One person’s single reckless or negligent act could inflict many physical, emotional, and economic injuries on another person. While it is impossible to reverse these damages, it may be possible to make the victim whole again through a monetary award. A personal injury claim seeks compensation for the injured party from the responsible person.
Most personal injury cases begin as insurance claims. The injured party will file a claim with the at-fault person’s insurance provider to seek fair benefits. If the insurance company denies the claim or refuses to offer a reasonable amount, the victim may have to file a lawsuit instead. Every accident victim in Arizona has the right to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent him or her during the claims process. Many kinds of personal injury lawsuits exist.

You may be familiar with the burden of proof during a criminal case in Arizona: the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof in a civil claim, however, is lighter. Civil claims require enough proof to establish the defendant as more likely than not to be responsible for the accident. You or your personal injury lawyer must provide enough evidence to persuade a jury that this is true. A general personal injury claim requires proof of four key elements.
Evidence for a personal injury claim in Arizona could take the form of eyewitness testimony, opinions from subject-matter experts, medical documents, police reports, photographs and videos. A lawyer from Shapiro Law Team could help you document your case by saving, collecting, and presenting key evidence for you. Our law firm has the resources to help you effectively tell your story.
There are many reasons to file a claim against someone in Glendale after an accident and injuries. Holding someone accountable could give you the justice and closure you need to finally move forward. It could also trigger changes on an institutional level in your community, improving the safety of others. One of the key components of filing a lawsuit, however, is the award you could receive for your damages.
Seeking too little for your damages could lead to accepting a settlement award that far undervalues how much you need. An insurance company will always try to convince you to settle for as little as possible. Starting with a low amount can make it even more difficult to obtain fair compensation. Trust a lawyer from Shapiro Law Team with your case to maximize the financial recovery you receive for your personal injury claim in Glendale.
