Why Navajo County Residents Need an Experienced Car Accident Lawyer

Living in Navajo County, Arizona, presents unique challenges when it comes to car accident claims. With its expansive rural roads, diverse terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions, residents face a higher risk of accidents when compared to drivers across the country.

Additionally, with most of the county being reservation land, accident claims may be difficult to navigate without specialized legal assistance.

If you have been in an accident in Navajo County, it’s important to have a personal injury attorney who’s experienced in trying car accident claims in the local area and Arizona as a whole. Local knowledge of the area’s physical landscape–as well as the area’s legal landscape–can make a substantial difference in achieving a favorable outcome for your case.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Navajo County

Like anywhere in the country, there are a lot of different factors that can lead to a car accident. However, there are a few accident causes that are unique to the Navajo County region. Some of the most common causes of accidents in the area include:

Speeding
Wildlife crossings
Agricultural vehicle crossings
Distracted driving
Fatigue
Failure to obey traffic laws
Poor road conditions
Weather conditions

It’s imperative for motorists to exercise caution and remain vigilant while navigating these roads to mitigate the likelihood of accidents and ensure safe travel for themselves and others.

Understanding Your Rights After a Car Accident in Navajo County

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, it’s important to know your rights, especially if the accident was not your fault. Immediately following an accident, you have the right to:

Seek medical attention and receive treatment for injuries
Speak with law enforcement about the accident and have them file a police report
Gather evidence of the accident, including pictures of the vehicles and the surrounding area
Gather information from the other people involved in the accident, like their name, phone number, address, and insurance information

Additionally, if someone else is responsible for your accident, you also have the right to file a claim with the other driver’s insurance company for medical bills and property damage. Arizona operates under a “fault” system, meaning that whoever was at fault for the accident is responsible for covering the damages resulting from the accident. You also have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party that caused your accident in the event that a fair settlement cannot be reached.

Types of Compensation Available to Car Accident Victims

Car accident victims in Navajo County, Arizona, may be entitled to various types of compensation to address the physical, emotional, and financial impact of the incident. Victims may be able to recover compensation for economic damages such as:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages
Loss of earning capacity
Property damage

Victims may also be able to recover compensation for non-economic damages to cover the emotional and non-tangible losses they suffered as a result of the accident. These may include:

Physical pain and suffering
Loss of consortium
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Emotional distress

How an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney Can Help

Personal injury lawyers who understand the challenges inherent to Navajo County can help victims easily navigate the complex legal system, ensuring that they receive the compensation they need to recover from their injuries and move forward with their lives. Below are some of the different ways that local personal injury lawyers can help their clients through this difficult process.

Initial Case Evaluation

An experienced Navajo County personal injury attorney can provide invaluable assistance in your claim, starting by conducting a thorough initial case evaluation. This involves gathering essential details about the car accident, including evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records.

At Belén Law Firm, we want to ensure that a person’s current financial situation is not a barrier between them and justice, which is why we offer each new client a free consultation. Navajo County residents can schedule a free initial case evaluation with a professional attorney on our team to discuss the eligibility of their case, at no cost to them.

Building Your Case

Once the initial case evaluation is complete, attorneys will begin the process of building a strong case on behalf of the car accident victim. This involves conducting further investigation, gathering additional evidence, and enlisting the expertise of accident reconstruction specialists or medical professionals, if necessary.

Navigating Insurance Claims and Settlements

Dealing with insurance companies can be daunting and complex, to say the least, especially when attempting to negotiate fair settlements for car accident injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney can serve as a steadfast advocate for the client throughout the insurance claims process, handling all communications with insurers and ensuring the client’s rights and best interests are protected.

Experienced Litigation

If insurance negotiations fail to reach a full and fair settlement, a personal injury attorney can provide their client with invaluable representation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party. With a deep understanding of Navajo County’s legal system and their extensive experience with representing clients in court, the personal injury lawyers at Belén Law Firm are well-equipped to advocate on behalf of their client.

What Our Clients Say

"We first hired Belen and her highly esteemed team of expert litigators. For her integrity and professionalism, but during the course of our representation, we gained a degree of personal trust and reliance far exceeding our expectations. Belen demonstrated an amazing level of genuine care and compassion and an implicit desire to keep us informed and knowledgeable of each step in the process. She is a diligent and hard worker and leaves no stone unturned. Our representation was nothing short of brilliant, creative and successful! She is without a doubt the Lady I want in my corner. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in winning their case with the least amount of headaches throughout the process."

"Belén is hands down the BEST defense attorney out there. She has the heart, compassion, determination, backbone and most of all, the desire to help her clients. Belén’s expertise and experience helped mitigate our case to receive a reduced sentence. She spent thousands of hours over the year and a half she represented our family to challenge the prosecution at every corner and on every angle. She went above what most attorneys do by hiring her own experts and investigators to ensure she went to battle fully loaded. Due to her dedication, determination and commitment, my family felt extremely satisfied and confident that she obtained the best outcome with a reduced sentence. Belén is a stand up human being who, not only represented our family, but became family. If you want the best defense attorney, Belen is your choice!"

"At a time where we felt helpless and, quite frankly traumatized, Belen stepped in and reassured us that we had options and assured us she would work her hardest for a satisfactory resolution. My teenage son needed defense against law enforcement and my family needed legal advice and support in the worst way. Despite being beaten black and blue by police officers that said he was resisting arrest, they also charged him with two felonies. We were all at a loss and Belen was able to keep us grounded as we went through the process explaining every step along the way. She worked extremely hard to expose the truth about the officer involved, and because of her hard work, the felonies were dropped. My son can go on with his life without having his record and character tarnished by these unjust accusations."

"Hire this one! I spoke to several firms before using Belen. Every other firm connected me to a sales person who refused to allow me to speak with an attorney. Belen was put on the phone when I called at 7pm on a Saturday. Belen cared about my son. He had a warrant for his arrest and did not know until he was pulled over and hauled off to jail. Belen went to the jail on Saturday, stood with my son in jail in front of the jailhouse court judge and told that judge how it was. My son walked out 2 hours later without paying for bail. The following week, she called the prosecutor and was able to get the plea reinstated from years prior that resulted in the case being fully dismissed. Also, her fees for everything were lower than the other attorneys who were trying to get me to pay over the phone. I highly recommend Belen!"
