FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What types of losses or damages can I recover?

A: Likely, types of damages you may never have even heard of! For example, did you know that in Arizona, you have the right to recover money above and beyond the cost to repair your vehicle after an accident? It's called Diminished Resale Value and it's just one of the services that we at Sturgell Johnson provide for our clients.

Depending on your specific case, you could receive compensation for one or many of the following categories:

Past medical expenses
Future medical expenses
Past and present pain and suffering
Future pain and suffering
Aggravation of a pre-existing condition
Past lost wages
Future lost income
Diminshed resale value
Diminished earning capacity
Loss of use of vehicles or other personal property
Damage to personal property

Q: Should I talk to an insurance company representative?

A: No. Let us notify your insurance company for you and take care of all the paperwork. DO NOT give a recorded statement, consent to a medical exam, or talk to any insurance company without first speaking with us. The insurance adjuster’s loyalty is to his or her company. His or her only objective is to reduce the amounts paid out in claims. The insurance adjuster will likely attempt to speak to you before you’ve had an opportunity to consult with a lawyer. He or she will likely ask suggestive questions and persuade you to make ill-advised statements that could damage your claim. Once we contact the insurance company on your behalf, they legally cannot contact you.

Q: What if I don't have health insurance?

A: When you have been injured in an accident, medical treatment should be your first concern. If you don’t have medical coverage, we will find a doctor who will treat your injuries now and wait for payment after your settlement. Do not delay, call us today at 602.6851061 to schedule an appointment as insurance companies may deny your claim if you do not seek treatment immediately after the accident.

Q: Do I have to pay my insurance company back if it pays my medical bills?

A: Under Arizona law, you do not have to pay an insurance company for benefits it pays under your insurance policy because of the wrongful act of another. There are two exceptions to this rule in Arizona. One, medical payments benefits paid to you by an automobile insurance carrier that later pays you benefits under uninsured or under-insured motorist coverages can be credited against those uninsured or under-insured benefits in certain cases. Two, workman's compensation benefits paid on account of an on-the-job injury must be repaid out of any recovery you receive from the person who hurt you. Furthermore, if the policy of insurance is properly issued under a federal law governing employee benefits, the insurer may have a right to reimbursement from any recovery you receive for your injuries.

Q: Do I have to take my vehicle to the insurance company's repair shop?

A: No. Do not let the auto insurance company dictate which repair shop you use. In fact, it is to your advantage to seek out an independant repair shop who will not "low ball" your estimate because of its relationship with the insurance company. Call us today at 602.685.1061 to find an independant repair facility in your area.

Q: What is Diminished Resale Value?

A: Diminished Resale Value is the reduction in value that a vehicle suffers after being involved in an accident. In the case of Inherent Diminished Value, this loss is suffered irrespective of whether the vehicle has been properly repaired. As a consumer in Arizona, you are entitled to make a claim for the reduction in the value of your vehicle in addition to the cost to repair the vehicle.
