Highway Car Accidents in Arizona
Highway car accidents in Arizona are a common yet unfortunate reality of life across the state. Interstate 10 is one of the most dangerous highways in the country, ranking in the top five across the nation for fatalities and injuries. In fact, nearly 300,000 motorists travel on Interstate 10 in Phoenix’s stretch of the highway on a daily basis, putting many drivers at risk for serious collisions on the major thoroughfare.
Furthermore, many fatalities on Arizona highways occur each day. By the end of each calendar year, almost 1,000 fatalities are seen statewide as a result of these serious car accidents. And when it comes to these crashes, victims and their families may pay a steep price.
From painful long-term injuries and trauma to emotional distress and financial insecurity for years to come, wrecks cause tragic consequences for both victims and their families.
