Personal Injury And Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer - Your Arizona Accident Attorney

We tailor our legal practice to fit your insurance / accident needs.

Personal injury accidents often involve claims of negligence, carelessness, and recklessness. While the main office of Law Offices of Shane L. Harward PLC is located in Scottsdale, Maricopa County, Arizona, our trial lawyers have represented injured clients in personal injury accident and wrongful death litigation throughout the entire State of Arizona and participated as co-counsel in the representation of personal injury clients throughout the United States.

Common injuries in personal injury cases include head injury, brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn injury, broken bones, fractures, knee injury, neck injury, back injury, shoulder injury, muscle and ligament injury, herniated or bulging discs, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and death if an accident results in a fatality.

Our areas of practice include:

1. Car Accident Involving Personal Injury – auto accident, motorcycle crashes, truck collisions, drunk driving accident, construction zone accident, and other accidents involving injuries caused by automobiles, cars, semi-trucks, trucks, and motorcycles on roads and highways.
    
2. Catastrophic Personal Injury – because of the specialized treatment and expense involved in catastrophic personal injury, it is essential to have a personal injury / accident attorney who has the knowledge of the particular injury and the recovery process. We have the experience to help you.
    
3. Spinal Cord Personal Injury and Brain Injury – a car accident involving a spinal cord personal injury or a brain injury is a severe injury that can have a long-term or permanent effect on a person's life. Our lawyers have the experience to help you.
    
4. Accident Caused by Government Agencies – what happens when those we turn to for help do the wrong thing? Our Arizona personal injury / accident attorney helps people who have been injured by improper police pursuits, by emergency ambulance vehicles, and by other government entities.
    
5. Semi-Truck and Truck Accident – there are a variety of reasons for semi truck accidents: Negligent hiring or training on the part of a trucking company, a truck driver who is overly tired or impaired, inattention, aggressive or reckless driving, improper load weight, commercial vehicle licensing standards that differ, and more.
    
6. Motorcycle Accident – including rear end collisions, hit and run accident, failure to yield the right of way, inattentive driving, and drunk driving accident involving motorcycles and motorcyclists. Our personal injury attorney can help motorcycle accident victims.
    
7. Drinking and Driving Accident – Arizona drivers with Blood Alcohol Concentrations (BACs) of .10 and above are annually involved in over 40,000 crashes that kill more than 300, and injure over 15,000 persons. Don't drink and drive! And, if you have suffered an injury or accident due to a drunk driver, make sure you have a personal injury / accident attorney who will work to ensure that the drunk driver is held accountable.
    
8. Animal Attacks and Dog Bites – dog bites and animal attacks are unpredictable, and all too often result in serious personal injury, emotional trauma, and even death in the case of a fatal attack. While pit bull attacks seemingly receive the most attention, any dog or animal can become a dangerous animal. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of dog bite / attack cases involve personal injury to a child. It is important that you have a personal injury attorney who has the experience and compassion to handle these emotionally draining cases.
    
9. Slip & Fall Accidents – "slip and fall" or "trip and fall" accident and personal injury cases typically involve a situation where a person is injured by slipping, tripping and falling due to a dangerous condition that has either been created by an inattentive person or business, or not cleaned up properly by an inattentive person or business.
    
10. Wrongful Death – lawsuits filed by the surviving dependents or beneficiaries of someone who has died in an accident. You must have a personal injury attorney willing to work to ensure that you receive compensation for full wrongful death damages: pain, grief, sorrow, anguish, stress, shock, mental suffering, loss of love, care, affection, companionship, protection and guidance.
     
11. Dangerous and Defective Products – including design flaws, design defects, manufacturing flaws, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings on consumer products causing personal injury or death.
     
12. Construction Site Accident – Construction sites are dangerous. Many construction workers are seriously injured or killed while simply doing their job on construction sites. The general public can also suffer an avoidable personal injury if a site is not properly secured.
     
13. Electrical Shock Injury – an electric shock personal injury is typically caused by lightning or an electric current from a mechanical source that passes through the body.
     
14. Dram Shop Litigation and Liability – “Dram Shop” cases involve the illegal sale of alcohol to minors or sale to obviously intoxicated people. The sellers of alcohol are liable for any accident or injury that result from illegal sales.
     
15. Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney - When a loved one is cared for by others in a nursing home setting, we expect competence, quality, kindness and concern. Unfortunately, the signs of negligence, inadequate care, and serious nursing home injury sometimes emerge and legal action must be taken to hold the nursing home accountable.
     
16. Insurance Bad Faith Attorney - Insurance bad faith and insurance contract dispute cases involve an insurance company placing its financial interest above the rights of the insurance consumer.
