Gilbert Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Gilbert, AZ

Gilbert injury claims are usually heard in the Maricopa County Superior Court, most often at Maricopa County Superior Court - Central Court Building, 201 W Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85003. That venue is a fact of the crash location, not a slogan.

Arizona Personal Injury Law

The filing window and fault rule are statewide, not unique to Gilbert:

• Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit
• Fault System: Pure comparative fault
• No Damage Caps: Arizona does not cap personal injury damages
• Joint and Several Liability: Multiple defendants can be held fully liable
• Vicarious Liability: Vehicle owners may be liable for permissive use accidents

Arizona's pure comparative fault system allows you to recover damages even if you were mostly at fault for your accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Gilbert Corridors and Trauma Care

The corridors that show up in Gilbert injury files are specific: US-60 corridor, Loop 202 corridor, AZ-87 corridor, and Gilbert Rd corridor.

Serious trauma from those roads often starts at Banner Gateway Medical Center - Level IV.

Gilbert Injury Claims: Santan Freeway and the Arterial Grid

Gilbert's crashes mostly happen on its arterial grid, the long north-south roads like Gilbert Road, Val Vista Drive and Higley Road, and on Williams Field Road and the other east-west connectors that feed Loop 202 (the Santan Freeway). US-60 runs along the town's northern edge. Light rail stops at the Mesa line, so most trips in Gilbert are by car, and intersection crashes are the pattern we see.

• Getting the report: Gilbert Police Department crash reports from September 2008 on are available through BuyCrash.com with the DR number and date. Fatal and DUI reports go through Gilbert PD Records at the Civic Center.
• Hospitals in town: Banner Gateway Medical Center (Level IV) and Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. The Level I trauma centers serving Gilbert are Banner Desert in Mesa and Chandler Regional in Chandler.
• Court: Maricopa County Superior Court, where civil cases are heard at the downtown Phoenix court buildings on West Jefferson Street.

An intersection crash usually turns on signal timing, witness accounts and any video from nearby businesses or traffic cameras, and that footage is often overwritten within days. We ask for it right away. For what these claims tend to be worth, see Arizona car accident settlement ranges.

Arizona's 2 years statute of limitations means time is limited. If those facts match what happened, we can look at the file. If they don't, say so on the call.
