Rollover Car Crashes in Arizona
Authorities released a report that showed 130,000 collisions happened in Arizona last year alone. According to data released by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, more than 11,000 of these collisions involved at least two drivers and several injuries or deaths. Furthermore, there has been a 19% increase in accidents and a 25% overall increase in fatalities across the state in the last decade, which is particularly applicable for rollover crashes.
These serious vehicle crashes have also resulted in billions of dollars in economic losses to the state of Arizona over the past several years. When multiple victims are injured in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers’ insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver’s negligence.
