Seek medical attention first, even for minor injuries, as symptoms can appear later. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, and report the accident to police. At Sargon Law Group, we recommend contacting an attorney early to protect your rights during insurance investigations and liability determinations.

Liability in truck accidents often involves multiple parties including the driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders. Investigations examine driver logs, maintenance records, compliance with federal regulations, and accident reconstruction evidence. These cases are more complex than standard car accidents due to commercial insurance policies and corporate liability factors.

Families can pursue compensation for medical expenses before death, funeral costs, lost future income, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering. Arizona law allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to file claims. At Sargon Law Group, we handle these cases with compassion while ensuring families receive fair compensation for their irreplaceable loss.

Premises liability occurs when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, leading to injuries like slip and falls, dog bites, or structural failures.

Spinal cord injury victims can recover compensation for immediate and long-term medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and ongoing care needs. These cases require thorough documentation of both current injuries and projected lifetime care requirements, as spinal injuries often result in permanent disability.

At Sargon Law Group, we have experience securing substantial settlements by countering bias against motorcyclists and proving fault through detailed accident reconstruction.

Contact an attorney as soon as possible, ideally within days of your accident, before giving recorded statements to insurance companies. Early legal involvement protects your rights during investigations and prevents mistakes that could reduce your compensation. Sargon Law Group offers free 24/7 consultations to evaluate your claim and recommend the best legal action.

The most common mistake is accepting an early settlement offer from insurance companies before understanding the full extent of injuries and damages. Many injuries, especially soft tissue and neurological damage, don't appear immediately. At Sargon Law Group, we ensure clients receive proper medical evaluations before negotiating settlements to avoid undervaluing claims.

Phoenix's extreme heat can worsen accident injuries, cause delayed symptoms like heat exhaustion combined with trauma, and complicate medical evaluations. Desert conditions also affect accident scene evidence and vehicle damage patterns. Documenting how heat contributed to injuries or accident circumstances can strengthen compensation claims in Arizona cases.

Critical evidence includes the truck driver's logbooks, maintenance records, black box data, cargo weight documentation, and company safety records. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration compliance reports and driver qualification files are also essential. At Sargon Law Group, we conduct thorough investigations to collect this evidence before trucking companies can alter or destroy records.

Yes, Arizona follows pure comparative negligence law, allowing you to recover damages even if partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, so if you're 20% responsible, you receive 80% of damages. Insurance companies often try to inflate your fault percentage to reduce payouts.

Arizona law generally allows two years from the accident date to file personal injury claims, though wrongful death claims also have a two-year statute. Some cases involving government entities have much shorter notice requirements, sometimes just 180 days. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim, regardless of injury severity.
