A fatal vehicle accident in Arizona occurs when a person loses their life as a result of a collision involving negligence, recklessness, or unsafe conditions. These cases often fall under wrongful death law.
Fatal crashes devastate families emotionally, physically, and financially. In Phoenix and surrounding areas, hundreds of fatal collisions occur each year, particularly along I-10, Loop 202, and US-60. These tragedies ripple through communities, leaving heartbreak and unanswered questions behind.
While no amount of money can replace a loved one, holding negligent parties accountable can provide a sense of closure and financial stability.
Fatal vehicle accidents rarely occur without cause. They are often the result of preventable decisions or system failures. Understanding what leads to these tragedies can help families make sense of the loss and empower them to pursue justice with clarity and confidence.
These aren’t just statistics; they represent real lives cut short and families forever changed.
The most common causes of fatal vehicle accidents in Phoenix include:
At Sotelo Law Group, we investigate every angle to uncover the truth and fight for your family’s justice. Daniel Sotelo takes a personal approach to every case, learning about who your loved one was and how they impacted the community around them.
That human connection drives how his firm tells each client’s story in the pursuit of accountability. He understands that families want more than legal results; they want to know their loved one’s memory matters.
Under his guidance, our team works diligently to honor that story with every action taken in and out of the courtroom.

Each eligible family member may have the right to recover damages, but the details can become overwhelming fast. That’s where we come in.
Sotelo Law Group will guide your family with patience and compassion at every step.

Our goal is to help families regain stability and focus on healing while we handle the legal and financial details.
Determining fault in fatal crashes requires a detailed, multi-layered investigation. In Arizona, liability can involve more than one party.
Sometimes it’s a negligent driver, other times a company that failed to maintain its fleet, or even a municipality responsible for unsafe roads. Establishing who is responsible means carefully piecing together every element of the event so that your loved one’s story is accurately and powerfully represented.
Our firm reviews every detail, including:
Attorney Daniel Sotelo personally ensures that each family understands what’s happening at every step and that their questions never go unanswered. His background growing up in Phoenix gives him insight into local road conditions, law enforcement procedures, and the unique challenges families face here.
That local knowledge, paired with his team’s dedication, allows Sotelo Law Group to pursue justice with precision and heart.
Phoenix has some of the most dangerous roadways in Arizona, including I-17 near Northern Avenue, Grand Avenue, and US-60 near Mesa Drive. Understanding these high-risk areas allows our team to investigate effectively and advocate for safer road conditions across the Valley.
Timing matters in fatal accident cases. Most wrongful death claims in Arizona must be filed within two years of the date of death. If a government entity or vehicle is involved, a formal notice must be filed within 180 days.
Acting quickly ensures your case remains eligible for compensation. Our team helps you meet every deadline and preserve your right to justice.
Many clients worry about how a personal injury case might affect their immigration status. Rest assured: personal injury and immigration are completely separate areas of law. Pursuing justice for your loved one will not impact your immigration situation.
If you have concerns, Sotelo Law Group can refer you to a trusted immigration attorney. Your right to fair treatment and compensation is fully protected.
When you’re fighting for the justice of your loved ones, the right law firm can make all the difference.
