Despite stringent DUI laws in Arizona, incidents of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs persist. Under Arizona law, a person is considered to be driving under the influence (DUI) if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher. However, a driver can still be deemed impaired and held liable if alcohol is a contributing factor in an automobile accident, even if their BAC does not exceed the legal limit.

After a car accident, it is crucial to be evaluated for injuries. The evaluation may consist of:
Seeking immediate medical care after a collision is crucial; it can mitigate worsening trauma and may even be life-saving. Additionally, it documents the severity of injuries sustained in the vehicle accident, the treatment administered, and the associated costs of the care you received.
