- Law Enforcement Focus on DUI’s for Labor Day Weekend
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) once again launched its annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign set to run through Labor Day on Sept. 7. In partnership with 10,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, the campaign is an effort to crack down on drunk driving.
Motorists can expect that Arizona law enforcement across the state will be out in force showing zero tolerance for drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or more.
Despite national trends that show that the number of drunk drivers has decreased in recent years, according to the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, the number of DUI arrests increased from 503 in 2013 to 582 in 2014.
However, even one drunk driver greatly increases the risks for not only themselves, but also everyone else on the road. In 2013, the NHTSA reports that one third of all motor vehicle accident fatalities involved a drunk driver. Sixty-eight percent of the deaths that year involved a driver with a BAC of .15 or greater.
According to the NHTSA, the majority of drunk driving accidents occur at night, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. Half of all night-time fatalities involve a drunk driver.
With the lowest Labor Day gas prices since 2004, experts expect an influx of motorists to be hitting the road for the holiday weekend. This also allows for an increase in the number of drunk drivers on the road.
The NHTSA says that your best defense against drunk drivers is to wear a seatbelt. If you do have too much to drink, do not get behind the wheel. Rather plan ahead to have a designated driver or find a cab or alternative ride home.
If you or someone you love is injured an accident with a drunk driver this holiday weekend, do not hesitate to contact a personal injury lawyer in Phoenix from the offices of Phillips Law for a free case evaluation. Our accident attorneys can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

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.

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!

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.

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.

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.
