Light rail accident cases require immediate action. The deadlines for action in these cases, because they involve a government entity, are much shorter than in other personal injury cases. In fact, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is half of what it would be for other personal injury claims. Equally important is the fact that a formal notice of claim must be provided to any governmental agency against whom a negligence claim is being made, and the claim must be made quickly, as required by Arizona statute, and as a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit. If the statute is not strictly complied with, the claim can be lost. As a result, it is imperative that an experienced and competent attorney be promptly retained to protect your legal right to bring a claim.

At our law firm, we will not hesitate to take action against a government entity if that entity has caused harm. As a governmental entity or agency, they are just as responsible as an individual or business for the harm they cause due to their negligence.
