COMMON Catastrophic INJURY QUESTIONS
1. WHO IS LIABLE FOR A CATASTROPHIC INJURY?
2. WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER A CATASTROPHIC INJURY?
If you’ve experienced a catastrophic injury as a result of a car accident that is not your fault in Arizona, it is essential to follow these steps to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries:
- Hire an experienced Catastrophic Injury Lawyer immediately. Call us at 602-600-6427 to schedule your free consultation.
- Do not discuss your Catastrophic Injury case with anyone, particularly insurance representatives or investigators. If they approach you, gather their name, company, and who they represent, then refer them to our office immediately. Do not provide them with any information or sign any documents.
- Refrain from posting any information regarding your accident or injuries on any social media platform (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, FitBit, Health Apps, Blogs, etc.). Maintain a private profile, as anyone seeking information could represent an adverse party or an insurance company, and any disclosed information could potentially harm your case.
- Keep all evidence that will connect your Catastrophic injury to the car accident, such as photos or videos, and the contact details of any witnesses.
- Seek medical treatment promptly and follow all your doctor’s recommendations. Report all medical complaints to your doctor, even minor ones, for proper documentation and evaluation. This not only aids in faster recovery but also prevents insurance companies from claiming your medical issues stemmed from failing to follow medical advice.
- Write a list of all symptoms related to your accident, even minor ones. This can prevent overlooking minor issues that may worsen over time. Keep track of your pain levels and any activities you’re unable to do due to your injuries, at least weekly or when significant changes occur.
- Do not give written or recorded statements to the insurance company. Let your Catastrophic Injury lawyer handle all communications.
3. IS IT OK TO SPEAK WITH THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE OR RISK MANAGEMENT COMPANY?
Generally, no. You should NEVER communicate directly with representatives from the other party’s insurance company or risk management company unless your catastrophic injury lawyer has authorized you to do so. You should only discuss the specifics of the accident or your injuries with your lawyer.
If a representative attempts to contact you, kindly inform them that you have engaged an attorney to represent you. The representative should then contact your attorney and cease contacting you. If they persist in contacting you, immediately notify your attorney. We will then file a complaint with the Department of Insurance or the appropriate governing body, as it is unfair claims practice for a representative to contact a party they know is represented by an attorney.
4. SHOULD I POST ANYTHING ABOUT MY ACCIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
5. SHOULD I ACCEPT MONEY FROM THE INSURANCE OR RISK MANAGEMENT COMPANY BEFORE SPEAKING WITH A LAWYER?
Generally, the answer is “No”. Remember, neither the insurance company nor the risk management company works for you – they work for the entity responsible for your accident. Often, even before you receive medical attention and understand the full extent of your injuries, a claims adjuster may contact you and present a low, inadequate offer. They hope that you’ll accept this offer before fully comprehending your damages.
Many people accept these offers and sign a release, only to discover further complications “down the road”. In many states, including Arizona, such a release is usually worded in a way that makes it nearly impossible to seek further compensation after signing, even if you discover your injuries are much more serious than initially anticipated. It is strongly advised not to agree to any offers without first consulting a proficient Arizona catastrophic injury attorney.
6. DO I NEED TO HIRE A CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYER TO HANDLE MY CLAIM?
7. WHEN SHOULD I HIRE A CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYER?
8. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A CATASTROPHIC INJURY CLAIM?
9. HOW LONG WILL MY ARIZONA CATASTROPHIC INJURY CLAIM TAKE?
It’s challenging to pinpoint an exact timeline for your catastrophic injury claim due to the unique aspects of every case. Generally, cases that settle before filing a lawsuit conclude more rapidly than those going to trial.
At Warnock MacKinlay Law, we are committed to securing the maximum compensation in the shortest time possible, balancing the need for thoroughness and speed. Typically, cases might settle two to four months after your medical care is completed. However, this timeframe can be shorter or longer depending on various factors such as the complexity of your case, the entities involved, and the extent of your injuries. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through this process, no matter the length of time required.
10. DO I HAVE TO PAY MY CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYER ANYTHING BEFORE THE CASE IS RESOLVED?
11. ARE CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYERS WORTH IT?
12. CAN I CHANGE CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYERS?
13. SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR?
14. WILL IT HURT MY CASE IF I STOP TREATMENT WITHOUT MY DOCTOR’S APPROVAL OR MISS APPOINTMENTS?
15. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I DON’T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE AND CAN'T PAY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT?
16. WHAT IS MY CATASTROPHIC INJURY CASE WORTH?
The amount of money you will ultimately recover depends on a variety of issues, the most important of which is the nature of your injuries caused by the accident and the comprehensive medical treatment you receive for those injuries.
At Warnock MacKinlay Law, we will help you seek reimbursement for any or all of the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of love and support
- Mental and emotional distress
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Permanent impairment and disability

17. WILL I HAVE TO GO TO COURT IF I FILE A CATASTROPHIC INJURY CLAIM?
At Warnock MacKinlay Law, our expertise lies in building value for your injuries and achieving the best possible financial outcome without the necessity of going to trial. While in certain cases a lawsuit might be necessary, most are resolved before reaching the trial stage.
The probability of a case being settled or going to trial depends on the specifics of each case. If an insurance company or risk management entity contests liability (fault) or disputes the value of your claim, your case might be more likely to go to trial.
Our team boasts over 100 years of combined experience and we are equipped to represent you effectively. It’s crucial to have a lawyer who is known by insurers to be willing to file a lawsuit if needed, as this can enhance the chances of achieving a favorable settlement through negotiation. Insurers are aware of the law firms that are prepared to file suit and those that aren’t.
