Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona

According to authorities from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, nearly 55,000 injuries and more than 1,000 fatalities from car accidents were reported last year, making it clear that serious crashes are on the rise in Arizona. Since 2016, data show that the risk of these dangerous accidents has increased. Furthermore, many of these accidents are caused by road rage or some other form of driver negligence.

Multi-vehicle accidents mean unforeseen, often tragic, consequences for victims and their families, including high medical costs and long-term injuries or even death. However, victims and their families can contact a Phoenix accident lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek their fair compensation from a personal injury or death lawsuit.
