March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month. This observance was designed to educate the public on the impact of brain injuries, highlight prevention strategies, and reduce the stigma surrounding the lasting effects of these injuries. 5.3 million Americans currently live with a permanent brain injury-related disability. Hallinan & Killpack works hard to secure compensation for injuries in lawsuits, settlements, and insurance payouts, as well as providing professional assistance and representation for clients filing for disability due to their injuries.

Understanding how a personal injury award is distributed: If you win a personal injury case, the court will issue a judgment award or the defendant will enter into a settlement agreement. When this happens, a check is sent directly to your attorney. Your attorney will withdraw their fee and court costs, and will distribute funds to cover medical liens and other approved expenses. The remaining amount will then be given to the victim in a lump sum or as part of a structured payment plan. If you need a personal injury attorney in Arizona, call Hallinan & Killpack today.

How is fault determined in a pedestrian accident? In Arizona, the court uses the principle of comparative negligence to determine fault in a pedestrian accident. A judge or jury will examine all of the evidence in the case to make a decision as to whether a pedestrian contributed to the circumstances of the accident in any way. If you were crossing against the light, jaywalking, or walking in an unsafe area not designated for pedestrians, you may be found partially liable for your injuries. This could affect the amount of your judgment. To protect your rights, call Hallinan & Killpack today.

What is an alleged onset date (AOD) in a social security disability case, and how is it calculated? Your AOD is the date that your disability began. However, this date will have to be substantiated through evidence as it will be used to calculate the past due benefits or backpay you are eligible for. This date isn’t the date you were diagnosed, but the date that you were prevented from seeking or continuing employment due to the effects of your injury or illness. Your attorney will use medical records, employment records, witness and expert testimony, and other evidence to prove this date. Call Hallinan & Killpack now to get legal advice on applying for SSDI in Arizona.

If you are receiving SSDI benefits, you may be eligible to apply for auxiliary benefits, or additional benefits for a spouse or family member. Additional benefits may be awarded to dependents, even if they are not disabled themselves. However, there are very strict qualification regulations in place that can be difficult to understand. If you’re not sure if your spouse, child, or parent qualifies for auxiliary benefits, call us now to schedule a consultation and our experienced SSDI attorneys will review your case.

In Arizona, victims are legally allowed to pursue financial and non-financial damages in a personal injury claim after an accident. Non-financial damages relate to emotional or mental health issues caused by the injuries sustained or the circumstances of the accident. Your personal injury attorney will use a few methods to prove emotional distress in a personal injury case: medical and counseling records, witness testimony, personal testimony or documentation, and physical evidence. An experienced lawyer can draw a clear connection between your injuries and the mental and emotional effects you have suffered as a result. Call Hallinan & Killpack now to learn more about how we can help.

If your SSDI claim is denied, you should not file a new claim. A new claim will likely be denied again due to your prior denial. Instead, you must follow the SSA’s process for filing an appeal. If you’re not sure why your claim was denied or what the process is for appealing the decision, our SSDI attorneys can help. Call Hallinan & Killpack today.

It’s a myth that you aren’t eligible for compensation for injuries sustained in a bicycle accident if you weren’t wearing a helmet. In Arizona, you still have the right to file a personal injury claim or receive an insurance payout, even if you were not wearing a helmet when injured. However, it can help to seek representation from a bicycle accident lawyer to protect your rights. Call us now to schedule a consultation.
