Car Accidents in Arizona
Ranking in the top five across the nation for fatalities and injuries, Interstate 10 in Arizona is one of the most dangerous roads in the country. In fact, nearly 300,000 motorists travel on Phoenix’s stretch of the highway on a daily basis, putting several drivers at risk on the major thoroughfare.
Plus, many fatalities on all Arizona highways occur each day, especially as a result of multi-vehicle accidents and even common rear-end crashes. By the end of each calendar year, hundreds of fatalities are seen statewide as a result of these serious accidents due to speed and traffic. When it comes to these crashes, victims and their families may pay a steep price.
From painful long-term injuries and trauma to emotional distress and financial insecurity for years to come, these crashes cause tragic consequences for both victims and their families. Oftentimes, fatal accidents leave victims’ families to pick up the pieces in the aftermath. Thankfully, those affected can seek help from a Phoenix personal injury lawyer, especially if they’ve been involved in an accident that occurred as a result of the negligent actions of another driver.
