Closed head Brain injury.

Only a doctor can diagnose this type of injury. I would be curious of his treatment history since the accident and what is diagnosed in the medical record. I recommend that you consult with an Arizona Personal Injury Attorney immediately. Arizona has a two year statute of limitations for actions arising out of negligence (auto accidents) and other statutes of limitations as short as 180 days for government entities. This means that your claim will very likely be forever barred by statute of...

Responsibility of Repairs and Maintenance of Condomium Complexes!

For the first part of your question, look to the CC&Rs (Covenants Conditions and Restrictions). Look in the Maintenance section. Whoever has the maintenance responsibility for that component pursuant to the CC&Rs is required to maintain it. It may be the homeowner or the association. If you need additional help regarding interpreting your CC&Rs, I recommend that you contact a HOA general counsel attorney, I can refer you to one if you would like. If there is defective construction, AZ...

Roofing problems after 4 years. Is the General Contractor still responsible?

I recommend that you contact an attorney immediately. In Arizona, there are different statutes of limitations depending on the nature of the claim. For example, you have two years from discovery to bring a negligence claim. Contract claims are time barred in AZ after three, four, or six years, depending on the nature of the contract. (See Arizona Statutes A.R.S. sections 12-541 through 556, et seq.) Implied warranty claims, which may be your best claim for construction defects, have a...

I think that any attorney would have to read the contract to determine what your risk would be if you cancel the contract. I recommend that you consult with an attorney now to hopefully plan an amiable way to stop work on this project. It may be much better to consult with an attorney sooner rather than later because you may end up paying more in costs and attorneys fees if you comprimise your position when consulting with an attorney might have avoided that. Many attorneys offer free...

Can someone bring a wrongful death lawsuit against a deceased person in Arizona?

Yes. As Mr. Garner correctly pointed out, the claim would technically be made against the person's estate. I would add that there may be applicable insurance coverage and additionally that Arizona has numerous wrongful death statutes, statutes of limitation, and other relevant statutes. You should consult with an Arizona attorney immediately!

What is the going rate for personal injury attorney. Is it a percentage of what you get and how much of a percentage on say 250,

The traditional and most common contingency fee is one third or 33 1/3%. I can tell you that for personal injury cases in Arizona, I recommend that you always have a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. It does make a difference for your net or 'in pocket' recovery. In my experience in AZ practice, not only does having legal representation maximize your in pocket recovery, but it also helps make sure that there are no problems with your case that could cause problems for you in the...
