What is a Personal Injury Claim?
In the simplest terms, a personal injury claim is a legal dispute that arises when you are hurt because someone else was careless, reckless, or intentionally harmful. The goal of a personal injury claim is to hold the responsible party (or their insurance company) accountable and to secure financial compensation for the damages you have suffered.
This compensation is intended to "make you whole" again, at least from a financial standpoint, by covering the costs and losses associated with your injury.
The legal foundation for most personal injury cases is a concept called negligence. To win a claim, your Law Bear attorney will need to prove four key elements:
- Duty of Care: The at-fault person or entity had a legal responsibility to act with a reasonable level of care to avoid harming others. For example, every driver on Anthem Way has a duty to obey traffic laws and drive safely.
- Breach of Duty: The person failed to meet that standard of care. This is the "negligent" act itself. A driver who was texting and ran a red light has breached their duty of care.
- Causation: This breach of duty directly caused your injuries. The accident wouldn't have happened, and you wouldn't have been hurt, but for the other person’s negligent actions. The red-light runner’s actions directly caused the collision that broke your leg.
- Damages: You suffered actual, quantifiable harm as a result of the injury. This includes everything from medical bills and lost income to physical pain and emotional trauma.
A personal injury claim is your legal path to reclaiming your stability and securing the resources you need to recover and move forward with your life.

The Insurance Company Offered Me Money. Should I Take It?
An insurance adjuster may contact you very soon after your accident. They might sound friendly, concerned, and eager to help. They may even offer you a check right away to cover your immediate expenses. While it can be tempting to accept, especially when bills are piling up, you should be extremely cautious. In most cases, you should not take the first offer.
You need to understand the insurance adjuster’s primary goal: to protect their company's profits by paying out the smallest amount possible. They are not on your side. The quick settlement they offer is almost always a "lowball" amount calculated to close your case cheaply and permanently.
This initial offer likely fails to account for the full scope of your damages, such as:
- Future Medical Expenses: What if you need surgery, physical therapy, or long-term care down the road?
- Future Lost Wages: If your injury prevents you from returning to your job or limits your earning capacity, the first offer won't cover that.
- Pain and Suffering: The physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life you’ve experienced have real value, which the insurance company will try to ignore.
- Unknown Injuries: Some serious injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal damage, may not be fully apparent for days or weeks after an accident.
Once you accept a settlement and sign their release form, your case is closed forever. You can never go back and ask for more money, even if your medical condition worsens dramatically.
Before you speak to an adjuster, give a recorded statement, or sign any documents, you need a bear in your corner. Let your Law Bear attorney handle the insurance company. They will act as a shield, protecting you from these tactics and fighting to ensure any settlement offer covers the true and total cost of your injuries.
Compensation Available in an Anthem, Arizona Personal Injury Lawsuit
When you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, Arizona law allows you to seek compensation, legally known as "damages," for the full range of your losses. The goal is to restore you to the financial position you were in before the accident occurred. An experienced Law Bear personal injury attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to identify and calculate all your damages to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Compensation in an Anthem personal injury claim is typically broken down into two main categories:
Economic Damages: These are the tangible, out-of-pocket financial losses that have a clear monetary value. They include:
- All past, current, and future medical bills (hospital stays, surgery, medication, therapy, etc.)
- Lost wages and income from being unable to work
- Loss of future earning capacity if your injury is disabling
- Property damage, such as the cost to repair or replace your vehicle
- Rehabilitation and assistive device costs
Non-Economic Damages: These are the intangible, subjective losses that don’t have a simple price tag but are just as real. They compensate you for the human cost of the injury and include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life (inability to partake in hobbies or activities)
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Loss of consortium (impact on your relationship with your spouse)
In very rare cases involving extreme or malicious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded. These are not meant to compensate the victim but to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future. A skilled attorney will fight to maximize your recovery across all applicable categories.
Anthem Personal Injury FAQs
It's natural to have questions as you begin this process. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions we hear from injury victims.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Arizona?
In Arizona, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. This means you generally have two years to file a lawsuit. If you miss this critical deadline, you will likely lose your right to seek compensation forever. There are some exceptions, so it is crucial to contact our firm right away so an attorney can evaluate your specific timeline.
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially to blame for the accident. However, your total compensation award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault for a car accident, you could still recover 80% of your total damages. An attorney will work to minimize any percentage of fault assigned to you.
Will my personal injury case have to go to court?
The vast majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations between your attorney and the insurance company. A skilled negotiator can often secure a fair settlement without the need for a trial. However, the attorneys at Law Bear prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This shows the insurance company they are serious and won't back down, which often leads to better settlement offers. If a fair offer isn't made, they will be ready to fight for you in the courtroom.
