Personal injuries never come at a convenient time. They happen even during a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to daily life and the infrastructure of cities such as Glendale. One change is in how the court system operates for personal injury claims.
One of the most common fatal traffic accident types in the US is a collision with a commercial truck. In 2017, 4,657 fatal collisions involved large trucks, according to crash data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Big rigs pose many safety threats to smaller passenger vehicles and their occupants, such as weights of up to 80,000 pounds and significant blind spots.
It takes time to become confident and careful behind the wheel. With the legal driving age just 16 years old – 15 ½ with adult supervision – many drivers are too young and inexperienced to safely control a motor vehicle. If a teenage driver causes your car accident and injuries, his or her parents may be responsible for your damages in Arizona.
Life-changing personal injury accidents can happen anywhere. The risk of a harmful accident dramatically increases, however, when a property contains a defect or hazard. A dangerous workplace in Arizona, for example, could pose many threats to your health and safety as a worker.
Pedestrians are Arizona’s most vulnerable road users. They have the most to lose in traffic accidents. In 2019, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported 1,842 pedestrian collisions throughout the state. Pedestrian accidents in Arizona caused 1,697 injuries (including 356 serious injuries) and 220 deaths.
