Multi-Vehicle Wrecks in Arizona
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, almost 55,000 wrecks occurred across the state last year. And of the total accidents that occurred in Arizona, more than half involved at least two cars and more than two injured victims.
Costly medical bills, critical injuries, and even job loss are just a few of the tragic consequences that may plague victims and their families following a wreck. But those affected by these accidents can contact a Phoenix injury lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek fair compensation and the justice they deserve from a personal injury lawsuit.
