Tips for Driving in Monsoons in Phoenix, AZ

Arizona monsoon storms can range anywhere from a minor dust storm to a violent thunderstorm. Monsoon season in Arizona generally runs from June 15th to September 30th. The high temperatures in conjunction with high winds and high moisture around this time of year can result in potentially deadly weather.

A monsoon usually starts with heavy winds and the occasional visible wall of dust. A typical Arizona monsoon is known to be accompanied by frequent thunder, lightning and heavy downpours. Flash floods are not uncommon. While Arizona monsoons do not provide ideal driving conditions, with the following tips and precautions, Arizona drivers are more likely to avoid a car accident.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Be Aware Of Local Weather Conditions

An Arizona monsoon is not as easy to predict as other weather events, but certain conditions are more conducive to producing a monsoon. Before going on the road during monsoon season, it is important to listen to weather reports – the National Weather Service issues weather warnings and watches through television and radio stations.

It is also important to keep an emergency kit in your car at all times in the event that you get caught in a monsoon. An emergency kit should include water, non-perishable food, blankets and flashlights with extra batteries.

Important Arizona Monsoon Driving Tips & Information

If you are caught in your car when an Arizona monsoon strikes, the following tips will help to minimize your risk of being involved in an auto accident:

If possible, pull off the road and find a safe place to park to wait out the storm. Keep the doors and windows of your vehicle closed. Make sure to turn off your lights so that you do not confuse other drivers.

• Do not park your vehicle under a tree or utility pole. High winds can break branches, up-root trees and knock down poles.
• If electrical lines do fall on your car, do not exit your vehicle until emergency crews give you the OK.
• If you must continue driving, avoid flooded roadways or washes. They may be deceiving and actually be much deeper than they appear. Many Arizona drivers end up getting stuck in flooded washes in roadways and require emergency rescuers.
• Drive at a reduced speed, leaving plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you. Drive even slower through standing water. The smallest amount of water on the road can cause you to hydroplane and lose control of your car.
• Obey all caution signs.
• Exercise extra caution when driving through a monsoon at night. It may be difficult to detect flooded areas in the dark.Generally speaking, having a heightened sense of awareness during a severe storm is imperative. Often other drivers cannot see very well during such storms, and with that in mind, keeping a defensive driving attitude can help to avoid a serious crash.
