Traveling this Labor Day weekend? Keep safety in the driver’s seat.

Labor Day weekend means more people on Arizona roads—and more opportunities for accidents. Whether you’re heading across town or taking a road trip, keep these tips in mind:

- Put your phone away and keep your attention on the road.
- Give yourself extra time so you’re not tempted to speed or drive aggressively.
- Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle ahead.
- Buckle up, every trip, every passenger.
- Never drive impaired. If you’ve been drinking or using anything that affects your ability to drive, find a safe ride home.
- Watch for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, especially in busy areas.
- Take breaks on longer trips if you’re feeling tired or distracted.

A little preparation can go a long way toward keeping you and your family safe.

From our team, have a safe Labor Day weekend!

Bicycle safety laws in Arizona aren’t always as straightforward as you might think.

While bicyclists generally have to follow the same rules of the road as motor vehicle drivers, there are important exceptions that every rider should understand.

For example, when a bicyclist enters a crosswalk, they may be treated under the same rules as a pedestrian—whether they are riding their bike or walking it across. Sidewalk riding rules can also vary depending on the city or town you’re in, so what’s allowed in one area may not be allowed somewhere else.

And remember: even something like not wearing a helmet can impact a bicycle accident claim, depending on the circumstances of the crash.

Whether you’re riding for exercise, commuting, or enjoying Arizona’s trails and neighborhoods, knowing the rules helps keep everyone safer. 🚴‍♀️

What is negligent security?

Negligent security occurs when a manager or property owner doesn’t take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts. Note the word “foreseeable” there—this means that property owners aren’t automatically held liable for any crime that occurs on their property. The courts look at whether or not the harm could have been prevented had the property owner anticipated it and taken appropriate precautions, based on prior incidents and known risks.

Examples of negligent security include:
— Broken locks on doors and gates
— No security personnel in high-risk areas
— Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, and walkways
— Surveillance cameras that do not work
— Failing to address complaints about safety concerns or previous incidents

If a property owner knew or should have known about a security risk and did not take steps to address it, they may be held legally responsible.

Hurt in Arizona? Golfing? Hiking? In an Uber? Don’t wait.

The sooner we’re able to get involved in a case, the better the result is likely to be. Evidence can disappear quickly, witness memories fade, and insurance companies often begin building their defense right away.

If you or someone you know is injured, it’s always better to ask questions early rather than later. Even a quick conversation can help protect your rights.

Keep this in mind during your Arizona getaways.

Thank you Frank, Nick, and Kandi, on a job well done!

"In late 2016, I was involved in a rear in collision whereas a U.S. Border Patrol officer struck my vehicle from behind on I-10 east of Phoenix. This involved a roll-over with extrication of me from my vehicle. I sustained neck and back injuries, however non-life-threatening. A few months afterwards, the Border Patrolman decided to falsify his statement in court and his citation for having caused the accident was dismissed. I was not notified of this proceeding as such was not able to provide my testimony. As a result, his insurance closed my claim. At this juncture I had no recourse but to fight him and his insurance company (GEICO by the way). I attempted to seek legal representation from two other law firms, and they were not interested due to their perceived low value of my claim. I was finally placed in contact to the Plattner Verderame firm and within 15 minutes of speaking with Frank Verderame, he took my case on. From the onset, this firm was very professional and working in the legal field, I felt extremely confident in their abilities to fight for me. Nick Verderame accompanied me to my deposition which was a key component if getting my claim settled with GEICO as the truth finally came out. Kandi Jacobs was very helpful as well. She provided me regular updates and I truly felt they were sincere and caring. My claim should have never had to go into litigation, but facing GEICO only proved my suspicions that they never want to take responsibility for their insured's actions. As a result, the Border Patrolman now has a judgement against him. In the end, I am completely satisfied with the legal representation I received from the Plattner Verderame firm and I would recommend them to anyone needing any type of legal assistance.

Thank you Frank, Nick, and Kandi, on a job well done!"

Property owners have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to help keep their visitors, tenants, and customers safe.

When inadequate security measures contribute to an assault, robbery, or other violent crime, victims may have legal options. Issues like poor lighting, broken locks, lack of security measures, or inadequate surveillance can create dangerous conditions that put people at risk.

Understanding your rights after an incident can be an important step toward seeking accountability and compensation for your injuries.

Although drivers are often primarily liable for collisions, there are situations where liability may be shared with bicyclists:

• The cyclist was riding outside a designated bike lane in an unsafe way
• The cyclist was traveling at unsafe speeds for the conditions
• Visibility was limited, and the bicyclist did not have proper lighting, gear, or reflectors

Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that if liability is shared, the victim can still recover compensation. Their compensation is just reduced proportionately to their share of liability. For example, if a bicyclist is found to be 10% at fault for a dooring accident because of their speed, their $10,000 award would be decreased 10% to $9,000.
