- Another Fatality Results from a Phoenix Pedestrian Accident | Legal News | News Ticker
Walking in traffic at night is always a dangerous activity, especially when not using a crosswalk. However, motorists are still expected to use caution when driving, particularly when visibility is low during the evening. Tragically, a man was killed last night in a Phoenix pedestrian accident when he attempted to cross a street outside of a crosswalk and was hit by a passing motorist. Police are continuing to investigate the situation, and for now no arrests have been made and no citations have been issued.
According to police, the second fatal Phoenix pedestrian accident occurred at approximately 10 p.m. last night when 59-year-old Roger Dale Rose was attempting to cross East Indian School Road at 30th Street when he was hit by a vehicle moving in a westbound direction. Reports indicate that the man was about 50 yards outside of the crosswalk, and the area was dimly lit. The man was rushed to a nearby hospital by rescue personnel, but he was unable to survive his injuries. The name of the driver involved was not released.
Arizona Pedestrian Accident Statistics
First and foremost, we’d like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed. Losing a life in such a random and violent manner is always a tragedy. In addition, this Phoenix pedestrian accident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Arizona pedestrian accidents. Every year, more than 1,500 such crashes occur, leading to more than 1,400 injuries and to more than 120 fatalities.
Phoenix Wrongful Death Lawyers
It seems that, based on the available facts, that the pedestrian was at least partially negligent in this fatal Phoenix pedestrian accident. If that’s the case, the family of the man could still possibly file an Arizona wrongful death lawsuit, but such a claim would have to be reviewed under Arizona’s comparative negligence standard. Basically, any recovery made by the family would be reduced by the amount of negligence assigned to the man who was killed by the court.
If you have lost someone you love in an accident, you need to seek the help of Phoenix wrongful death lawyers who can review your case and help you determine how to proceed properly. Contact Phillips Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
