In Glendale and the greater Maricopa County area, wrongful death cases can arise from a variety of tragic circumstances, including:
Fatal car accidents and multi-vehicle collisions involving negligent or impaired drivers.
Commercial trucking or rideshare incidents where multiple parties may share liability.
Defective products or dangerous machinery that cause a fatal accident.
Workplace incidents or industrial accidents resulting in a loved one’s death.
Medical malpractice, surgical error, or delayed treatment leading to fatal outcomes.
Premises liability or negligent security (for example, a fall, assault, or hazard in a business or apartment complex).
When someone’s negligence, carelessness, or failure to exercise reasonable care causes a fatal accident, your family may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim and pursue compensation.
Though detailed Glendale-specific wrongful death data are limited, statewide statistics from recognized agencies show how serious fatal accidents are across Arizona:
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), there were 1,178 traffic fatalities statewide in 2023, with Maricopa County accounting for over half of all fatal crashes. Many of these deaths occurred on major routes that pass through Glendale, including Loop 101 and U.S. 60.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that unintentional injuries remain the third-leading cause of death in Arizona, a category that includes motor-vehicle crashes, falls, and other preventable incidents often tied to wrongful death claims.
Data from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) show that injury-related fatalities account for thousands of deaths each year, underscoring the significant impact of preventable deaths on Arizona families.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) further notes that Arizona consistently ranks above the national average in fatal crash rates, emphasizing the need for accountability when someone’s negligence leads to a loss of life.
These official sources demonstrate how wrongful death cases often stem from preventable incidents such as traffic collisions, falls, and workplace injuries, highlighting why Glendale families may need legal guidance to understand their rights and pursue compensation under Arizona law.
When you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, you may have legal rights, including:

The right to hold the responsible party accountable, whether a driver, corporation, public entity, or property owner.
