Scottsdale Car Accident Statistics and Causes

With proximity to Phoenix, Scottsdale drivers may be used to dealing with heavy traffic. While it’s important to stay alert and drive cautiously in these situations, one person’s impatience or mistake could lead to an accident.

While Scottsdale isn’t a huge city, it did have a significant number of crashes in 2020. The Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts reported that the car accidents that occurred in Scottsdale totaled:

2,963 car accidents
19 fatal crashes with 20 fatalities
1,010 injury crashes with 1,510 people injured
1,934 crashes that caused property damage

Car accidents can have a number of causes. Distractions, speeding, running red lights, tailgating—they’re all typically the negligent actions of a driver. They prioritize something over driving, whether that’s answering the phone, attempting to eat while behind the wheel, or making better time. It’s a willful act that reduces their control of the vehicle and likely lead to the accident that harmed you.

In some cases, defective auto parts could be the reason why your crash happened. For instance, a car behind you noticed you were slowing down and started to use their brakes, but the brakes didn’t respond. It’s possible their brakes malfunctioned when they thought the car was safe to use. It takes an experienced eye to find out what events caused your accident.

That’s why our lawyers serve the Scottsdale, Arizona area. We know how these accidents can impact your life. We’re here to protect your rights and hold the negligent party accountable for their actions.

Have You Sustained Serious Car Accident Injuries?

When you’ve been in a car accident, you may have seen paramedics after the accident and later followed up with a doctor, or the accident may have been severe enough for you need transportation to the hospital immediately. Depending on the type of crash, like head-on collision, rear-end collision, or T-bone collision, and the speed of the crash, your injuries can vary from minor to severe.

Serious injuries from car accidents include:

Head and Brain Injuries
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
Broken Bones
Organ Damages
Loss of Limb

Minor injuries can still cause pain and possibly worsen if you don’t get immediate treatment. Concussions, sprains, and any undetected injuries may seem manageable right after the accident because you may be in shock. This affectively masks the symptoms of injuries and you don’t notice their severity until hours or days after the crash.

This is why it’s so important to seek treatment regardless of how you feel. Then, you can contact a Scottsdale, AZ car accident lawyer to help you take legal action.

How Your Scottsdale, AZ Car Accident Lawyer Will Fight for You

You’ll want to have a lawyer on your side as soon as possible. As you’re seeking treatment, you may start to get phone calls from an insurance adjuster. Their goal is to get an official statement from you and convince you to accept the first settlement they offer. This can seem enticing because you could have a compensation check and start taking care of your bills and other expenses. However, may not be in your best interests. The adjuster is focused on getting you to settle because that offer is likely less than you deserve, but it will protect their bottom line.

Your car accident lawyer can help you make sure you don’t provide the insurance company with information that could harm your claim, but they still get the information they need about the crash. Your attorney will then look into your injuries and losses and calculate what your claim is worth.

We’ll look at police reports, medical records, photographs, medical bills, and more so we can accurately calculate the compensation you’re owed. The following damages may apply to your case:

Medical Expenses (and future expenses)
Lost Wages
Property Damage
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Mental Anguish
Pain and Suffering

Your compensation will allow you to take care of the financial losses, get the medical treatment you need, and take into account how long you’ll have to live with your injuries before you’re recovered. Often, the damages that don’t have medical bills like loss of enjoyment of life may not be taken as seriously as you deserve. Your attorney will assess how your life has been affected because of the crash and your resulting injuries. You may not be able to participate in a team sport, you may have trouble keeping up with your children or grandchildren, or your injuries could have prevented you from attending an important event.

While all of this is on your shoulders, you shouldn’t have to worry about unfavorable settlements that will cause problems in the future. Your Scottsdale, AZ car accident lawyer will seek full and fair compensation on your behalf.

"Thank God we found him. He really seemed to care about our family."
Mr. Buckingham won our case after two other law firms said it would be impossible to win. He knew the medicine better than the experts in the case. I guess the fact that he’s also a doctor was a great help.

Former Client

Mr. Buckingham flew to the East Coast several times & understood how a correct gall bladder surgery is supposed to be done better than the surgeon. He was very knowledgeable & precise.

This was an experience I'll never forget and felt like family and not a business associate. Adrian kept me informed and up to date on all matters of the lawsuit. Needless to say, I received more ( much more ) than expected...
