- Fatal Arizona Traffic Accident on I-10 Caused by Tire Blowout | Legal News | News Ticker
There are certain Arizona car accidents that can be caused by something going wrong with one of the vehicles involved in a collision. Tragically, that appears to be the case with a fatal Arizona auto accident that occurred on Friday that killed one person and injured 11 others. According to police, the accident was caused by a tire blowout on a vehicle that collided with a van full of passengers. The fallout that led to a chain-reaction accident was as severe as it was gruesome, and police are continuing to investigate the situation.
According to police, this fatal Arizona traffic accident occurred on Friday on Interstate 10 near Arizona Highway 85 in West Valley. Peter Bocskov, 45, of Buckeye, was driving his Ford pickup truck in a westward direction on I-10 when a tire on his vehicle failed. He lost control of his truck and it collided with a van carrying several people that was moving in the same direction. As a result of this initial collision, the van veered into the center median, overturned and ejected several people who were inside. One unidentified woman was killed in the crash, and 11 others were injured to varying degrees.
Arizona Car Accident Statistics
First, we’d like to send our condolences to the family of the woman who was killed and offer our hopes that those who were injured in this Arizona traffic accident are able to recover from the injuries they suffered in this horrific crash. Unfortunately, this situation will only add to the statistics regarding Arizona car accidents overall. Every year, more than 140,000 such accidents occur, leading to more than 1,000 fatalities and more than 65,000 injuries. These numbers have remained nearly constant in recent years.
Arizona Car Accident Lawyers
One of the factors that would need to be determined in this situation is whether the tire that failed should have been replaced and whether the driver of the pickup truck should have known that it needed to be repaired or removed. There are other factors to consider if those who were injured or if the family of the woman who was killed decide to look into the possibility of filing Arizona personal injury lawsuits. The strength of potential legal claims come down to the facts that would be evidence if such a claim was filed.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
