Multiple Party Liability
If more than one person party had contributed to accident, the personal injury lawyer Phoenix accident claim can be filed under the liability insurance of all involved parties.
It is fairly common for more than one person to contribute to a car accident in a personal injury lawyer Phoenix case. It may have been the drivers of two other vehicles, or another vehicle and even a hazard in the roadway.
If the coverage of one person at fault is not sufficient to cover all damages to an injured party, the remainder of what the claimant is entitled to can be collected from the other person who was at fault. A third party accident victim claimant cannot collect more than the full amount of her damages from all responsible parties together, however, they can collect the entire amount from any one of the responsible parties. In Arizona, this also depends on the responsible parties individual percentage of fault as well as the injured passenger's comparative fault, if any.
It should be noted that a personal injury lawyer Phoenix claimant is not responsible to determine which responsible party's insurance company should pay out first. This is the obligation of the insurance providers and when notified, the companies will be obligated to decide between themselves the levels of responsibility, i.e. which will be of the primary coverage and which will serve as secondary coverage provider.
