Injury Wrecks in Arizona
The Arizona Department of Transportation has released its latest crash data, showing that nearly 35,000 accident injuries occurred across Arizona in 2018. And according to this accident data, more than half of last year’s 55,000 total crashes that occurred also involved multiple injured victims.
Tragic, unforeseen consequences, such as medical expenses and serious long-term injuries, may befall victims and their families.
