Auto Accidents

The use of cars is in all aspects of our daily lives are inextricably entwined in the fabric of society. Unfortunately, there is a price attached. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there are over 7.2 million crashes nationwide resulting in over 37,000 fatalities and more than 3.1 million injuries. 

While automobile manufacturers continue to implement life-saving features in new vehicles, injuries due to vehicle collisions remain a serious risk to American motorists.  In Arizona the most frequent factor leading to accidents was speeding.  Some of the most common factors that lead to crashes included distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, driving under the influence and reckless driving. 

In Arizona in 2019 there were 129,750 crashes reported according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).   Maricopa County accounted for 74.84% of all crashes and 46.98% of fatal crashes in Arizona.  In 2019, 28 % of all crashes lead to injuries and on average ADOT states an injury occurs as a result of a car accident every 9 minutes and 46 seconds. 

As more and more people migrate to the Phoenix area from all over the country the amount of these crashes and injuries will unfortunately, continue to rise. 

After the accident, you may have adrenaline pumping through your body.  You may be scared.  You may be confused.  And injured.   You should strongly consider medical attention as soon as possible after an accident to assess injuries.

A medical professional will often be able to spot potential problems before the onset of acute symptoms.  Sometimes symptoms may not appear until well after the accident occurs including days, or even a week or more.   This is why it is essential to get checked out.  This is especially true with soft tissue injuries.  These symptoms often may appear to be at the outset merely stiffness, soreness, or headaches.  Some of these symptoms could also be an indication of a more serious problem, including torn ligaments or a possible concussion and brain injury.

You do not want to run the risk of worsening your condition by ignoring the injuries. You want documented proof that you were injured because of this car crash and going to the doctor to start getting treatments will be beneficial for your health and your case.

Some of the most common injuries after a car wreck are:

  • Spinal injuries
  • Brain & Head
  • Broken Bones
  • Soft Tissue Injuries
  • Facial Injuries
  • Lacerations, Bruising or burns
  • Whiplash
  • Tendon, nerve & ligaments
  • Psychological injuries
