Topics of Note
Another reason the blog exists is as a way to help encourage potential clients to realize they can change their circumstances. Legal troubles often feel like they have a life of their own. Something as simple as a denial of coverage for an insurance claim can leave one feeling like the world is out of control.
We cover topics such as liability and current insurance claim trends, among other topics, to provide our community and clients with a clearer picture of how to negotiate these areas. You may not need representation today, but in the future that might be a different story.
Serving Our Community
These important topics are an important way to serve the community to Mr. Sturgell. By supporting Phoenix, AZ, it supports us in turn whether we’re involved personally or not.
Liability Decisions Are Not Always Permanent
When involved in an accident, it is human nature to assume that when the other driver or their insurance carrier admits fault for the accident, one’s damages will be paid. Not so fast. Recently, a client of mine was hit. The adverse insurance carrier accepted liability and paid her rental car and storage fees. However, once my client’s vehicle was deemed a total loss and the medical bills began to pile up, the story changed. Now, the carrier is accepting only a portion of the fault for the accident. Please contact us IMMEDIATELY following your accident so we can preserve your rights for the duration of your case.
Documenting Lost Wages After an Arizona Auto Accident
Often, one of the most difficult questions facing our clients is how to deal with the lost income they typically experience after an automobile accident as a result of becoming temporarily or permanently disabled due to their injuries. Documentation is key in these circumstances. Our firm can walk you through the steps necessary now to preserve this claim later.
Insurance Says: “We Don’t Owe You Anything!”
Sadly, the insurance industry is taking more aggressive steps to limit claims payments every day. The latest: a letter to a claimant immediately following her accident informing her that this was a “minor” accident and she should be “on notice” that there “will not be any offer made” for her injuries. Simply put, it is impossible to combat this behavior without the ability to file a lawsuit. Put your trust in the Sturgell Law Firm to litigate your claim if necessary in order to recover what you have lost.
Insurance Companies are Getting Even Tougher
In an alarming trend, we have noticed of recent that insurance carriers are taking more severe and more outrageous steps to deny our clients’ claims. A recent example includes an attempt to blame a home vandalism claim in which our client was a victim years prior to his car accident as a possible explanation for our client’s back injury. Please do not be fooled by insurance carriers’ attempts gather information by speaking with you prior to retaining a lawyer. Please call as soon as possible following your accident so we can adequately protect your rights.
