Phoenix Insurance Bad Faith Attorney

Shane Harward has built a solid reputation as an Phoenix, Arizona insurance bad faith attorney representing the interests of insureds against high powered insurance companies who are more concerned about the insurance companies' financial interests than honoring the insurance contract obligations to the insurance policyholders.An insurance bad faith attorney needs to be prepared to diligently fight to empower the insured client against the insurance companies which are often being motivated by greed.Mr. Harward continues to do this successfully.

If you've suffered severe personal injuries and someone is at fault ... we can help! Personal injury cases often involve serious and permanent injuries including head injury, spine injury, brain injury, burn injury, broken bones, knee injury, neck injury, back injury, shoulder injury, muscle and ligament injury, herniated or bulging discs, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia, and sometimes death.

The number of large trucks traveling on highways is increasing every year. Because trucking companies and truck drivers are motivated by profit, safety concerns often diminish and other drivers suffer the consequences. This is true for any truck accident or truck crash involving a semi truck, 18-wheeler, big rig, or even the neighborhood garbage truck.

Over 80% of multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcyclists are not the biker's fault. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other motorists, and motorcycle accident, motorcycle collisions, and motorcycle crashes often involve serious injuries, including brain injury, burns, fractures and breaks, dislocations, neck injuries, back injures, nerve injuries, paralysis, and spinal cord injury. Motorcyclists are often injured, through no fault of their own, by negligent car drivers and truck drivers who fail to see them or fail to yield the right of way.

Scottsdale Arizona Animal Attack / Dog Bite Attorney

Dog bites and animal attacks are unpredictable, and all too often result in serious personal injuries, emotional trauma, and even death in the case of a fatal attack. While pit bull attacks seemingly receive the most attention, any dog can obviously bite and, under certain circumstances, any dog or animal can become a dangerous animal. Many states, including Arizona , have specific dog bite laws that provide protection for dog bite victims.

"Slip and fall" accidents typically involve a situation where a person is injured by slipping, tripping and falling due to a dangerous condition. Falls can take place both inside and outside and can result from bad flooring, wet floors, poorly lighted steps, weather-related conditions, and hidden defects. Icy patches, a crack in a sidewalk, or a pothole are also factors that can cause serious slip and fall injuries.

While no human life can simply be defined by a monetary value, if you lose a treasured family member, you deserve to be reimbursed for the loss of income, support and companionship the person provided to you and your family. A "wrongful death" occurs when a person is killed due to the wrongful act, neglect or fault of another individual, company or entity. An action for wrongful death belongs to the decedent's immediate family members or estate depending upon the circumstances.
