or traveling at an excessive rate for the road and weather conditions impairs the driver’s capacity to respond to unforeseen circumstances, necessitates a greater stopping distance, and exacerbates the severity of collisions.
Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics significantly impairs one’s coordination, judgment, and reaction times, rendering it among the most perilous factors contributing to automobile collisions.
Reckless driving: Reckless behaviors like tailgating, aggressive lane changes, running red lights, and excessive weaving through traffic significantly increase the risk of accidents.
Weather conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, ice, fog, and dust storms can make driving more challenging and increase the likelihood of accidents. When weather-related accidents happen, other drivers may be held liable for their negligent actions, such as failing to slow down and compensating for inclement weather.
Poor road conditions: Potholes, uneven surfaces, worn-out road markings, and lack of proper signage can contribute to accidents, particularly if drivers are not adequately prepared. A municipal agency responsible for road upkeep may be liable for your injuries. Your auto accident attorney can investigate and determine whether such an organization may be responsible.
Inexperienced drivers: Lack of experience on the road can lead to poor judgment, improper decision-making, and an inability to handle emergencies effectively.
Failure to obey traffic laws: Ignoring traffic signs, not yielding the right of way, and disobeying traffic signals can result in dangerous auto collisions.
Fatigued driving: Driving while fatigued or drowsy can impair a driver’s ability to focus and react promptly, increasing the risk of accidents.

What Damages Are Available?

In a vehicle accident claim, there are various damages that may be available to the injured party. These can include medical expenses, both current and future, for necessary treatments and rehabilitation.

Additionally, the injured party may be compensated for lost wages and loss of earning capacity if the accident resulted in an inability to work. Pain and suffering damages, which account for the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident, can also be sought.

Other potential damages may include property damage, such as repairs or replacement of the vehicle, and loss of consortium, which compensates for the impact the accident has had on relationships and companionship.

Challenges You May Face When Dealing With the Insurance Company in a Car Accident Claim

Claiming full and fair compensation after a crash isn’t always easy. Dealing with insurance companies after a motor vehicle collision can present several challenges. Insurance companies are businesses focused on minimizing their financial liabilities, which can often create obstacles for accident victims seeking fair compensation.

Here are some common challenges you may encounter when dealing with insurance companies:

Lowball Settlement Offers

Insurance adjusters may offer you a quick settlement soon after the accident. However, these initial offers are often low and may not fully account for the extent of your injuries, medical expenses, or future damages.

It’s important to consult with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your case and negotiate on your behalf for a fair settlement.

Claims Denial or Delay

Insurance companies may attempt to deny your claim altogether or delay the claims process. They might argue that the accident was not covered under the policy or question the severity of your injuries.

Dealing with claim denials or delays can be frustrating and time-consuming. An experienced attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence, build a strong case, and challenge the insurance company’s decisions.

Accident Victim Blaming or Shared Fault

Your compensation could be diminished if it is determined that you were somewhat responsible for the accident; this is because Arizona adheres to a comparative negligence rule. If the insurance company wants to reduce their obligation, they might try to pin the blame on you.

They may argue that you were negligent or that you contributed to the accident. Having an experienced car accident lawyer by your side can help protect your rights and ensure a fair assessment of fault.

Disputes Over Damages

Insurance companies may dispute the extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. They may question the necessity of certain medical treatments or argue that your injuries were pre-existing.

An auto accident lawyer can gather medical records, consult with experts, and build a strong case to support your claim for full compensation.

Pressure to Provide Recorded Statements

Victims of accidents are frequently asked by insurance adjusters to record statements. Despite how harmless it may appear, these remarks can be utilized in a later stage to diminish the value of your claim.

You should make sure your rights are protected by consulting with an attorney before giving any recorded comments.

Navigating the challenges posed by insurance companies can be complex and overwhelming, particularly when you are recovering from injuries.

Seeking the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney who has experience in dealing with insurance companies can level the playing field and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

An attorney will handle all interactions with the insurance company, negotiate on your behalf, and fight for your rights throughout the claims process.

Arizona Car Accident Laws

Arizona law requires drivers to report any traffic accident resulting in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000 to the local police or the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) within 24 hours.

Arizona follows a fault-based system for automobile accidents, which means the party responsible for causing the accident is also responsible for covering the damages. If you are involved in a car accident in Arizona, the at-fault driver and their insurance company may be liable for your injuries and property damage.

What if I am Partly to Blame for My Accident?

If both parties are somewhat to blame for an accident, the state’s comparative negligence rule allows for a reduction in compensation proportional to each party’s degree of fault. If the other motorist was determined to be 80% at fault and you were found to be 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%.

A Tucson car accident lawyer can fight to defend you against allegations of liability, which may preserve the value of your auto accident claim.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in Arizona for a Car Accident Claim?

There is a limited time frame within which you can file a lawsuit after a car accident. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for personal injury and property damage claims resulting from a car accident is typically two years from the date of the accident.

An experienced lawyer can handle all of your legal filings and documentation to ensure you don’t miss important legal deadlines and lose the opportunity to claim financial compensation for your losses.
