Car Accident Hotspots in Phoenix

Phoenix’s major highways, including Interstate 10, Loop 202, and Interstate 17, see a high volume of traffic and frequent accidents. Busy intersections such as 19th Avenue and Camelback Road, and Indian School Road and 67th Avenue, are also known for a significant number of collisions. Our attorneys understand the local roadways and how dangerous driving patterns in these areas contribute to serious injuries.

In addition to these areas, drivers frequently encounter accidents on Loop 101, especially near Scottsdale Road and the Pima Freeway corridor. State Route 51 (the Piestewa Freeway) also experiences congestion and crashes, particularly near Northern Avenue and Shea Boulevard exits. Bell Road, one of Phoenix’s busiest east-west corridors, is another common site of multi-vehicle accidents.

Other notable hotspots include the downtown Phoenix area — particularly during rush hour — and around Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, where heavy pedestrian, bicycle, and student traffic can increase collision risks. Knowing these accident-prone areas can help drivers stay alert and potentially avoid dangerous situations on Valley roads.

Phoenix Car Accident Trends — and Why the Right Lawyer Matters

New data from the Arizona Department of Transportation reveals a troubling trend: Phoenix remains one of the top cities in the nation for motor vehicle crashes. In 2023, there were 38,311 reported crashes within the city limits — and more than a quarter involved injury or fatality.

The most common causes of accidents in the Phoenix metro area include:

• Speeding and aggressive driving
• Unsafe lane changes and failure to yield
• Distracted driving (including texting and smartphone use)
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Fatigue and drowsy driving

These dangerous behaviors lead to nearly 15,000 crashes annually across Arizona. In Phoenix alone, nearly 9,000 accidents each year involve serious injuries or fatalities.

Compared to other major cities, Phoenix consistently ranks near the top for fatal crashes, alongside places like Los Angeles and Houston. With a younger-than-average population (median age 34.8 years) and a high rate of multi-vehicle households, the Valley’s roadways see constant congestion — and increased risks.

After a crash, insurance companies act quickly — often offering low settlements before victims understand the full extent of their injuries. Having the right attorney on your side can make all the difference.

At Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers, we bring decades of experience, a 99% success rate, and millions recovered for Arizona families. Our team knows how to fight back, protect your rights, and maximize your recovery — while providing the compassion and straight talk you deserve.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Phoenix

The moments after a car accident can be overwhelming and chaotic. But what you do next can have a major impact on your health, your case, and your future. If you’re involved in a crash, follow these five steps to protect yourself — and your legal rights:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
   Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may not be obvious right away. Paramedics can assess your condition and create a medical record — which is crucial for your health and your claim.
2. Call the Police
   Law enforcement will secure the scene, ensure safety, and file an official accident report. This report is often key evidence in proving liability and protecting your case.
3. Exchange Information
   Get the other driver’s name, contact info, license number, and insurance details (including policy number). Stay calm and don’t admit fault — even if you feel partially responsible.
4. Document the Scene
   Take photos of the vehicles, the road, traffic signs, injuries, and any property damage. If there are witnesses, collect their names and phone numbers.
5. Contact a Phoenix Car Accident Lawyer
   Before talking to insurance companies, speak with an experienced attorney. The team at Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers will review your case, guide you through next steps, and help protect your rights — starting with a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Car Accidents in Phoenix

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in Arizona?

If another driver is at fault, their insurance should cover your medical expenses through bodily injury liability coverage. If you’re at fault, your own health insurance (or MedPay, if you have it) may apply. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, your own uninsured motorist coverage can help cover costs. Your attorney may also help negotiate with medical providers to delay billing until your case is resolved.

Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?

No — not before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to say things that weaken your claim. Let your attorney handle communications to protect your rights and ensure fair treatment.

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I need a police report to file a car accident claim?

While not legally required, a police report can be a critical piece of evidence in proving fault and protecting your claim. It’s always best to call the police and ensure an official report is filed at the scene.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Arizona?

You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Arizona. However, certain factors can affect deadlines — so speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What happens if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, you can file a claim under your own policy. Our team can help you understand your options and file against any available sources of compensation.
