- Single-Vehicle Phoenix Car Accident Leads to Two Fatalities | Legal News | News Ticker
When people get behind the wheel of a vehicle, many fail to remember that even a one-second lapse in judgment or focus can instantly lead to disaster. Tragically, that could be what occurred in the early hours of this morning when a single-vehicle Phoenix car accident led to the deaths of both the driver and the passenger. Police closed the street while they began their investigation into the incident, and few details have been released with respect to the parties involved and the potential cause of the car crash.
According to authorities, the latest fatal Phoenix car accident occurred early this morning when a vehicle moving in a northbound direction on 32nd Street veered out of control just north of Shea Boulevard in Phoenix.
The vehicle crossed the center line of 32nd Street and continued at a high rate of speed until it crashed into a tree. Rescuers responded to the crash scene quickly, but the passenger in the vehicle was killed instantly. The driver was rushed to a nearby hospital but died from his injuries. The names of those involved will be released after the families are notified.
Arizona Car Accident Statistics
First and foremost, we’d like to express our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the people who were killed. No one should ever have to receive the type of tragic news that these families are about to receive from the police. In addition, this fatal single-vehicle Phoenix car accident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Arizona car accidents. Every year, more than 140,000 such accidents occur, and they lead to more than 65,000 injuries and to more than 1,000 deaths.
Phoenix Wrongful Death Lawyers
Clearly, more information would need to be reviewed closely before any legal recommendation could be made, but Arizona law requires drivers to protect their passengers from situations of unreasonable risk of harm. If it turns out that the driver was negligent in causing this Phoenix car accident, it could lead to the filing of an Arizona wrongful death lawsuit against the estate of the driver by the family of the passenger who was killed.
If such a claim was filed and was successful, the family could recover damages that compensate them for their medical, funeral, and burial costs as well as their lost income and loss of companionship.
If you have lost someone you love to a negligent driver, you need to seek the help of Phoenix wrongful death lawyers who have been holding those responsible for these tragic losses accountable for many years.

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

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.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.
