Injurious Car Accidents in Arizona

The Arizona Department of Transportation’s recent accident report showed that nearly 130,000 Arizona motor vehicle crashes occurred in 2018. Of these total accidents, at least 37,000 involved two seriously injured people needing medical care or hospitalization.

Those who suffer injuries often have both physical and mental trauma to deal with. Wreck victims need to document their injuries, negotiate with insurance companies, and often take an extended leave from work. They may face lost wages or even job loss. However, victims and their families can seek help from a personal injury lawyer, especially if they’ve been involved in an accident due to the negligent actions of another driver.
