Aggressive Advocacy for Your Rights and Recovery in Arizona
Accidents can occur anywhere and anytime, and far too many result in injuries. Various regulatory bodies have established countless safety measures and regulations to keep as many people safe as possible. Still, all the safety regulations in the world can’t protect you if someone acts negligently.

What Is Considered A ‘Serious Injury’?
Part of any serious injury claim includes proving to the insurance company for the other party and ultimately the jury that your injury is in fact serious and therefore merits compensation above and beyond that for a normal injury. This is something the attorneys at MayesTelles PLLC are well versed in. We’re prepared to handle all types of serious injury cases including, but not limited to:
- Amputations
- Burn Injuries
- Paraplegia / Quadriplegia
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Fetal Injuries / Fetal Death
Living With A Permanent Disability
Far too often, a serious injury results in a permanent disfigurement or disability that may require lengthy rehabilitation or permanent assistance, and the most devastating injuries may prevent the victim from ever returning to work. All of these costs add up quickly, and even if you are able to return to work, you may struggle to pay for the ever-accumulating medical bills and other costs brought on by your injury. It’s hard enough to manage changing your entire lifestyle to accommodate your injury, and you shouldn’t need to worry about being able to afford treatment you need to make as close to a full recovery as possible – if your injury was caused by another person’s wrongdoing, why should you be on the hook for the bill?
Navigating the Emotional and Psychological Effects
Serious injuries not only affect physical health but can also have profound emotional and psychological impacts. Victims may experience:
- Anxiety: Ongoing worry about recovery, financial burdens, and future uncertainties related to the injury.
- Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, which can significantly affect daily functioning.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe emotional distress related to the traumatic event impacting the victim's ability to lead an everyday life.
- Impact on Relationships: Strain on personal relationships due to changes in mood, behavior, and social interactions resulting from the injury.
- Reduced Quality of Life: Difficulty adjusting to new limitations and changes in lifestyle, affecting personal satisfaction and overall well-being.
Considering these psychological effects is crucial when seeking compensation, as they are integral to the overall impact of the injury on the victim’s life and future well-being.
The Statute of Limitations for Serious Injury Claims in Arizona
In Arizona, the statute of limitations is critical in pursuing a serious injury claim. Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time frame applies to most personal injury cases, including those involving serious injuries. If you fail to file within this period, you may forfeit your right to seek compensation for your injuries.
It's essential to be aware of this deadline because gathering evidence, consulting with experts, and building a solid case takes time. Early action can help ensure that your case is thoroughly prepared and that you meet all legal requirements. Consulting with an experienced attorney can guide navigating this timeframe effectively and protect your rights.
