  • AZDOT Prepares for Monsoon Season

flood warning signMonsoon season is here, and this year, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) wants to be prepared after last years disastrous season.

In 2014, a record breaking 3.29 inches of rain fell in Phoenix in one day. It was considered the wettest day on record since 1895. On average, rainfall during the entire monsoon season is 2.71 inches.

Dozens of people were injured during monsoon season in automobile and personal injury accidents. If you or someone you love has been hurt as a result of another individuals negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Arizona DOT Preparations

One of the main hazards associated with monsoon season is flooding, specifically flash flooding. Rainfall during monsoon season is heavy and does not soak into the ground easily, which leads to large amounts of flooding.

The Phoenix Streets Department has been working to trim trees and secure equipment should a sudden storm arise. Last years storms made the Streets Department realize that having signs and equipment stored in different areas of the city would be helpful. Additionally, new equipment will make it easier and quicker to build makeshift dams along roadways to keep the water out.

If a driver encounters a light that has gone out during a storm, the intersection should be treated like a four-way stop while the light is out.

Drivers are also being encouraged to Pull Aside, Stay Alive, a campaign focusing on dust storms. During monsoon season, drivers are much more likely to suddenly be caught in a dust storm. The ADOT encourages drivers to pull over, turn off all vehicle lights, set the emergency brake, and stay in the vehicle with a seatbelt on until the storm passes.

If you or someone you love is injured in a wreck this monsoon season, contact the car accident lawyers with the experience you need to fight for your rights.

    • Phillips law group is a great firm! Caroline is great.
    • Thank you Phillips Law Group for all the support and back to school assistance we appreciate it.
    • Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
    • Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.
    • Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!
    • Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
    • Phillips is the best!! Love all that they do to give back to the community and how much they help those who are experiencing homelessness. ❤️
    • I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.
    • Phillips Law Group provides a collaborative environment in which both attorneys and staff work together to achieve the best outcome for clients. As an attorney here at PLG, I’m lucky to be surrounded by seasoned attorneys and knowledgeable staff that share my enthusiasm for helping accident victims. The team here at PLG treats clients with respect and empathy while fighting hard to get the results they deserve.
    • Liz was great
