Comparative Negligence & Absolute Fault

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident because of somebody else’s negligence, call a car accident lawyer in Phoenix for fast legal action right away. You likely have a plethora of questions regarding the accident itself and how your rights may apply. Injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages and even the ability to work are all issues that you should seek answers to as soon as possible. In most cases, victims need to file a personal injury claim to recover damages. However, some states consider rear-end and head-on collisions to be rear-end collisions when it has to do with the vehicle’s side impact. This can make a difference in how much compensation is recovered.

 

Because these types of accidents usually involve injuries on the part of the victim, the first thing you should do is consult with an attorney who specializes in personal injury claims. Your attorney will examine the details of your case and discuss the applicable Florida law. He or she will also discuss whether you should pursue a lawsuit on your own behalf, which could require a large financial investment by the insurance company or compensate you for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

If the side impact of the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver of the other vehicle, you and your attorney will still file a lawsuit. This is often the case, especially if it is proven that the other driver was clearly negligent. This type of case does not always result in monetary compensation; it may only bring about rehabilitation of your physical or emotional health.

 

In some cases, drivers are not aware that they are legally responsible for the damages and injuries caused during an accident. For this reason, they often try to avoid paying compensation, thinking that it is against the law. You should not let this be a ploy to avoid paying your medical bills and other liability-causing expenses. If you have been injured, your lawyer will work hard to get you the most financially and medically beneficial settlement possible. This may require a long and drawn-out court battle, but it is worth it to receive the largest payouts possible.

 

While these types of accidents are often the result of another driver’s negligence or lack of attention, sometimes they are caused by something else entirely. It can be surprising to learn, for example, that sometimes drunk drivers have no idea that they are texting or talking on their cell phones while behind the wheel. Some drunk drivers may not even realize that they have taken drugs or alcohol in their system, despite the fact that these things can play a significant role in causing these types of accidents.

 

If you or someone you know has been seriously injured as the result of an auto accident in Phoenix, you should consult with a skilled and experienced Phoenix car accident lawyer. A Phoenix lawyer can evaluate your case based on comparative negligence laws and determine whether you have a reasonable chance of winning your case or pursuing a case of absolute fault. They will be able to determine if the insurance company will be able to prove that you were partially at fault for the accident or hold you liable for both parts of the damage.

Steven Kay QC Case Involving Liechtenstein Trust Company Featured in Article for Independent

  • September 30, 2015

A piece for the Independent website features a case currently being worked on by Steven Kay QC. It concerns a woman called Tamar Perry, who is involved in legal proceedings against a trust company based in Liechtenstein: the Lopag Trust. The article itself focuses on Liechtenstein’s role as a tax haven.

Ms Perry and her family have been unable to gain access to their fortune in the trust that was settled by her late father, an Israeli tycoon. Ms Perry believes the principal trustee: Dr Dieter Neupert, a Swiss lawyer, is responsible. Furthermore she suspects the directors of Lopag: Louis Oehri and Dominik Naeff to also be involved. According to the article Neupert denies the allegations and and the Lopag Trust have been limited in their responses to the claims.

The Liechtenstein court has concluded that neither Tamar Perry nor the other beneficiaries have any legal rights. Taking this into account, Ms Perry has secured the services of Steven Kay QC to help in her proceedings against Dieter Neupert, Oehri and Naeff.

Ms Perry told the Independent that: “I just want to warn people that if they are thinking of placing their assets in a trust registered in Liechtenstein, then they should run away as fast as possible because they will find that the trustees will become the beneficiaries.”

“Then the judge and Liechtenstein Trust committee will take the side of the trustees. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been set up in this way but I intend to be the last one. The lesson here is that you cannot always trust the trustees,” she added.
