Our Personal Injury Attorneys Will Fight to Protect Your Rights
The personal injury attorneys at Farhang & Medcoff understand that a serious medical setback doesn’t only affect your health; it affects your entire life. We’re here to help if your life has been thrown off track by someone else’s negligent or intentionally reckless actions. Our personal injury attorneys will stand by your side every step of the way through the litigation process to ensure that your rights are protected.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
Our legal team handles a full range of personal injury cases in Arizona. These include the following common types:
- Auto accidents – We litigate car, big rig, and motorcycle accidents. We have in-depth knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, accident reconstruction, and black box technology.
- Product liability – Consumers generally expect that products available on the marketplace are safe for their intended use, but this isn’t always the case. If you’ve been injured by a defective product, our team can help.
- Medical malpractice – Medical malpractice cases can be among the most complex to litigate. We apply our extensive experience and knowledge of Arizona statutes and case law to the benefit of our clients.
- Wrongful death – A wrongful death is one that results from another person’s negligent or otherwise legally wrongful actions. A wrongful death lawsuit may stem from an auto accident, defective product, or act of medical negligence.
We Pursue Maximum Compensation on Your Behalf
In some states, legislators have placed caps or limits on the amount of damages (compensation) that may be recoverable with a personal injury lawsuit. This is not the case in Arizona. Our personal injury attorneys will vigorously pursue maximum compensation on your behalf so that you can care for your health, provide for your family, and move forward with your life.
There are three main types of damages involved in personal injury cases, as follows:
- Economic damages – These are damages awarded for calculable losses. For instance, you may demand compensation for your related past and future medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.
- Non-economic damages – These are subjectively calculated damages that may be paid to plaintiffs for non-tangible losses. Examples include pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages – Punitive damages may be available in some cases. These are intended to punish a defendant for conduct that is particularly egregious.
Arizona law is rather strict regarding the awarding of punitive damages. Punitive damages may only be available if the defendant can be shown to have intentionally harmed the plaintiff because of ill will, or if the defendant understood that their actions were negligent and likely to result in harm, yet carried out those actions regardless.
Generally, the more serious the incident and resulting injuries, the higher the damages will be. Our personal injury attorney will vigorously pursue substantial compensation for your losses.
