Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a personal injury claim and a workers compensation claim?

Workers compensation is a no-fault system where injured employees receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Personal injury claims require proving the defendant's negligence. Cruz & Associates can assess whether you have claims in both categories, as some injuries involve multiple responsible parties.

How long do I have to file a claim after an injury?

Deadlines vary. For workers compensation, report the injury promptly. For personal injury lawsuits, Arizona has a three-year statute of limitations, but waiting can harm your case. Contact Cruz & Associates immediately to preserve evidence and meet all deadlines.

What happens if the insurance company denies my claim?

A denial is not the end of your case. Cruz & Associates can file an appeal, present additional evidence, and represent you at administrative hearings or in court. Many denied claims are overturned through proper advocacy.
