Pedestrian Accidents in Arizona
Statistics indicate that more than 1,500 pedestrian-involved crashes occur each year in Arizona, resulting in hundreds of serious injuries and over 100 deaths. Due to the nature of pedestrian accidents, victims are far more vulnerable to serious injuries and death. Furthermore, hit-and-run incidents are increasingly common when it comes to serious pedestrian accidents, as drivers may leave the scene to avoid legal consequences.
From long-term injuries and medical costs to lost wages as a result of time taken from work, these accidents can have unfortunate consequences for both victims and their families. But those affected by pedestrian accidents can contact a Phoenix accident lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek the fair compensation they deserve from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
