Thousands of drivers get on Arizona’s roadways daily not knowing they could be moments away from a car accident. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, a car accident in the state ends with an injury every 10 minutes – for an average total of 144 daily. 

In Gilbert alone, one out of every five car accidents resulted in an injury in 2022. Although 70% of them happened during the day, how other drivers behave behind the wheel can play a big part in the incident. Drunk driving, distracted driving, and careless driving can all end in a loss of property and serious injury. 

When you get in a car accident, so much more than your car is on the line. Depending on the severity of your injury, you could require hospitalization or rehabilitation, resulting in high medical bills and lost wages. When the expenses start adding up, who can you turn to for help? 

The personal injury lawyers at Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers are ready to fight to get the fair compensation you deserve. For over 35 years, our team has recovered millions of dollars in damages for Gilbert families as the result of negligence leading to car accidents or injuries. Our team is committed to helping you get the most from your claim to help you get back to normal. 

Why You Need a Car Accident Lawyer in Gilbert

Of all the states, Arizona’s car accident laws are among the most complex. The state assigns damages on a “fault-based system:” The person or company determined to have caused the accident must pay out damages to all involved parties. On the other hand, state law also allows for “comparative negligence” as well. If an injured party is not entirely at fault, they are allowed to also file a claim for their losses. 

When it comes time to start navigating the laws surrounding car accidents, going at it alone can be incredibly difficult. If you don’t know how the state statutes apply to your unique situation, you could be leaving thousands of dollars unclaimed – if your claim is successful at all. You need the experience of Gilbert’s best car accident lawyers on your side to ensure you get the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Gilbert

The moments immediately after a traffic collision are some of the most strenuous you will face in your lifetime. If you end up in a car accident, follow these steps immediately to help build your strongest case: 

  • Seek immediate medical attention
    Not every injury is obvious after an accident. If you feel like you could be hurt from your accident – anything from cuts and bruises to headaches and dizziness – you need to get medical attention. Paramedics on scene can help document your injuries and determine if you need additional care at a hospital. 
  • Get a report from local law enforcement
    When it is safe to do so, speak to the local law enforcement authorities about the crash. The local police, sheriff’s office, or highway patrol can help secure the scene and keep everyone safe as a report is made. It’s even more important to speak to officers if the other party left the scene. 
  • Collect information from the other drivers involved
    It’s critically important to get the information of the other drivers involved, including their names, addresses, phone numbers, driver’s license numbers, and insurance information. Be sure to get the exact name of their insurance company and insurance policy number as it is printed on their insurance card, or you could have a much more difficult time filing a claim. 
  • Gather evidence from the car accident
    When it is safe, start collecting your own evidence from the accident scene. Your process should include taking pictures of the accident scene, and getting the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of witnesses.
  • Contact Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers
    After your accident, you will need the help of an experienced lawyer to help you get the full compensation you deserve. Your first call should be to Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers to schedule a consultation and learn how we can help you preserve your rights.

      FAQs: Gilbert Car Accident Lawsuits

      It is common for people to be confused about the accident claims process following an injury collision or fatal accident. To help you better understand your case, here are some common questions received by the Gilbert car accident attorneys at Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers.

      When Should I Talk to a Lawyer?

      A: Arizona’s statutes of limitations for injury and wrongful death claims are found in ARS 12-542. Following an injury accident, you have a deadline of two years to file a lawsuit. If you lost a close family member, the deadline is two years following their death. In other words, if your loved one lived for a few weeks before succumbing to their injuries, the wrongful death statute of limitations starts to run from the date of their death instead of the accident.

      However, there are other times when the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit will be different. For example, if your accident was caused by a government employee while they were driving for their jobs, the statute of limitations is six months under the Arizona Tort Claims Act.

      The best approach is to talk to an attorney right after your accident. Doing so can give your attorney more time to investigate what happened, preserve evidence, and build a stronger case.

      What If the Other Driver Was On the Job at the Time of My Accident?

      A: Employers are considered to be vicariously liable for the negligence of their employees when they are working. If the motorist who caused your accident was on the clock at the time of your accident, their employer will be liable to pay damages for your losses. Employers frequently have liability policies with much higher policy limits than other motorists, so the employer’s vicarious liability might help you to recover full compensation for your losses.

      The Other Driver’s Insurance Adjuster Asked Me to Give a Recorded Statement. What Should I Do?

      A: Never give a recorded statement to the other motorist’s insurance company’s representative. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask leading questions to try to elicit harmful statements from accident victims. Politely tell the adjuster you are planning to speak to an attorney and will not give a statement about your accident or injuries until you have talked to a lawyer.

      Who Will Pay My Medical Bills?

      A: If you secure a settlement or verdict, the other motorist’s insurance company will ultimately be responsible for paying your medical bills. While your claim is pending, you can use your medical insurance to cover your medical expenses minus your copays and deductibles. Your lawyer might also help you find a doctor who is willing to treat you while your claim is pending.
