Under Arizona law, when a person was injured due to another party’s negligent behavior, the victim may be entitled to financial compensation from the opposing party. Auto accident cases are among the most common personal injury cases in the United States. An auto accident personal injury case typically arises when a careless driver fails to follow the rules of the road or fails to drive as carefully as they should. Arizona is also known as an “at-fault” state, meaning that you and other accident drivers may be held partially responsible or at fault for your personal injury. Slip and fall claims are also common personal injury cases because property owners have a reasonable duty to keep their premises safe and free from dangerous hazards. Separately, medical malpractice refers to a type of personal injury case that arises when a doctor or other health care professional fails to provide treatment at the appropriate medical standard of care. Because of their failure to provide adequate medical care, a patient is injured.
