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.
At Phillips Law Group, our truck accident attorneys recognize the types of accidents which can occur with snow plows, and have great sympathy for those injured in these types of accidents. Our attorneys will seek the maximum compensation benefits for our clients, while helping them to achieve the justice they deserve.

Types of Snow Removal Vehicle Equipment
In general, most areas which receive a large amount of snow each year have a fleet of snow removal vehicles ready to clear the roadways, sidewalks, footpaths, and cycle ways. These vehicles may require an assortment of different equipment depending on their intentions.
Some types of snow removal vehicle equipment include:
- De-Icer
- Front-End Loader
- Gritter
- Jet-Powered Snow Blower
- Materials (sea-salt, sand, melting agents)
- Snow Blower
- Snow Groomer
- Snow Melter
- Snow Sweeper
- Snowplow
- Surface Friction Tester
Although all of these pieces of equipment serve to assist our community with snow removal, they may also pose a threat to people in the surrounding areas if they are used negligently.
Types of Winter Service Vehicle Collisions
As winter service vehicles are required to operate in extreme conditions, occasionally they may become involved in accidents. There are typically a number of contributing factors in these accidents, as these large trucks have many blind spots, decreased maneuverability due to their size, bad weather and road conditions, and the need to pay attention for other vehicles and pedestrians.
Some types of winter service vehicle collisions include:
- Adverse Road Conditions
- Air Brake Failure
- Bad Weather Accidents
- Blind Spot Accidents
- Cargo Exceeds Weight Limit
- Distracted Drivers
- Excessive Speeding
- Fatigued Driving
- Faulty Vehicle Equipment
- Inability to Stop Vehicle Quickly
- Inadequately Maintained vehicle
- Inexperienced Drivers
- Operating While Intoxicated
After these types of wrecks occur, there may be several different types of injuries caused. These injuries can range in severity depending on a number of different factors.

Erika A.
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...

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 --...
