Hit-and-Run Accidents in Arizona

Data from the Arizona Department of Transportation showed that more than 30,000 auto accidents involving injuries occur in Arizona each year. Several of those crashes are hit-and-run accidents, where victims are struck and sometimes seriously injured by vehicles. Oftentimes, distracted or impaired drivers are responsible for these serious incidents and leave the scene to avoid legal consequences.

Victims who sustain injuries in these collisions through no fault of their own may be left with high costs from medical bills and vehicle damage.
