As Yuma car accident attorneys, we are always deeply concerned for those involved in multi-car pileups, especially those that result in severe injuries such as the accident that occurred during the morning commute on Tuesday, March 13, 2012, according to KSWT 13. The collision occurred when several cars collided on Interstate 8 near the Araby Road exit. The severity of the crash shut down the westbound lanes of the freeway for a portion of the morning and caused several people to be sent to the hospital with injuries. No reports have been released on the number of cars involved in the crash and the cause is still under investigation, though police have pointed to current repair work on the road as a possible contributing factor.
Yuma Car Accident: How to Reduce Your Risk
A Yuma car accident like this one causes injuries to nearly 900 people each year, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Thousands of accidents are caused by contributing factors of an AZ dangerous roadway, such as potholes and road construction. You can reduce your risk of being involved in a multi-vehicle car crash or pileup by exercising extra due caution during heavy traffic and in construction zones. While you may consider alternate routes during heavy commuting and construction times you cannot avoid the freeway forever. Drivers need to pay more attention during these congested areas so as to not hit innocent people.

In our 30 years of combined experience as Phoenix car accident attorneys, we have seen a great number of collisions involving pedestrians and we are always concerned for both the people who are hit as well as the driver of the vehicle, such as in an accident that happened Saturday night, March 3, 2012, according to Fox 10. The collision occurred when a car driving down a poorly lit street near the intersection of Southern and 39th Avenue hit two people crossing the street. The man and woman who were hit were both taken to the hospital in an ambulance and treated for moderate injuries. Our thoughts are with all of those involved, and we hope that those injured recover quickly.
The Dangers of a Phoenix Car Accident Involving a Pedestrian
While this Phoenix car accident is one of only many collisions involving pedestrians in the state of Arizona each year, we hope that it can serve as a starting point for other drivers and pedestrians to learn the dangers of, and ways to avoid, Phoenix pedestrian accidents. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), more than 1,250 collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians occur each year, all of them resulting in either death or some form of injury. Simple things, such as driving undistracted, keeping an eye out for cars as you cross the street, and even making a pledge to only cross at crosswalks, can reduce your risk of being involved in a pedestrian versus car collision.
How Can a Phoenix Personal Injury Lawyer Help?
The victims of this Phoenix car accident could greatly benefit from the assistance of a skilled Phoenix personal injury lawyer. Because the accident occurred at night, an experienced personal injury attorney could assist in the location and interviewing of additional witnesses and also coordinate the reconstruction of the crash site to help prove fault or negligence. In addition, your personal injury attorney could help you settle for a fair amount of compensation that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and any other expenses arising from your recovery, as well as those related to property damages sustained at the time of the collision. The Husband and Wife Law Team works hard to help people like you get the compensation they need to make recovery as stress-free as possible. If you’ve been injured in a collision and you need help getting the compensation you deserve, call Breyer Law, P.C. today.
As Surprise car accident attorneys, we were happy to learn about the city’s recent decision to pave the roads in the area of 219th Avenue, north of Deer Valley Road. The roads in the area are dirt and kick up a lot of dust, contributing to some poor visibility and harmful environmental conditions. The construction will begin mid-January and is federally-funded, according to a news report in Fox 10. The square mile area is surrounded by Deer Valley Road, Pinnacle Road, 219th Avenue, and 227th Avenue. Some of the streets to be paved include:
- 221st Avenue;
- 223rd Avenue;

Avoid Surprise Car Accidents: Watch Out for Construction Crews
As Surprise car accident lawyers, we want to warn drivers to use extreme caution and slow down whenever they enter construction zones. Crews could be working very near where the cars pass, and it is unsafe and illegal to speed through the area. The construction will begin in mid-January, and crews will operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Construction is scheduled to end by mid-April if weather conditions remain favorable.
