Car Accidents

If you were injured in a car accident due to the negligence or recklessness of another driver, you should contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.  

Millions of people are injured every year in car accidents and many of those people suffer serious injuries.  As a matter of fact, every 10 seconds someone is involved in a car accident.  (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

The law of negligence is the deciding factor in Phoenix Arizona car accidents.  Anyone who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for any damages, person or property, which was caused by their negligence.  Reasonable care must be exercised by people who operate automobiles.  In Arizona, most lawsuits are based on a failure to use reasonable care when operating a vehicle.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, contact a legal professional at Saigh Law Offices as soon as possible.  Whether if it was from a lack of safety warning, poor lighting, or a slippery surface, you could be facing serious injuries including broken bones, brain injuries, and much more.

Slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of injury in the United States.  A slip & fall accident is sudden and unexpected.  However, this split-second experience can be traumatic and can result in serious injuries.  Those who own or maintain properties are responsible for the condition and safety of the premises.  There are many contributing factors that can cause a slip and fall accident.  For example, slippery floors that were just cleaned may cause an individual to fall and sustain injuries.   Also, loose carpet or a loose tile may cause a person to slip and fall.  

At Saigh Law Offices, we provide aggressive representation for clients that suffer slip and fall accidents.  We understand that injuries affect a person physically, mentally, and emotionally.  

Common injuries from slip and fall accidents can include the following:

• Soft tissue damage, dislocations, fractures

• Back injury

• Neck Injury 

• Shoulder injury

• Knee injury

• Brain/Head injury

• Damage to internal organs

• Spinal cord injuries

• Paralysis

These injuries often inhibit the mobility of the elderly, which requires the elderly to become dependent on others.  The most serious slip & fall accidents can result in severe injuries, disability, disfigurement, or even death.  Injury victims may be eligible for monetary compensation if the accident was the result of the negligent actions of another.

Pedestrian accidents are very common.  Unfortunately, many of these pedestrian accidents end in serious injury.  Operators of motor vehicles often fail to look out for pedestrians instead while just focusing on other cars on the road.  This results in injury to innocent pedestrians.  Pedestrians can be injured while crossing a crosswalk or while walking on the side walk.  Pedestrians must be careful when walking around on the weekend, because the majority of collisions between pedestrians and motor vehicles occur on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the later evening hours.

No one expects to be injured while walking down the street, but accidents of this nature do happen.  For example, a driver could swerve off a road to avoid another car only to slam into a pedestrian walking on the side walk.  Unfortunately, pedestrians make up the second largest category of motor vehicle accident deaths following occupant deaths.

If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, it is important that you seek the advice and guidance of a skilled personal injury attorney.  Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable to motorists and other hazards, due to the lack of available protection.  

Mr. Saigh  has a solid grasp of the laws and circumstances surrounding pedestrian accidents in Arizona.  Mr. Saigh will use his knowledge and extensive experience to help you receive the compensation that is necessary to recover from your injuries.  The medical costs associated with pedestrian accidents can become a financial burden if the injured person does not have the assistance of a highly qualified personal injury attorney when negotiating the terms of compensation with the insurance company.

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer right away to get the dedicated help you need.

One of the most devastating things that can happen to a family is the loss of a loved one.  If a family member was killed because of the negligence of another, you could be entitled to compensation.

When a family member dies due to the fault of someone else, a claim for a wrongful death suit can be filed against the negligent party.  The difference between a wrongful death claim and a personal injury claim is that the victim is not bringing forth the suit, but rather a family member or the victim’s estate brings the suit.  In Arizona, a wrongful death claim allows the survivors to recover damages they suffered.  The main reason for a wrongful death suit is to provide monetary compensation to the family that has been emotionally and financially injured due to the death of the family member.

The action for a wrongful death claim is governed by statute.  Therefore, there is a limit as to who may file a claim.  As a general rule, the surviving spouse and children may file the claim. In Arizona, the plaintiff must bring a claim for a wrongful death action within 1-year of the date of the victim’s death.

In Arizona, a wrongful death claimant must demonstrate:

1. Liability.  The claimant must be able to prove that somebody else was negligent.  A Phoenix wrongful death lawyer has to be able to prove that the conduct of the other party was negligent and fell below the ordinary standard of care.  

2. Causation.  The Phoenix wrongful death lawyer must be able to show that it was the negligence itself that led to the wrongful death.  Sometimes this is obvious.  However, other times, particularly where there is a time delay between the time of the negligent incident and the time that the person passed away, proving causation can be very challenging.

