Available Damages After a Car Crash
Most personal injury damages are either economic or non-economic. Economic damages compensate victims for financial losses they suffered due to their accident. These can include lost wages, medical bills, property damage, loss of future earnings, or payment for physical therapy.
Some damages victims experience due to a car accident don’t have a specific financial value. Known as non-economic damages, these compensate victims for things they lost in an accident that can’t be bought back, such as pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.
Settlement values vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include the severity of the victim’s injuries, the victim’s ability to work and live a normal life following the accident, and the party liable for the accident. The Scottsdale car accident lawyers at Feller & Wendt, LLC™, do everything in our power to secure the best possible settlement for you.
Can I Receive Compensation if I Am Partially Liable for a Car Accident in Arizona?
In some cases, you might be partially at fault for a motor vehicle collision, even if the defendant’s negligence primarily caused the accident. In Arizona, comparative negligence does not bar you from recovering on a personal injury claim. Instead, it means the settlement you receive might be reduced by the amount you are liable for. Suppose the defendant was 70 percent responsible for the accident, but you also contributed 30 per cent. In that case, the damages awarded will be reduced proportionately.
Wrongful Death Damages for Car Accident Victims
There are also wrongful death damages designed to compensate grieving family members who were not directly involved in an accident. Even though nothing can make up for the sudden death of a loved one, wrongful death damages help families recover economic losses, such as medical bills, funeral costs, and loss of household income, as well as non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering endured by the deceased.
If your family member was killed in a car accident, you may be eligible to recover wrongful death damages. Our Scottsdale car accident lawyers can help you determine your rights.

Will My Car Accident Case Go to Court?
Most of our cases settle out of court thanks to our attorneys’ negotiation skills. In the rare event that a case goes to trial, we work with focus groups to develop successful strategies to convince a jury. We also prepare our clients in three-day “boot camps” to ensure they’re as comfortable and confident as possible going into the courtroom. When a case does go to trial, we do everything we can to make it as stress-free as possible for you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After a Car Crash in Arizona?
In Arizona, you normally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s important to file as early as possible, even if it seems like you have plenty of time before the clock runs out. Gathering evidence is easiest soon after an accident. Many key aspects of building a compelling case, including collecting medical records, gathering witness testimony, and accessing red-light camera footage, become more complex as time passes.
Starting the legal process early may feel daunting or even impossible while recovering from an injury. Feller & Wendt, LLC™, is ready to handle the legwork while you focus on putting your life back together after an accident.
