Injury Wrecks in Arizona
The Arizona Department of Transportation published new crash data showing nearly 35,000 accident injuries occurred across the state last year. And according to these recent numbers from 2018, more than half of last year’s 55,000 total crashes that occurred involved more than one injured victim.
Serious car accidents have adverse results for victims and their families, including costly medical expenses, critical long-term injuries, job loss, or even death. However, those affected by these crashes can contact a Phoenix accident lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek the justice they deserve from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
