Common Questions

Your safety is paramount. Seek medical attention even for minor injuries. Gather information at the scene, including the other driver’s contact and insurance details, and take photos. Notify your insurance company promptly and then contact our experienced car accident lawyers at Knochel Law. We can help you understand your rights and guide you through the claims process.

Negligence occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care, causing harm to another. To prove negligence in Arizona, we must demonstrate that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care (like other drivers on the road), breached that duty (by acting carelessly), and that this breach directly caused your injuries and damages.

Every case is unique. We’ll thoroughly evaluate your damages, including medical bills (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and any impact on your future earning capacity. We’ll fight to maximize your compensation and ensure you receive a fair settlement.

If you are arrested in Arizona, it’s crucial to understand your rights. You have the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to a fair trial. Do not answer any questions or sign any documents without first speaking to an attorney. Contact Knochel Law immediately, and we will protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.

Arizona law classifies crimes as either misdemeanors or felonies. Misdemeanors are less serious offenses, typically punishable by fines, probation, or up to one year in jail. Felonies are more serious crimes with harsher penalties, including imprisonment in state prison for more than one year. We handle both misdemeanor and felony cases.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees several important rights to those accused of crimes. These include the right to remain silent (you don’t have to answer questions or make statements that could incriminate you), the right to an attorney (even if you can’t afford one), the right to a fair trial, and the right to confront witnesses against you. We will ensure your rights are protected throughout the criminal justice process.

Arizona is a “no-fault” divorce state. This means you don’t need to prove a specific reason like adultery or cruelty to get a divorce. You can file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences, which essentially means that the marriage is irretrievably broken.

Yes, Arizona is a community property state. This means that any property or assets acquired during the marriage are considered to be owned equally by both spouses. In a divorce, community property is generally divided equally between the spouses. Separate property, which includes assets acquired before the marriage or through inheritance or gifts, is generally not subject to division.

The most common types of bankruptcy for individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy where your non-exempt assets are sold to pay off creditors. Chapter 13 is a reorganization bankruptcy where you create a repayment plan to pay off your debts over time.

The main difference is how your debts are handled. In Chapter 7, your assets are sold to pay off creditors, and many of your debts are discharged (eliminated). In Chapter 13, you create a repayment plan to pay off your debts over 3 to 5 years. Chapter 13 allows you to keep your assets, but you must have a steady income to make the plan payments.
