Fatal Rollover Accidents in Arizona

The Arizona Department of Transportation published its most recent crash report, which showed almost 35,000 accident injuries statewide in 2018. Of last year’s nearly 55,000 total accidents, more than half involved more than one injured victim and several of those accidents were reported as rollover accidents. Oftentimes, victims may even succumb to their injuries after a rollover wreck, leaving grieving families to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of a serious accident.
