Workplace injuries can leave you facing medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about your future. An experienced work injury lawyer can guide you through the process and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Whiplash is the most reported injury after rear-end collisions.
It affects the neck, shoulders, and back, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Soft tissue injuries also include sprains, strains, and contusions.
These are tricky legally because they sometimes lack clear imaging proof (like X-rays), but medical records and symptom documentation are very important.
Injuries can range from herniated discs to full or partial spinal cord damage.
Even mild back injuries can have long-term effects and are often cited in legal claims.
Severe spinal injuries may involve claims for future medical care, lost income, and life care plans.
Concussions are common even without direct head contact (due to the whiplash effect).
More serious cases involve traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can lead to major lawsuits due to long-term disabilities.
Arizona law typically treats head injuries seriously because symptoms can worsen over time.
From flying glass or metal, deep cuts can lead to infections or permanent scarring.
Scarring and disfigurement can significantly increase the value of a legal claim in Arizona.
Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are frequently fractured.
Some fractures (especially compound fractures) require surgical intervention, making these injuries higher-value legally.
Damage to organs like the lungs (punctured by broken ribs), spleen, liver, or kidneys can occur.
These injuries are often life-threatening and form the basis for major compensation claims.
Arizona is an at-fault state for car accidents, meaning whoever caused the accident is liable for damages.
There is a two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident.
Comparative negligence rules apply — if you are partly at fault, your compensation could be reduced by your percentage of fault.
