We will fiercely advocate on your behalf to obtain compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, vehicular damage, pain, suffering and beyond. Reach out to our accomplished attorneys if you have even the slightest suspicion another driver or institution’s negligence (the lack of due care) played a part in an accident on I-8 or any other Arizona road.
Interstate Accidents are Particularly Destructive
Auto accidents on Arizona’s Interstate 8 are often quite violent. Plenty of truckers speed their big rigs on through remote stretches of this interstate. Unfortunately, these trucks sometimes smash into vehicles and cause considerable damage. In other instances, normal-sized vehicles end up colliding due to driver carelessness or inclement weather. The Arizona Department of Transportation reports traffic fatalities in the counties I-8 passes through are as follows:
- 330 deaths in Maricopa
- 78 deaths in Pinal
- 22 deaths in Yuma
To say these numbers are concerning would be an understatement. This interstate is especially dangerous as it crosses rural sections of the state. In fact, nearly 46 percent of Arizona’s single vehicle accidents occur on rural roads. Truckers commonly pass through Interstate 8 as do residents of California and plenty of Arizonans heading to California for tourism.
Compensation for an I-8 Accident
If you are involved in an I-8 accident or an accident in a rural part of Arizona, you have likely been through quite the ordeal. Oftentimes, an accident on this stretch of highway is especially frustrating as it is difficult to obtain immediate medical treatment and assistance from emergency services. Also, if the accident is the fault of a trucker, the quest for compensation might prove somewhat challenging as many trucking companies are located in states outside of Arizona. The driver might be from another state. Our legal team is here to work through each of these complicating factors so you can focus on rebuilding your health and returning to work.
We will collect evidence, organize medical records, develop a sound legal strategy and zealously advocate on your behalf in a court of law. In some instances, accidents involving trucks have crash-related data stored on black boxes similar to those on airplanes. In other instances, truck cameras capture video evidence of the accident in exquisite detail. We will stop at nothing to uncover such evidence and use it in your quest for justice.
Our team will also represent you in settlement talks to ensure you receive a fair offer for all of the pain, heartache and property damage you have endured. We have years of experience negotiating settlement agreements with opposing counsel. If opposing counsel is unwilling to adequately compensate you for your pain, lost time at work, medical expenses and other accident-related costs, we will represent your interests to the fullest in court. This is the vitally important legal assistance you need to bounce back from an otherwise devastating accident.
