Arizonans will go a majority of their lives without a car accident, and rarely do we get into our cars believing we will be in one. This is precisely why the shock and confusion after an accident is so overwhelming. Time is lost, property is damaged, work is missed, injuries suffered, and/or life is lost. The Arizona Department of Transportation reports that 140,000 car accidents occurred in 2006.
It is imperative that you speak with an experienced Arizona car accident lawyer as soon as possible. At Mostafavi, Marco & Wimmer we have over 25 years of experience representing accident victims. We effectively determine fault (negligence), and discuss your rights and potential damages. We know exactly how to speak to insurance companies in order to maximize your recovery, to compensate you for your injuries, prolonged pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost wages. Every case involves in depth analysis of the facts, and our approach ensures you get what you deserve.
Arizona accident victims often attempt to speak with insurance companies on their own, which can dramatically reduce the amount of recovery. Before calling the insurance company discuss your case with us during a free consultation to determine if having an experienced, aggressive attorney is in your best interest.
After an accident pull over and assess your injuries. Call the police, and while awaiting their arrival, exchange information (name, address, phone number, license plate number, insurance information) with other drivers. Write down as much information about the scene, weather, and other driver’s condition as you can. Do not admit fault. Comply with the police officer’s request, but again do not admit fault. Get the incident report and officer’s contact information. It is imperative you seek medical help if needed and keep all of your bills and records.
Do not hesitate to call us to speak with an experienced attorney about your car accident or injury case today. Our consultations are free and you will leave knowing all of your legal rights. Contact us today at (480) 540-3815 or info@mmwazlaw.com
