Hit-and-run accidents in Paradise Valley are often caused by:
Distracted driving – drivers who fail to see other vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians and then flee instead of stopping.
Impaired driving – drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs who run to avoid arrest.
Driving without insurance or on a suspended license – some flee to avoid financial responsibility.
Hit-and-run motorcycle or pedestrian accidents – vulnerable road users often suffer severe injuries.
Failure to stop and render aid – Arizona law requires drivers to stop, exchange information, and provide reasonable assistance when an accident occurs.
Whether your crash involved a car, bicycle, or motorcycle, our legal team helps you establish fault, identify negligent parties, and pursue compensation for the injuries suffered.
According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the United States recorded approximately 737,100 hit-and-run crashes in 2015, and 2,049 fatalities in 2016, the highest number ever reported nationwide.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and AAA data reveal that the western region of the U.S., which includes Arizona, experiences a higher proportion of hit-and-run fatalities than other regions, with a fatality rate of about 1.06 per 100,000 people. Within Arizona, estimates from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) show a fatal hit-and-run rate of roughly 1.47 per 100,000 residents as of 2022.
Locally, the Paradise Valley Police Department reported that traffic injury collisions dropped from 24 in 2023 to 18 in 2024, reflecting the town’s relatively lower traffic volume compared to larger nearby cities. However, serious incidents still occur along high-traffic areas such as Lincoln Drive and Tatum Boulevard.
One high-profile example cited by FOX 10 Phoenix involved a bicyclist who was seriously injured in a hit-and-run near Camelback Mountain, illustrating that even Paradise Valley’s scenic areas can become the scene of devastating collisions.
These statistics demonstrate that while Paradise Valley remains one of Arizona’s safer communities, hit-and-run accidents continue to endanger residents, leading to catastrophic injuries, property damage, and lasting emotional trauma.
In a hit-and-run case, identifying the responsible party can be difficult. Witness statements, police reports, surveillance footage, and vehicle evidence are crucial to establishing liability. If the hit-and-run driver cannot be found, victims may pursue recovery through their own insurance company under uninsured motorist coverage.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents in Paradise Valley may pursue compensation for:
Medical expenses and ongoing treatment for severe injuries or traumatic brain injuries
Lost income and future lost wages
Vehicle damage and other personal property losses
Emotional trauma, PTSD, or mental anguish
Permanent disability and diminished quality of life
Wrongful death damages for families who have lost a loved one
Insurance adjusters may attempt to minimize claims, especially when the responsible driver is unidentified. Our attorneys can help you understand the claims process, evaluate the available evidence, and explore legal remedies under Arizona law.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
