In Arizona, where the temperature in its coldest month, January, still creeps up to an average of 67 degrees, and where millions of tourists flock year-round to enjoy activities ranging from the Grand Canyon to the college bowl games, the roads are busy. But while tourists and travelers bring revenue and diversity to the state, the traffic brings something else, as well: accidents.

The statistics tell a grim story. In 2015, there were a total of 6,296,000 reported auto accidents in the United States, 32,166 fatal. In Arizona alone, there was a total of 116,609 vehicle accidents, with 893 fatalities. Injuries and fatalities are tragic, but the damage doesn’t stop there. The NHTSA reports that the total costs in economic loss and societal harm topped $871 billion in 2014.

In a national comparison, Arizona, with roughly 6.6 million people, ranks seventeenth for auto accident fatalities and is second only to Florida in pedestrian deaths. Arizona, and Tucson specifically, have been recognized nationally as dangerous for driving. The Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety grouped Arizona with eight other states “in the red,” meaning for various reasons the state ranks among the worst in the nation for traffic safety. What’s more, in 2013 the magazine Popular Mechanics ranked the 150-mile stretch of I-10 from Phoenix to California as the No. 1 most dangerous stretch of highway in the U.S., with an average of 85 deaths a year.

Motorcycle Accidents

Because of a lack of protection, motorcycle accidents tend to be much more traumatic and severe than passenger vehicle accidents. Motorcycle accident victims die more often and suffer worse catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, burns and broken bones.

When a motorcycle accident results in serious injuries, victims often require extensive and expensive medical procedures and treatments – sometimes long into the future.

If you or you loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, we encourage you not to settle with an insurance company before consulting a lawyer.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists are more vulnerable to serious injury than anyone else on the road. Each year, more than half a million people, many of them children, are treated in emergency rooms after bicycle accidents. More than 700 cyclists are killed annually. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Arizona has consistently been in the top 10 for bicycle traffic fatalities.

While motorists tend to blame cyclists for the accidents, Right of Way, a New York-based cycling advocacy group, found that an estimated 80% of bicycle fatalities were due to motor vehicle driver error, aggressive driving or negligence. In Arizona, bicyclists have same rights and responsibilities on the road as other vehicles. Poor street surface conditions, train or trolley tracks and road debris are other common causes of bicycle accidents.

While relatively few accidents are fatal, bicycle collisions can lead to catastrophic or life altering injuries, including amputations, broken bones, internal bleeding, spinal cord injuries, burns and dislocations. These traumatic injuries can be devastating to the cyclist and their loved ones.
