The Most Dangerous Arizona Highways
Attorneys at Plattner Verderame, P.C. have been protecting the legal rights of motor vehicle accident victims in Arizona- since 1991. Based on that experience, we know that distractions, crowded roads, oversized vehicles and other factors can make driving anywhere ... on any road, street or highway, at any time ... a dangerous activity. We also believe that some of our state's highways, roads and intersections are more dangerous than others. In our experience, roads with the highest incidence of traffic safety issues and accidents include:
- Interstate I-10 in Maricopa County,
- Interstate 1-10 in Pinal County between Phoenix and Tucson
- Interstate I-17
- State Highway 93
- State Routes 92 and 179
- Maricopa County's Indian School Road
- The 7th Street and Bell Road intersection
- The 19th Avenue and Northern Avenue intersection
- The 32nd Street and Greenway Road intersection
Do You Know What to Do After an Accident?
If you were ever to be involved in a car accident, would you know what to do? Many people do not. Unfortunately, insurance companies know this and use it to their own advantage whenever they can.
The first priority after an accident is to get medical treatment for your injuries. If you don't think you're injured that badly, go see a doctor anyway as the adrenaline rush from the accident could be masking serious damage. If you don't, the insurance company might be able to successfully argue that your injuries aren't connected to the accident.
Second, don't say anything more than you have to about the accident to anyone. If the police talk to you, be careful to limit your statements to the facts only — not your opinions. When you call your own insurance company, just tell them that you were involved in an accident and nothing more.
Third, don't assume that you can deal with the insurance company on your own or that the insurance company will treat you fairly. Hire an attorney instead. Insurance companies deal with accident cases every day and know how to minimize their liability at your expense. We know how to prevent that and can help you get a fair shake.
