Car Accidents
Our law firm often assists people who have been injured in car accidents. Anyone who drives a vehicle in the State of Arizona must exercise due care to not injure others. The failure to drive with care can be considered negligence and the defendant can be held accountable for your medical bills, physical injuries, lost wages, and other damages from the accident. If you have been hurt in a auto accident, you may be entitled to recover. We also work on pedestrian accidents, bike accidents, bus accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents.
Often the at fault motorist does not carry auto insurance as required by Arizona law. However, you could still have a claim. Many insurance policies have uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage where you can make a claim against your own policy.
The NHTSA states that twenty six percent of citizens sixteen and older have been injured in an auto accident and had medical treatment. Fifty six percent of the injured required additional medical care at a later date. 37,313 were killed across the United States in motor vehicle collisions in 2008 and 41,059 were killed in 2007. Also, 2,491,000 people were hurt in 2007 auto accidents.
In Arizona, there were just under 120,000 accidents in 2008 according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. In those crashes, 842 died and 37,180 were hurt. Injuries from Phoenix auto accidents can be severe, ranging from neck and back injuries, fractures that require surgical repair, head trauma, and sometimes death.
