Were you or a loved one injured in Arizona because of another driver’s negligence? If so, you could be eligible for compensation for your pain and suffering and other damages.

Types of Negligent Driving
Traffic injuries and fatalities caused by distracted driving and other types of negligence are on the rise, according to data from ADOT.
The most common types of driver negligence include:
- Cognitive distractions
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failing to obey traffic signs and signals
- Failure to yield right-of-way
- Fatigued driving
- Improper use of turn signals
- Manual distractions
- Speeding
- Tailgating
- Texting and driving
- Visual distractions
In 2012, ADOT reported that every day approximately 2.25 persons were killed in auto accidents, and that one person was killed every 10.65 hours. Drivers who engage in careless or reckless behavior while behind the wheel, run the risk of seriously injuring or killing themselves and others.
Injuries from Negligent Driving Accidents
Each auto accident will range in severity, and depending on where the victims are within the vehicle, the injuries they sustain will vary.
Common injuries associated with accidents involving negligent drivers are:
- Airbag injuries
- Burns
- Concussion
- Facial disfigurement
- Fractured ribs
- Lacerations
- Loss of limb, or amputation
- Paralysis
- Seatbelt injuries
- Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Whiplash
- Wrist injuries
Arizona auto accidents resulted in 3,604 injuries to children under the age of 14, and as younger drivers become more distracted by cellphones and other portable electronic devices, these numbers could increase.
Contact an experienced car accident lawyer today if you or someone you care about were injured because of another driver’s negligence. You may be eligible to receive compensation that could help to cover medical expenses, lost wages and other losses.

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.
