If you’ve been involved in a wreck caused by a reckless driver, pursuing legal action should be your utmost priority. You shouldn’t have to pay for the actions of other people, and a lawsuit is the best way to hold someone accountable for their disregard for other drivers. Reckless driving is one of the most serious issues that drivers face on the road today. You can be on the road with a reckless driver at any time of day, without warning. Reckless drivers can cause crashes themselves or cause others to crash, resulting in costly car repair and medical bills for their victims.
Reckless driving is a broad category, defined loosely as any reckless behavior while driving. This includes obvious things such as drunk or drugged driving, but can also extend to things such as distracted driving or simply not wearing a seatbelt. All of these things increase the probability of a crash to some degree. They’re all vastly irresponsible things to do, and those that do them should be accountable for the pain that they cause to others.

Retaining a lawyer is absolutely essential for personal injury cases if you value your time and want to maximize the return you can get from a settlement. Personal injury litigation can be a very drawn-out process, and some cases can take one to two years to complete. Although lawyers do take a commission out of your eventual settlement, that fee is more than worth it, and you don’t have to pay up front.
If you choose not to pursue a lawsuit, you could be missing out on a potential six-figure settlement which could more than cover any repair or hospital bills that you may have sustained as a result of a wreck caused by a reckless driver. If you choose to represent yourself in court, not only will you miss the years of legal expertise that an attorney can provide, you’ll also be dedicating a significant portion of your life to pursuing justice instead of focusing on recovering. It’s been demonstrated that lawyers can net a settlement with much more value than a self-representing individual. If you value your time and your pocketbook, the path forward is a no-brainer.

Without the legal know-how from an attorney, you may have many questions you aren’t sure how to even find the answers for. To get you started, we’ve provided a few common questions we receive. Contact us at (520) 529-1515 to talk more about the specifics of your case.
In all personal injury cases, but especially with reckless drivers, documentation is your best friend. Of course, the first thing you should do is make sure that any of your passengers and anyone else involved in the crash is uninjured, and then call 911 so that they can clear the scene and get statements after that.
After you’ve accomplished this, however, your next step should be to document the crash. Take pictures if at all possible and get the contact information of witnesses who may be able to testify to the other driver’s fault later. Remember, it’s your word against theirs, so be sure that you have plenty of evidence to back you up.
In Arizona, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years. However, the legal process is difficult to navigate, and evidence such as eyewitness testimony is strongest when it’s recent. With this in mind, we advise that you contact a law firm as soon as possible after an encounter with a reckless driver. Not only will this get you your settlement as quickly as possible and help you settle your bills, but it will also increase your probability of winning the case.
However, if you’re just beginning to consider a personal injury suit a year or so after an accident, don’t despair.