3. Damages.  The Phoenix wrongful death attorney that has been retained has to prove the amount of compensation that would reasonably compensate the victim's family.

In Arizona, the responsible party may be responsible for damages that can include the following:

• Loss of love, companionship, and guidance 

• Pain and suffering the deceased incurred

• Loss of service to the family

• Medical and out-of-pocket costs before the death occurred

• Loss of future income of the deceased

Owners of animals have the responsibility to ensure that their pets are safe to be around humans.  Saigh Law Offices will help you hold owners liable for their animals and help you receive compensation for your injuries.

According to Arizona law, most dog bite attacks are "strict liability" cases.  As a result, if a dog bites you, the owner is liable.  Strict liability does not require that you provide proof of negligence on the owner's behalf.  The only exception to this rule is when the dog bite victim caused or provoked the dog to bite the victim.  If you or someone you care about has been injured by a dog bite, a Phoenix personal injury lawyer is available to assist you.

All throughout the United States, dogs are very popular pets.  Many of these household pets are safe and would not be considered a threat.  Unfortunately, as no animal is perfect, there are some dogs that tend to bite or injure humans when the dog is not physically restrained or properly supervised.  When dogs like these are let loose in a neighborhood, a home, or similar situation, they pose a serious threat to humans.  Children and adults who are in the vicinity of these unrestrained dogs can easily aggravate the dog and are therefore at risk of serious injury.

It is very important to hire an experienced attorney if you have been injured by a dog bite.  Saigh Law Offices will be able to assist you to recover compensation for the injuries that you or your loved one has sustained.  Unfortunately, the largest percentages of people who have sustained dog bite injuries are children and juveniles.

Usually, compensation is recovered from the dog owner's homeowner's insurance.  The compensation for dog bite injuries depends on many different factors and circumstances. For example, if the dog owner had knowledge that the dog might attack, or that it had previously attacked, this is something that would act in your favor.

Dog attacks can be very shocking and end up causing someone extreme pain and emotional distress, especially children.  Also, emotional trauma and the possibility of permanent scarring can be very stressful to deal with after a dog bite.  Mr. Saigh is trained to use all of the facts of your dog attack to obtain the largest compensation possible for your claim.

If you have been involved in a dog bite accident, contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer right away to get the dedicated help you need.

Medical malpractice refers to mistakes made by doctors, nurses, hospital staff, pharmacists, and other health care professionals.  Unfortunately, these mistakes cause death and injury to many Americans every year.  As a matter of fact, more Americans die as a result of medical malpractice than from diseases such as breast cancer or AIDS.  

Some surgical errors and serious misdiagnoses can threaten the lives of patients or cause critical injuries and trauma. These catastrophic malpractice injuries require the assistance of a Phoenix medical malpractice lawyer to ensure that the victim and victim’s family are adequately compensated.  These cases are highly complicated and require a great investment of time and financial resources.  Mr. Saigh is here to enforce your rights.  

Other times, it is difficult, if not impossible, for patients or their families to know when a medical mistake has been made.  An Arizona medical malpractice lawyer can help you evaluate your potential claim.  

Medical malpractice often occurs under one of these circumstances:

• Delay or failure to diagnose 

• Failure to properly treat a disease or condition

• Failure to take appropriate measures to ensure the birth of a healthy child

• Heart attack or stroke misdiagnosis

• Surgical error and post-surgical infection

• Medication error (overdose, under dose, fatal drug interactions)

• Misuse of a medical device or implant

• Failure to get informed consent from a patient to undergo an operation

Hospitals can be held accountable for the negligence caused by the doctors, practitioners, and administrative personnel.  Hospitals have a standard of care and rules and procedures that the staff must follow.  If physicians or other hospital employees were careless, lacked proper skills, or disregarded established rules and procedures, the hospital can be held responsible for their negligence.  Mistakes occur not only in hospitals but in surgery centers, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, and home care.  

Civil lawsuits have been filed when some breach of care or procedural rule has occurred in a hospital.  An experienced Phoenix medical malpractice attorney can help you evaluate the circumstances surrounding hospital negligence and medical malpractice.  Mr. Saigh will evaluate hospital negligence and advise each individual if they have a possible case.

If you or a loved one has been injured by medical negligence, call Saigh Law Offices now or CLICK HERE to submit a Free Case Evaluation.  If a mistake was made, you may have a valid medical malpractice lawsuit and are entitled to compensation for your injuries.  Remember, there are no fees or costs for you to pay unless we obtain a financial settlement for you.
