Hit-and-Run Accidents in Arizona
Hit-and-run crashes are a growing problem in Arizona, often leaving victims without immediate medical assistance and making investigations more difficult. Pedestrian-involved crashes, like the one at 35th Ave and Peoria Ave, frequently result in severe or fatal injuries due to the vulnerability of those on foot.
In Arizona, fleeing the scene of an accident—especially one resulting in serious injury or death—is a felony offense. While law enforcement continues to search for the suspect, families affected by these tragic incidents may face emotional, financial, and legal challenges.
Victims’ families may be eligible for compensation through insurance claims, civil lawsuits, or other legal avenues, especially if the responsible driver is identified. A thorough investigation can help bring justice and ensure accountability.
