Multi-Vehicle Wrecks in Arizona
The latest crash data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) shows that nearly 35,000 accident injuries occurred across Arizona last year. According to ADOT’s accident data, more than half of last year’s 55,000 total crashes also involved two or more vehicles and multiple injured victims.
Tragic consequences, including long-term medical expenses, serious injuries, job loss, or even death, may befall victims and their families.
