- Female Pedestrian Critically Injured in Suspected Phoenix DUI Accident | Legal News | News Ticker
Drinking and driving is never a good decision, and there are still too many examples of innocent people being injured or worse because of drunk driving. This is the unfortunate reality despite all of the efforts of private organizations, public entities and governmental agencies alike. Sadly, police suspect that drinking and driving was once again responsible for a terrible Phoenix pedestrian accident that left a woman fighting for her life. The crash was so severe that the light rail system was delayed, and the driver in the crash was suspected.
According to authorities, this suspected Phoenix DUI accident occurred yesterday when a woman and her husband were struck by the driver of a BMW as they were walking near the Osborn/Central Light Rail station. The woman was critically injured and her husband suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle attempted to flee the scene afterward, but there was too much traffic in the area and he was unable to escape. He was soon arrested by police on suspicion of Arizona DUI. None of the names of those involved were released.

If it turns out that (a) the driver of the BMW was at fault and that (b) he was intoxicated, he could face serious criminal charges. In addition, he could face an Arizona personal injury lawsuit if the woman decides to file such a claim. If a case is filed and it’s successful, it could lead to an award of damages that compensate the woman for her medical costs, her lost income and her pain and suffering.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

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.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

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.
