It is an important question, anyone that's going through tremendous tragedy such as the loss of a loved one is feeling a tremendous amount of pressure they're feeling emotional time and one of the last things a lot of people wanna do is reach out to an attorney at that time. But unfortunately it is an important step for people to do, there's a lot of information that they can gather to make sure that their priorities are in order to take care of what they need to in this situation. So I have some advice on how to find it, the best injury attorney for a wrongful death claim. In Arizona, I'll just talk about the law, though, just briefly for him. In Arizona only certain people can bring a claim, so the surviving spouse, the surviving child, surviving parent or guardian, and then there's personal representatives that can bring a claim, and a personal representative of estate or a personal representative of one of those other parties: the spouse, child, parents. Notably, the brothers, sisters, siblings can not bring a claim and they have two years from the date of the accident or death to bring the claim. Now, what people are looking for as far as the damages there's a variety of things, you can get burial expenses, you can get medical bills, lost wages, there's two different kinds of damages that can be gathered. Also, the loss of care, loss of wages, companionship. There's just a tremendous amount of things to consider. So, the important thing is to find the right attorney to do this. So I have five things that I think are gonna be very helpful for people that are in this situation to find that attorney that's gonna help 'em through it. First, I think people need to have a personal meeting with at least two attorneys. I think a phone conversation is good and maybe call several attorneys, but actually to sit down with your favorite two, and go to their office, meet their staff, meet the people involved and have a face to face conversation with them, I think that's very important. Maybe before that would be review their experience the second thing there is to look at what their experience is, look at what other people have said about them online if you have anyone that knows them ask about them.

And the third thing that I think, and I think is is important too, is maybe ask other lawyers that they know, so maybe they know a contract attorney or estate planning attorney. Attorney's know other attorneys and they know who the good attorneys are, so you could ask other attorneys who they would recommend that handles wrongful death claims. That's something that is kind of a good way to get a list of attorneys to call. And then finally, you wanna find someone that you click with. And make sure that they're someone that is personable and seems like they're gonna handle your claim through and through. And one other thing I don't wanna forget to mention is to make sure that their firm has the resources to pursue the claim. They understand how to preserve the evidence, they have the resources to see it through and get along with them well and get a good relationship with them. And I thing those are some good tips for people to look at when searching for an injury attorney. My firm does handle this types of cases and I can speak with any of them for a consultation, a free consultation. Just gimme a call at 602-283-4122. The firm's Kelly Law team and I'd be happy to discuss that with anyone whose going through a tragedy like this. - Excellent.
