We’re paid only if we win for you, and our percentage contingent fee is just 29% of the recovery, if your matter concludes before a lawsuit is filed.

We never represent the other side—only injured car accident victims.

The Common Causes Of Car Accidents Resulting In Death And Injury

There are more than 30,000 fatal car crashes in the United States annually, in which more than 50,000 people are killed. About 1,000 of these fatal car accidents occur in Arizona resulting in more than 1,000 deaths.

Nationally, and in Arizona, car crashes are the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 2 and 34, and they are among the most common causes of injury for people of all ages.

More than six million total car accidents occur every year in the U.S. Of these, more than 100,000 are in Arizona.

Alcohol as a Factor In Car Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), alcohol is a factor in approximately 40 percent of fatal car crashes and 10 percent of injury accidents nationwide.

In Arizona, alcohol is a factor in more than 30 percent of accidents in which drivers are killed, and where the driver had a blood alcohol reading of .08 or greater.

These data dramatically illustrate the importance of the admonition “don’t drink and drive.”

Speed as a Factor In Car Crashes

The National Safety Council reports that excessive speed is the third leading cause of car accidents in the United States. The NHTSA estimates that speed is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal car crashes.

Distracted Driving as a Factor In Car Accidents

Any activity that diverts a driver’s attention from the task of driving is a distraction and is potentially dangerous to the driver, passengers, pedestrians and others on the roadway.

Distractions include these, among others:

  • Text Messaging
  • Conducting searches on a smart phone
  • Speaking on a cell phone
  • Reading, including gps devices and maps
  • Talking to passengers
  • Grooming
  • Making adjustments to audio devices
  • Reaching for an item outside the driver’s grasp.

More than 3,000 people are killed annually in the U.S. as a result of distracted driving, and more than 400,000 are injured in these car accidents.

Ten percent of teenage drivers involved in fatal car crashes reportedly were distracted at the time their accidents occurred.

Texting is by far the most dangerous distraction.
