Personal Injury Law in Arizona
What’s Considered a Personal Injury?
In the state of Arizona, the legal concept of personal injury encompasses physical, emotional, or psychological harm endured by an individual due to the negligent or deliberate acts of another party. Personal injury cases in Arizona often revolve around scenarios in which one person’s conduct or negligence results in harm to another.
Common instances of personal injury cases in the state encompass car accidents, slip and fall accidents, incidents of medical malpractice, product liability issues, dog attacks, and cases involving premises liability. To pursue a personal injury claim in Arizona, the injured party must provide evidence that the responsible party’s actions or negligence were the direct cause of their injuries and subsequent losses.
Common Causes of Personal Injury
While personal injury can occur for a number of reasons, these are the eight most common causes that come across our desk.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents often result in personal injuries due to the force of sudden impact. They can cause injuries like lacerations, bruising, and fractured or broken bones.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Slippery or hazardous conditions on properties, both public and private, can cause individuals to slip, trip, and fall, resulting in injuries like broken bones, sprains, or head injuries.
- Medical Malpractice: Negligence by healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, or hospitals, can lead to medical errors causing injuries or complications, such as surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or medication mistakes.
- Workplace Accidents: On-the-job injuries can occur in various industries, from construction accidents to office-related incidents, resulting in injuries ranging from minor cuts to severe fractures.
- Product Liability: Defective products or inadequate warnings can cause injuries when used as intended, leading to product liability claims, including cases involving defective vehicles, medical devices, or consumer goods.
- Dog Bites: Getting attacked by a dog can cause various physical and emotional injuries, including cuts, punctures, and emotional trauma.
- Premises Liability: Property owners are responsible for keeping spaces safe for residents or guests to use. If an injury occurs on the premises as a result of hazardous conditions, they can be held financially liable for all accident-related expenses.
- Recreational and Sports Injuries: Accidents and injuries can occur during recreational activities and sports, ranging from minor sprains to more severe head injuries.
The Role of Negligence in Personal Injury Cases
For a plaintiff to seek compensation in a personal injury case, they must prove the defendant acted negligently and that the defendant’s negligence caused their injuries. Let’s break it down further. Here are the four criteria that must be present to establish negligence.
- Duty: The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care.
- Breach: The defendant did not fulfill their duty of care.
- Causation: The defendant’s breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injuries.
- Damages: The plaintiff suffered a form of identifiable harm (physical, mental, or emotional) as a result of their injuries.
Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state, meaning the plaintiff can seek damages even if they’re up to 99% at fault. The damages awarded are reduced by the percentage of fault they contributed. Here’s an example. Let’s say you get in a car accident because another driver failed to signal, and you run into them from behind. You file a claim against the driver, and a judge awards $100,000 worth of damages. However, since you were following too closely when the accident occurred, the judge determines you are 50% at fault for the accident. Your compensation is reduced to $50,000.
