What is the difference between litigation and mediation in a personal injury case? Litigation is a formal court proceeding before a judge and potentially a jury. It occurs when a case is not settled in a timely manner or cannot be settled. Litigation may include hearings and a trial, at the end of which the judge or jury determines the outcome. Mediation is a third-party process that is completed privately outside of the court system. A mediator acts as a neutral party, hearing arguments and evaluating evidence from both sides. It may be faster and less expensive, but it must be agreed upon by both parties. https://bit.ly/4owsfWo

In Arizona, you can request compensation for lost wages when filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Lost wages are wages that you missed due to an injury or mental health issues related to an injury. You can also include potential future lost earnings. To prove lost wages, our attorneys will need documentation like pay stubs, tax returns, and other wage and benefit verification documents. They will then need to demonstrate a link between your injuries and your past and future lost wages or loss of earning capacity. This can be done with medical records, physician statements, expert witness statements, and employer statements. https://bit.ly/4lpdFNR

How much do social security benefits increase each year? Social security benefits must increase according to annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLA). The SSA determines annual COLAs by comparing the average consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers from the third quarter of the previous year to that same data from the current year. For instance, in 2025, SSI payments increased by 2.5%. Another increase will be calculated before December 31, 2025. https://bit.ly/4llt0io

If you decide to file a personal injury lawsuit after being in a car accident, your attorney will gather evidence and documentation that proves the other driver was at fault. A common cause of vehicle collisions in Arizona is distracted driving. Your attorney will try to prove that the other driver was distracted by their phone, stereo, or GPS or by other passengers in the car. They may also try to prove that they took their hands off the wheel or their eyes off the road. They may be able to uncover evidence that the driver was distracted for personal reasons, such as a fight with a spouse, being under excessive stress, or dealing with work problems. If you are suffering from car accident injuries in Tucson and need a personal injury attorney, call us today. https://bit.ly/3IKZ7dI

How many times can you appeal an SSI denial in Arizona? Many social security disability insurance claims are denied the first time the applicant applies. If you believe your application was wrongfully denied, you must appeal it, at least two times, in most cases. This means that you will often go through several levels of the SSI appeals process before the process is final. The levels of appeal are reconsideration, a hearing with an administrative judge, and appeals council review, and a federal court review. Call now to get assistance with filing an SSI appeal. https://bit.ly/3IISlVU

In Arizona, the most common reasons that disability benefits are revoked are evidence of substantial gainful activity, medical improvement, failure to cooperate with the application or benefits process, failure to follow your doctor’s advice, or being sentenced to prison time for a year or more. If you need assistance filing an SSI appeal in Arizona, call us now. https://bit.ly/3IISlVU

What is loss of consortium after an injury, and why would you claim it in a personal injury case? Loss of consortium is the loss of the benefits of a romantic relationship, including affection, support, or sexual contact, due to the injury you have sustained. Loss of consortium can be caused by a physical injury or the emotional after-effects of an injury or treatment. You might claim loss of consortium if an injury has taken a major toll on your romantic or family life and has caused significant emotional distress to everyone involved. You might also claim it if you are facing a divorce or breakup due to your injuries. If you need an attorney for your personal injury case in Tucson, call us now. https://bit.ly/3IKZ7dI
