Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, more than 35,000 injuries as a result of auto accidents occurred across the state in 2018, part of a year-over-year rise in injuries since 2015. And of the nearly 55,000 total accidents last year, more than half of those involved more than one vehicle and more than one injured victim.

Multi-vehicle wrecks can cause serious, tragic consequences for victims and their families, whether it’s serious long-term injuries and costly medical bills or even job loss. However, those affected by serious crashes can contact a Phoenix auto accident lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek fair compensation from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
