Buckeye, AZ – One Dead, Several Injured in Single-Vehicle Rollover on I-10 at Miller Rd

Buckeye, AZ (August 02, 2022) – One person was killed and several others were injured during a one-car crash on Interstate 10 in Buckeye on Sunday, August 31st.  

The Arizona Department of Public Safety responded to reports of a single-vehicle rollover in the westbound lanes of the interstate in the area of Miller Road at about 10:00 a.m. 

One person died in the collision. 

According to Buckeye fire crews, four people were taken to local hospitals for immediate medical treatment. 

It is unclear if the deceased died at the scene or was one of those transported to a hospital. Their name is being withheld pending family notification. 

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

Traffic Collisions in Arizona

If you were injured in a traffic accident, you should seek the immediate advice of an Arizona personal injury lawyer to determine what types of financial compensation you might be entitled to and from whom. 

Some examples of common forms of compensation include:

• Damage to Property: If your truck, car, or some other piece of personal property is destroyed or damaged, such as the new laptop you had in the trunk, you could be able to secure restitution for the expenses associated with repairs, replacements, vehicle rental while yours is being fixed, or, if it was totaled, the cost of a new car.  
• Medical Bills: Medical expenses add up fast following a serious car crash in Arizona, especially when you take into account the fact that the injuries most often caused by these accidents include traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and whiplash.
• Pain and Suffering: These are immaterial damages without a fixed dollar amount resulting from your injuries that directly impact your quality and enjoyment of life.  
• Lost Earnings: If you sustained considerable injuries, it could be the case that you will not be able to physically return to work for a significant period of time. This will make your financial situation exceptionally trying as your medical bills continue to accumulate.

If the victim of an Arizona traffic collision dies from their injuries, the legal landscape surrounding your case has now shifted in such a way that you are eligible to bring a claim of wrongful death against the at-fault party. 

When successful, these claims can potentially produce damage awards that provide financial compensation to the victim’s surviving relatives for:

• Funeral expenses/Burial or cremation costs
• Hospital bills/Medical costs
• Loss of companionship
• Lost earnings the deceased would have contributed to the household
