We’ve been representing accident victims for more than two decades and thought we had seen every type of accident, but recently, we had a surprise! We learned a driver was hurt when a zebra got loose from a festival and ran into her car. The incident occurred at McQueen Road near Celebration Drive in Chandler, Arizona, on March 7, 2018, early in the morning. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.
Unfortunately, the zebra was killed upon impact after it escaped from its pen. There were other animals on location, including pigs, camels, and ostriches, but they did not escape. The driver was unable to swerve enough to miss hitting the animal, likely because the animal moved quickly into traffic and because it was not yet light during the early morning hours. We are wishing the driver a speedy recovery.
How We Can Help
In unusual incidents like this that don’t involve two cars, it takes an experienced accident attorney to determine who is at fault and who is responsible for the victim’s medical bills and damaged vehicle expenses. The Husband and Wife Law Team goes to work investigating the facts of the case, discovering who owns the animal and who is responsible for its escape. In many cases, insurance companies for the at-fault party are responsible for paying a settlement to the victim.
We also know the victim needs to focus time and energy on healing, so we pick up all the work involved in the case. We have a team of dedicated staff and paralegals who do everything from filing your case to following up with police to gather facts. We also come to you in the hospital or at your home if you can’t come to us. We pride ourselves on incredible customer service and getting results for our clients.
Other Cases We’ve Seen
Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. But when the accident happens because of someone else’s carelessness and negligence, the victim could be entitled to compensation. We’ve seen dog bites on airplanes, pedestrians hit by drunk drivers, elderly abuse cases, swimming pool accidents, and more. While we know that while all cases are different, what they do have in common is that victims are faced with medical bills and other expenses that they shouldn’t have to cover on their own. That’s when our team can help.
