Personal Injury Attorneys

Malpractice occurs when medical professionals act or fails to act in a way that does not meet the legal standard of care, and, as a result, injures a patient. The standard of care is the way in which practitioners with similar qualifications would have managed the patient’s care under similar circumstances. Doctors, nurses, dentists, physicians’ assistants, pharmacists, and other medical professionals may be at fault for a patient’s injuries. An injured patient may bring a lawsuit against the hospital, practice, clinic, nursing home, or institution that employed the negligent medical professional, as well.

Arizona’s dog bite law holds that owners are liable when their dog attacks and injures someone, provided that the attack happened in a public place or on a private premises that the victim was permitted to be. This is clearly stated in the Arizona Revised Statutes § 11-1025, and provides a legal remedy for dog bite victims, that is, they can bring lawsuits against the dog’s owner for damages. Some states have a modified dog bite law that places some additional protections on the dog’s owner, such as if the dog had no former displays of viciousness, but this is not the case in the state of Arizona.

Many people are injured each year because they slip on a wet floor, tumble down a defective staircase, or trip on uneven ground. When a visitor slips and falls on somebody else's property and is injured, he or she may be able to bring a premises liability lawsuit against the property owner or occupant to recover damages. In most states, whether the visitor is able to recover will depend on the visitor's status on the property and on whether the property owner or occupant used reasonable care to prevent slips and falls on the property.

A car accident can be an expensive ordeal that amounts to thousands in medical bills, auto repairs and lost wages. Receiving compensation for an accident that was not your fault can provide essential financial support and medical assistance.

By hiring an experienced attorney who understands the tactics insurance providers often use, you are helping to increase your chances of receiving compensation.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the number of motorcycle deaths, per mile, was 27 times that of car deaths nationally. No matter the type of motorcycle you’re riding motorcycles are less stable than four-wheeled vehicles.
