Injury Car Accidents in Arizona
More than half of the overall traffic wrecks that took place last year in Arizona included at least one injured victim. And according to a new collision study published by the Arizona Department of Transportation, more than 55,000 vehicle crashes happened in the state last year alone, including more than 30,000 fatalities.
Devastating effects may befall victims and their families, especially when accidents occur as a result of other drivers’ negligent actions. From exorbitant medical costs and critical long-term injuries to job hassles, devastating, unforeseen circumstances can plague victims and their families after an injury crash. 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.
