A sideswipe collision describes what happens when two vehicles traveling in the same or opposite directions make side-to-side contact. They can lead to extensive property damage and serious injuries. Determining liability for a sideswipe accident is an important step to recover compensation through an insurance settlement or a civil lawsuit.

The 2024 data gathered by the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles shows that sideswipe accidents occur frequently in the state: about one in every five multi-vehicle accidents is a sideswipe.

Because of their frequency, it is important for Arizona drivers to understand how these accidents happen and their effects. In…

In a recent conversation I had with a longtime friend and client I learned that despite him being in a successful business built through hard work over time, he is restless and wants to make a change, but is scared to do so. I believe that lifetime learning and being open to change is important for all of us. Learning and change are possible at any point in time if you’re willing to take on a new challenge no matter your age, experience level, or how entrenched you are in your current role.

“You have a good medical malpractice case.”

These are seven words you never want me or any other medical malpractice lawyer to tell you. The reason is that every “good” medical malpractice case involves a catastrophic injury or death.

Juries are human. Humans avoid things which make them uncomfortable.

Because of this deep-seated need to believe in doctors and hospitals, juries are reluctant to find against them in malpractice…
