Arizona Car Accidents and Your Right to Compensation
Arizona is known for its natural beauty and iconic destinations, from the Hoover Dam to Saguaro National Park. Unfortunately, it is also home to a high number of traffic collisions. Each year, more than 120,000 car accidents occur across the state, with over 50,000 resulting in injuries.
If you were injured or your vehicle was damaged in an Arizona car accident, you may be facing mounting medical bills, time away from work, and pressure from insurance companies. This is not something you should have to handle alone. An experienced Arizona car accident lawyer can protect your rights, deal with insurers, and pursue the full compensation you deserve under Arizona law.
At Applebaum Accident Group, we help accident victims stand up to insurance companies and negligent drivers while focusing on what matters most—your recovery.

Understanding Car Accident Compensation in Arizona
No two car accident cases are alike. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and who is legally responsible. Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning more than one party may share responsibility for a crash.
Even if you are partially at fault, you may still recover compensation. For example, if you are found 30% responsible, you may still recover 70% of your total damages.
Compensation in Arizona car accident cases may include:
-
Medical expenses (current and future)
-
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
-
Vehicle and property damage
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
Insurance policy limits and the extent of your injuries play a significant role in determining case value. Speaking with an attorney early can help preserve evidence and protect your ability to recover damages.
Where Do Car Accidents Commonly Occur in Arizona?
Most Arizona crashes occur in urban areas, where traffic congestion and intersections increase collision risks. However, rural accidents are more likely to result in severe or fatal injuries due to higher speeds and longer emergency response times.
Maricopa County accounts for a significant portion of the state’s crashes, particularly in and around Phoenix. High-risk intersections and heavily traveled roadways contribute to frequent collisions, reinforcing the importance of defensive driving and legal accountability when accidents occur.
Common Types of Car Accidents
The type of crash you were involved in can affect both liability and injury severity. Some of the most common car accidents include:
-
Rear-end collisions, often caused by distracted or aggressive driving
-
Sideswipe accidents, frequently involving unsafe lane changes
-
T-bone crashes, common at intersections when drivers fail to yield
-
Head-on collisions, which are among the most dangerous
-
Single-vehicle accidents, often involving road hazards or driver error
-
Multi-vehicle and chain-reaction crashes, especially on highways
Determining fault requires a careful investigation of the accident type, traffic laws, and available evidence.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Car Accidents
Even low-speed collisions can cause serious injuries. High-speed crashes significantly increase the risk of long-term or permanent harm.
Common car accident injuries include:
-
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
-
Broken bones
-
Back and neck injuries
-
Spinal cord damage
-
Traumatic brain injuries
-
Burns, paralysis, or amputations
Many injuries require ongoing medical care and rehabilitation. Legal representation helps ensure these future costs are accounted for in your claim.
Dealing With Insurance Companies After a Crash
Insurance companies often appear helpful at first—but their goal is to minimize payouts. Adjusters may pressure you into giving statements, accepting blame, or settling before the full extent of your injuries is known.
In Arizona’s comparative fault system, even a small admission of responsibility can significantly reduce your compensation. Having an attorney handle all communication with insurers protects you from these tactics and allows your case to be evaluated fairly.
When Applebaum Accident Group represents you, we manage negotiations, challenge low settlement offers, and prepare your case for trial if necessary.

Seek medical attention immediately
-
Keep copies of medical records and repair receipts
-
Follow all prescribed treatment plans
-
Write down everything you remember about the accident
-
Obtain a copy of the police report
-
Speak with a car accident lawyer as soon as possible
