Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona
Last year, more than half of the total car wrecks that occurred across the state involved at least two drivers. In fact, according to a recent report released by the Arizona Department of Transportation, more than 55,000 car accidents total occurred in Arizona, which means that more than 25,000 involved multiple vehicles.
Serious car wrecks can mean tragic circumstances for victims and their families, especially when they occur as a result of another driver’s negligence. Exorbitant medical costs, serious long-term injuries, and job stresses or even job loss are just a few of the devastating consequences that can affect victims and their families after an accident. But those affected can contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer for help, and in some cases, victims may seek the fair compensation they deserve from wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit.
