Many car accidents in Tempe occur because of negligent drivers who panic or attempt to avoid liability. Common causes include:
Drivers operating under the influence who flee to avoid arrest.
Uninsured or underinsured drivers attempting to evade their car insurance company.
Distracted or reckless drivers who cause a motor vehicle accident and fail to stop.
Pedestrian accidents or property damage where the at-fault driver departs without reporting.
In these cases, accident victims face challenges proving fault, securing medical documentation, and dealing with uncooperative insurance companies. Our firm steps in to manage these legal aspects, ensuring you’re treated fairly throughout the process.
Tempe, located in the heart of Maricopa County, experiences some of the region’s heaviest traffic due to its dense urban layout and proximity to Arizona State University. Data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) shows that Arizona recorded 121,107 total crashes in 2024, including more than 1,200 fatal collisions and over 51,000 injury crashes. ADOT also reports that hit-and-run collisions made up roughly one in seven crashes statewide, illustrating the persistent risk of fleeing drivers.
According to the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), the MAG region, which includes Tempe, accounts for nearly two-thirds of all reported crashes in Arizona and almost half of statewide traffic fatalities.
On a national scale, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has documented a steady rise in hit-and-run fatalities over the past decade, especially involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Arizona continues to rank among the states with some of the highest per-capita hit-and-run fatality rates, underscoring the importance of experienced legal advocacy for Tempe residents impacted by negligent drivers.
Together, these findings highlight the importance of securing an experienced Tempe hit and run accident lawyer who can help gather the official police report, handle insurance claims, and pursue compensation when the other driver flees the scene.
Victims of a hit and run often wonder how to recover compensation if the driver cannot be found. Here’s what you should know:
Determine fault under Arizona’s liability laws: Even if the other driver leaves, Arizona allows victims to recover through uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage.
File a personal injury or car accident lawsuit: If you suffered serious injuries, including spinal cord injuries or internal injuries, a personal injury lawyer can help you pursue a fair settlement or take your case to trial.
Work with insurance adjusters carefully: Insurance adjusters often use tactics to minimize payouts. Our firm ensures your injury claim is handled fairly.
Seek medical attention and retain documentation: Your medical records, medical costs, and witness statements play a key role in proving damages.
Understand comparative negligence: Because Arizona is not a no fault state, your recovery depends on proving the at fault driver caused the crash.
