Arizona is one of the most popular destinations in America for spring break. With fantastic weather and a wide variety of activities, it’s easy to understand why. One of the hottest spring break spots is Lake Havasu City where you’ll find beautiful sandy beaches, water sports galore, and exciting nightlife. If you don’t want to head to the beach, spring break also falls during spring skiing season at the Arizona Snowbowl or you can opt for white water rafting on the Salt River.
While the Grand Canyon State has plenty of options for fun and partying, it also has great potential for Arizona spring break injuries. Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys let’s you know what to do when your spring break adventure becomes a misadventure.
Arizona Spring Break Injuries Can Happen Anywhere
Whether you’re an out-of-state visitor or a local, spring break festivities can easily lead to all sorts of accidents. When you’re road tripping to your destination, remember, auto accidents increase on roads congested with thrillseekers hitting the highways for excitement.
ADOT emphasizes that March is historically the deadliest driving month of the year. This puts both out-of-state and in-state drivers at risk, but accidents don’t just occur in motor vehicles. Boating is an extremely popular spring break activity. Like busy highways filled with inattentive, speeding and/or potentially inebriated drivers, waterways become just as dangerous as roadways.
While Arizona offers boating and other excellent outdoor activities, conditions can be unpredictable. Even something as simple a hike can lead to a slip-and-fall accident. More robust activities, such as rafting, wakeboarding, and jet skiing can lead to more serious Arizona spring break injuries.
What to Do When Injured
When you’re vacationing out-of-state and hurt because of another’s negligence, you might be unsure what kind of legal recourse you have. While you may be able to sue the person or business that caused your injury in your home state, you usually must sue in the state where the injury occurred. This is due to jurisdiction, which means a court’s authority must lie within the area of the accident.
Thus, most Arizona spring break injuries must be legally dealt with in Arizona. Out-of-state visitors should contact a proficient Arizona personal injury law firm, such as Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys, to represent their injury claim. If you live in-state, but you’re injured in a different city than the one you live, contact that state’s bar association for reference or a law firm with locations throughout the state.
