Injury Car Crashes in Arizona
Per recent data released by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, nearly 130,000 crashes occurred in Arizona last year alone. These crashes are part of a year-over-year rise nationwide, with a particularly high increase of fatal accidents across the state of Arizona. More than 11,000 of these serious accidents involved multiple injuries or even fatalities.
Victims of these serious accidents may have to negotiate with insurance companies from other drivers, physical pain, emotional trauma, or long-term financial difficulties. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving grieving families to cope with devastating consequences.
