Gilbert Auto Accident Lawyer

If you've been involved in a car crash, it's critical that you contact an Arizona personal injury attorney immediately. Make sure critical deadlines are met, that evidence is saved, and that initial negotiations with insurance companies are done properly so your chances of financial recovery aren't damaged.

People who are driving motor vehicles of any type cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles are required to exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." If a driver fails to use reasonable care and someone is hurt, it is negligence and that driver is liable to pay for damages and injuries.

The injured person (or his or her attorney) must prove negligence was the cause of the accident. Figuring out who was at fault in a car wreck can be difficult. That's why it's important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney.

At Wilson-Goodman & Fong, P.C., we have handled hundreds of car accident cases. We know how to investigate a case and what to look for when proving negligence, such as:

• Disobeying traffic signs or signals
• Failing to signal while turning
• Driving above or below the posted speed limit
• Disregarding weather or traffic conditions along busy freeways, such as Interstate 60, I-10, I-17, the 101 or the 202 (Superstition Freeway, San Tan Freeway)
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Improper or excessive lane changing
• Failing to signal intent
• Improper passing
• Using an emergency lane or shoulder to pass
• Reckless driving

Accidents Caused by Defects

Some accidents are caused by a defect in someone's car or truck. In such cases, the manufacturer may be responsible for injuries. In some instances, a state or federal government transportation department of transit authority may be responsible if factors contributing to the accident included:

• Poorly maintained roads
• Malfunctioning traffic signals
• Improper road design and construction
• Poor or missing signage
• Poor lighting or lack of lighting
• Poorly placed trees and utility poles
• Badly marked construction
