Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona
A recent Arizona crash report released by the Department of Transportation showed almost 35,000 accident injuries statewide in 2018. Of that year’s nearly 55,000 total accidents, more than half involved several injured victims. Oftentimes, victims may even succumb to those injuries, causing a devastating situation that leaves grieving families to pick up the pieces.
In fact, there were 1,010 fatalities on the state’s roads last year, according to the annual crash facts report released Tuesday by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Those involved in multi-vehicle accidents may experience a number of tragic, unforeseen consequences after a wreck, from long-term medical expenses and serious injuries to even job loss or death.
