Glendale Personal Injury Lawyer

Pursuing a personal injury claim on your own can quickly become overwhelming. Insurance companies will fight as hard as they can to pay you as little as possible. The last thing you should have to do while you recover from your injuries is negotiating a lot of red tape and difficult insurance representatives.

Let a Glendale personal injury attorney from Silkman Law Firm Injury & Accident Lawyer fight for the best possible financial recovery in your case, by:

• Conducting a full investigation of the accident and your injuries
• Recovering all available evidence that we might use to build your case
• Carefully reviewing the evidence, including in conjunction with expert witnesses if necessary, to determine how the accident or your injuries occurred
• Identifying the party or parties that can be held liable to compensate you for your losses
• Documenting all your financial and personal losses to ensure that we pursue a full recovery for your case
• Managing all communication with the at-fault parties and insurance companies
• Negotiating for a settlement that accounts for the full extent of your losses
• Taking your case to court if this is the best way to get you the compensation you deserve

In Arizona, the statute of limitations typically gives you only two years from the date that you were injured in which to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If you are pursuing a personal injury claim against a state or local government or a public agency, Arizona law requires you to provide notice of your claim within 180 days of the date on which you were injured.

You should not put off seeking legal advice after an accident. Your attorney will want to work quickly to gather evidence and begin building a solid case for full compensation.

Taking the following steps can protect your rights and improve your chances of securing the full compensation that you need:

• Take photos or videos to document the details of the accident scene, as well as photographs of any visible injuries you may have sustained. Also, get the contact information for any eyewitnesses.
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible, either at the scene, at a hospital, or with your primary care physician. Not only should you get treatment for any injuries you have suffered, but you should establish a record to support your eventual personal injury claim.
• Follow all treatment instructions your healthcare providers give you. Do not delay or defer treatment of your injuries.
• Keep copies of any bills or invoices you receive for medical treatment or other expenses.
• Save copies of your pay stubs or income statements if you have lost wages or income from missed work.
• Start a journal to record your recovery and how your injuries impact your daily activities and quality of life.
• Avoid discussing your injuries or claim on social media, and refrain from posting photos or videos of yourself while undergoing treatment of your injuries.
• Meet with a Glendale personal injury lawyer to discuss the details of your case and determine the next steps.
