Arizona Auto Accidents
Approximately 130,000 car crashes are reported in Arizona per year. These accidents happen in various ways, involving vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians. When a pedestrian is involved in a traffic accident, they usually sustain severe injuries that land them in the hospital or even take their lives.
Unfortunately, many pedestrians who are involved in auto wrecks must endure invasive and extensive medical care while they spend prolonged periods of time in the hospital. Being seriously hurt in any type of accident is extremely difficult.
