How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Phoenix Advocate?

There are no upfront costs to hire an Advocate. We work on what is known as a “contingency fee basis.” This means that we provide our legal services without charging any fees at the beginning. We only get paid if we win your case.

Once your case has settled, our attorney fees will be deducted as a percentage of your settlement amount. This means that no money comes out of your pocket—you have access to high-quality legal representation without finances being a barrier.

This contingency fee structure means that your attorney’s goal is the same as yours: obtain maximum compensation for your damages.

Why Should I Hire a Phoenix Personal Injury
Lawyer with The Advocates?

Your Advocate will be by your side every step of the way. We understand that a personal injury can change every aspect of your life, and our goal is to assist in your recovery in any way we can. This means more than offering legal advice and representation. We will help you find the medical care you need, set up liens for your medical bills, and find repair shops for your vehicle or bike.

With an Advocate, you get more than an attorney. You get an entire team dedicated to giving you peace of mind. We believe that to be an Advocate is to be a helping hand, listening ear, and strong voice for all of our clients.

We understand that you are more than a case number: you’re a human being with a family, a job, and a life. Personal injury cases can be stressful and overwhelming, so we serve to take those worries off of your plate, so you can focus on feeling better and moving forward.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case in Phoenix?

If you have suffered injuries because of another person’s actions, it is worth speaking with an injury attorney. The Advocates’ Phoenix accident lawyers offer 100% risk-free consultations, so you can discuss your potential personal injury lawsuit at no cost.

In order to receive compensation for your damages, you must be able to prove that the other party was at least partially responsible for your injuries and losses. Even if you are found partially at-fault for the accident, as long as the defendant has some responsibility, you may recover some damages. This is where an attorney comes in. 

Proving negligence in Arizona

A plaintiff in a personal injury case must prove that the defendant acted negligently in order to recover compensation. You will need to prove four elements. Your Advocate attorney will help you establish the following:

  • Duty of care: The defendant had some responsibility to act with your safety in mind. In car accident cases, for example, drivers should follow traffic laws and drive with reasonable care to avoid accidents.
  • Breach of duty: The defendant breached their duty of care, either through their actions or lack thereof. A driver who failed to stop at a red light and caused an accident may be found to have breached this duty.
  • Causation: The defendant’s actions must be proven to have caused your injuries. You cannot recover compensation for pre-existing injuries or for injuries caused by your own actions.
  • Damages: You must prove that you suffered damages because of your injuries.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?

Some injury victims decide against pursuing legal action because they fear a lengthy trial where they will have to appear in court. It’s true that some personal injury cases go all the way to litigation. Fortunately, though, most are settled before ever seeing a courtroom.

Your personal injury attorney will negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company to get you a fair settlement without the need for litigation. If your attorney feels that the other party isn’t making a fair offer, or if the statute of limitations is going to expire for your case, they may advise you that your best option is to go to trial.

If you choose to take your claim to court, your trial lawyer will build your case, prepare you for the courtroom, and argue on your behalf in front of a judge and/or jury. Going to trial will extend the life of your claim, but, depending on the case, it may provide the best chances of getting you maximum compensation. Your Advocate will fight tirelessly to get you a favorable verdict.

What Types of Damages Can I Sue for in a Phoenix Claim?

Every personal injury claim is different. The damages you may collect will depend on your accident, injuries, and individual circumstances. Some commonly sought personal injury damages include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of future earnings
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Funeral and burial expenses for lost loved ones

The compensation you receive will depend on your losses. The best way to know how much your case is worth is to speak with a personal injury attorney. Contact The Advocates today for a free consultation to determine what damages you may receive compensation for in your case.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

Every personal injury case is subject to a time limit known as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations varies by case type and state.

In Arizona, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident. There are several factors that can impact this timeline, so it’s a good idea to contact an attorney to determine exactly how long you have.

Two years may seem like a long time, but it is always wise to give yourself as much time as possible when filing. Medical treatment and negotiations can take months or even years, and you don’t want to run out of time. Once the statute of limitations has expired, you lose your right to file a claim.
