When most people think of Arizona, the last thing they think about is snow. Of course, there are many ski resorts throughout the state, along with many mountainous regions which receive plenty of snow during the winter months. In fact, Flagstaff averages 100 at 7000 feet, while many of the ski resorts will get over 300 of snow.
With snow comes the increased risk for people to become involved in snowplow accidents, and other forms of accidents, simply due to the fact that they are not accustomed to such conditions. A snowplow is a vehicle intended to remove snow and ice from outdoor surfaces. These snow plows can appear in many different forms and are generally used in environments that receive heavy snow each year.

Our attorneys will seek the maximum compensation benefits for our clients, while helping them to achieve the justice they deserve.
