Bailey Law Firm, PLLC

10/26/2026

This weekend is Halloween and here at Bailey Law Firm we want to help keep Arizona families safe so here are some helpful tips to keep in mind 👻🎃

🕷️ Watch for little trick-or-treaters — Kids can be excited and distracted, so slow down and stay extra alert in neighborhoods.

🔦 Light it up — Add reflective tape, glow sticks, or flashlights to costumes so everyone is easier to see after dark.

🚗 Take it slow — Whether you're driving through a neighborhood or heading home after Halloween festivities, give yourself extra time and watch for pedestrians.

🎃 Keep costumes safe — Make sure masks don't block vision and costumes aren't too long or difficult to walk in.

🍬 Check the candy — Parents, take a quick look through those treats before the kids dig in!

🌵 And remember, this is Arizona! — Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy all the spooky season has to offer! 🧡🎃

BEFORE YOU… FRIDAYS
💰 Before You Accept an Insurance Company's Offer

After an accident, you may receive a settlement offer from an insurance company. Before accepting it, consider:

✔️ Exactly what the proposed settlement covers
✔️ Your current and potential future expenses
✔️ Which rights you may be giving up
✔️ Whether you're being pressured to decide quickly
✔️ Whether you should speak with an attorney before signing

Accepting a settlement may make it difficult or impossible to pursue additional compensation. Make sure you understand the agreement before accepting it. Or call us to help you better understand your options.

A written agreement can help protect both the relationship and your investment.

BEFORE YOU… FRIDAYS

Before You Assume a Verbal Agreement Is Enough...Check with Us.

A conversation or handshake may seem sufficient at the time, but disagreements can become much harder to resolve when there isn't a written record of what everyone agreed to.

Before relying on a verbal agreement:

✔️ Put important terms in writing
✔️ Clearly define everyone's responsibilities
✔️ Confirm payment amounts and deadlines
✔️ Save relevant emails, texts, and other communications
✔️ Don't rely solely on memory when the stakes are high

If an agreement is important, putting it in writing can help prevent confusion later.

✔️ Think about what happens if the relationship changes.
✔️ Understand what could happen if either owner dies, sells, or wants to divide the property.
✔️ Get legal advice before making a decision you may not be able to easily undo.
