Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation The attorneys of Henley and Hicks have the courtroom experience needed to see a serious injury or wrongful death case through to its conclusion. The Arizona Constitution guarantees that every person injured by the fault of another has the right of access to the courts to seek fair compensation. Insurance companies have thousands of employees working hard each day to deny or limit compensation to truly injured accident victims. They work behind the scenes by funding advertising campaigns to convince the public that the Courts are handing out million-dollar verdicts to undeserving and uninjured people. In truth, winning a favorable verdict at trial that fairly compensates a truly seriously injured person can be very difficult. Negotiating a fair settlement without going to court can be just as hard. The decision to face the insurance company lawyers, investigators and adjusters alone and without the help of an experienced attorney often leads to frustration and risks losing your case entirely. The lawyers of Henley & Hicks have successfully represented injured clients in many varieties of cases, including: • All varieties of car accidents, including fatalities • Sexual abuse cases • Suits against drunk drivers • School bus accidents • Nursing home neglect/abuse cases • Permanent physical impairment and limb • Semi-truck collisions   amputation cases • Handicapped van accidents • Store and parking lot slip-and-falls • Serious construction site accidents and falls • Suits against municipalities and school districts
