Personal injuries happen every day. Sometimes they are accidental, but sometimes they result from negligence. It could be willful neglect or ignorance on the part of the responsible party, but ignorance is no defense.
We all take care to keep ourselves safe, but those measures can only go so far if others do not do the same. When someone fails to watch the road while driving, block off hazardous areas, or keep a dangerous dog on a leash, they are negligent. You have a right to seek awards for your injuries if someone’s negligent actions harm you.
When someone causes an accident, the victim might be able to seek compensation. Injuries that negligence causes are costly, painful, and devastating. A lawsuit can seem daunting, but Ben Crump Law, PLLC, wants to help you.

File Your Lawsuit Now
It might seem overwhelming to pursue a lawsuit after your accident while still treating your injuries, but if you wait too long, you could lose your opportunity.
According to Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-542, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are a few rare exceptions to this rule.
A Tucson personal injury lawyer with Ben Crump Law, PLLC, can tell you how the statute of limitations applies to your case. We can also manage the legal work in your case so that you can focus on recovery. There are many ways a personal injury can happen, including:
- Slip and fall
- Medical malpractice
- Abuse and neglect
- Dog bite
- Vehicle accident (cars, buses, motorcycles, large commercial trucks)
- Defective products
All these instances can be the result of negligence. A slip and fall can happen when a store manager fails to clean up a spill promptly. A distracted driver can cause a car accident. A dog owner could be responsible when their pet bites an unsuspecting victim. Any one of these examples can leave the victim with life-altering injuries.
If you want to pursue a personal injury lawsuit, call to schedule a free consultation with a member of the legal team at Ben Crump Law, PLLC, today. The sooner you call, the sooner we can start on your case.

You Can Seek Compensation
You have no doubt suffered because of your injury. Of course, with any physical injury comes physical pain. Along with that, you must find time for doctor appointments and rehabilitation. You probably took some downtime to treat your injury as well, which means you lost time at work. Beyond losing money from missing work, you also miss out on social events with family and friends, leisure activities, and the simplicity of your day-to-day life before an injury.
It is not right that an injury you suffered through no fault of your own should put your life on hold. Simple tasks like picking up groceries or taking children to school can suddenly become challenging and time-consuming events. Physically completing these errands can be difficult. Beyond that, the accident might leave you mentally shaken.
Your injuries do not need to be completely life-changing for you to seek financial awards. Even a seemingly minor injury can cause a major disruption to your daily life. No matter what you have been through, if your accident was someone else’s fault, you can seek compensation.
Arizona does not limit the damages a person can pursue in an injury case, according to Article 2, Section 31 of the state’s constitution. This same rule applies to wrongful death lawsuits. There are some exceedingly rare exceptions. You can talk with a lawyer to understand how much you can ask for in compensation.
If the responsible party is telling you that you are at fault, you can talk with us. Do not make any major decisions based on what the other person is telling you. In Arizona, you can still recover damages, even if you are partly at fault. We can gather the details of your accident and build a strong case for you.
Damages You Can Recover
You have spent time and money recovering from your injuries. If your accident was someone else’s fault, you should not have to pay out anymore, and you should recover what you have already lost. There is no limit on the damages you could recover from a personal injury case, which include:
- Lost wages
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Humiliation
- Discomfort
- Inconvenience
- Loss of companionship, or a loss of the relationships the injured party once had
An attorney with Ben Crump Law, PLLC, can tell you what amount is appropriate for your case.
Any awards you receive for lost wages can cover the work you have already missed and what you will miss in the future. You may have suffered injuries, though, that preclude you from doing the work you did before the accident. Diminished earning capacity is the term for this.
If you had a manual labor job, for instance, but suffered a spinal cord injury, you might not be able to do that work anymore. You can pursue damages to compensate for that loss of future earning potential.
Damages such as pain and suffering, distress, and discomfort are non-economic losses, which have no set dollar value. They cannot be as easily calculated as property damage or medical bills, but you can still pursue them. A lawyer from our team at Ben Crump Law, PLLC, can help you assess and calculate your total damages accurately.
