Injurious Car Accidents in Arizona

Furthermore, nearly 55,000 total accidents occurred in Arizona, with more than half of those 2018 wrecks involving at least two injured victims and multiple vehicles.
It’s clear the multi-vehicle accidents are an unfortunate reality of life across the state, and victims pay the price in the aftermath.
