Arizona Car Accident Lawyers

Common Types of Car Accidents

You never know when another driver is going to mess up and cause a crash. You also won’t know what type of crash it is until it happens. For this reason, we at Rafi Law Group have taken the time to familiarize ourselves with all sorts of car accident types, claims, and lawsuits. If you were in a traffic collision, then we have the experience and insight to help.

Common types of car accidents in Arizona include:

• Head-on collisions: A head-on collision is likely to result in catastrophic injuries because the velocities of both vehicles are combined at the point of impact. For example, two cars traveling at 25 mph will collide with a 50-mph force if they hit head-on.
• Rear-end accidents: A rear-end collision can cause a serious neck injury called whiplash, which occurs even in low-speed impacts. If you were rear-ended and feel sore at all, then you should see a medical doctor as soon as possible for a checkup.
• T-bone accidents: Most cars do not have significant protective measures on their sides, which can make a T-bone accident extremely dangerous.
• Rollovers: Certain vehicles are designed to be top-heavy, which can cause them to flip over during sharp turns or accidents. SUVs are notorious for having a higher-than-average rollover risk, especially in older models.
• Multivehicle accidents: You can leave everything up to our firm if you were in a multivehicle accident in Arizona. We can investigate the circumstances to determine liability, whether there were two or a dozen other drivers.

What to Do & Not Do After a Car Accident

The decisions you make and actions you take after a car accident can be significant for your claim’s validity later. It’s also true that what you don’t do can be just as important.

After a car accident, you should:

• Seek immediate medical attention.
• Collect contact and insurance information from all parties.
• Use your smartphone to document the scene of the crash.
• Go to the doctor after if you didn’t need urgent medical care.
• Talk with an Arizona car accident lawyer soon.

After a car accident, you should not:

• Leave the scene before all information is exchanged.
• Apologize or say, “I am sorry.”
• Ignore your doctor’s orders for aftercare.
• Lie at any point throughout the claim process.
• Accept an insurance settlement without letting your lawyer see it first.

We focus primarily on car accident cases that involve catastrophic and life-changing injuries, so we are available for the people who need our experienced counsel the most. If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, then you can take some comfort in knowing that we have probably seen many cases like yours before. We know how to work with medical experts to figure out the details of your injury and how it will impact your life for years to come.

Common injuries reported in Arizona car accidents include:

• Whiplash and neck injuries
• Head and brain injuries
• Back and spine injuries
• Broken bones
• Burn injuries
• Permanent scarring

Evidence to Help Prove Liability

Arguments against defendants often need to be backed up by concrete, tangible evidence. Our Arizona car accident lawyers know where to look for useful evidence that proves that what we say is the truth. The goal is to make it so difficult for the defense to position its case that they are more tempted to offer a fair settlement sooner than later.

Evidence that could help prove the other driver is liable could include:

• Dashcam footage
• Traffic cam footage
• Police reports
• Eyewitness statements
• Photos from the crash scene
• Medical records

Understanding Comparative Negligence in Car Accident Cases

When it comes to car accident cases, understanding the concept of comparative negligence is crucial. Comparative negligence refers to the idea that multiple parties involved in an accident may share a certain degree of fault. In Arizona, the law follows a pure comparative negligence system, which means that even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation.

Here's how comparative negligence works:

• If you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
• For example, if you are determined to be 20% at fault, and your total damages amount to $100,000, your compensation will be reduced by 20% and you will receive $80,000.

Having an experienced car accident lawyer by your side is crucial in navigating the complexities of comparative negligence. At Rafi Law Group, our skilled attorneys have extensive knowledge and experience in handling auto accident cases. We will work tirelessly to gather evidence, analyze the circumstances of the accident, and fight for your right to maximum compensation.
