What Are the Most Dangerous Intersections In Phoenix?

Ten of the most dangerous intersections in Phoenix, AZ, are found in the heart of the city. These intersections include common crossings between 51st Avenue and Camelback Road, 43rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road, and 75th Avenue and Indian School Road. 

How are you supposed to safely navigate the Grand Canyon State’s biggest city if there’s danger at every turn? When you know which intersections are the most dangerous, you can take preventative measures to avoid dangerous negligence. If you do get into an intersection accident, you can work with Phoenix car accident lawyers to hold the right parties accountable.

Which Intersections in Phoenix Are the Most Dangerous?

Arizona’s Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) used accident data gathered between 2017 and 2022 to determine which of Phoenix’s roads posed the greatest dangers to drivers. Their results revealed that the following intersections make up the most dangerous in the area:

• 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road
• 67th Avenue and McDowell Road
• 75th Avenue and Indian School Road
• 67th Avenue and Indian School Road
• 75th Avenue and McDowell Road
• 27th Avenue and Camelback Road
• 43rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road
• 35th Avenue and Glendale Avenue
• 51st Avenue and McDowell Road

These intersections pose a particular threat to public safety because, according to the Weighted Intersection Safety Score, they have high rates of crash frequency, crash severity, and crash type.

While residents can take extra precautions when using these intersections, no one can control how other people behave on the road. Fortunately, there are statutes in place in Arizona that allow wrongful accident survivors to take legal action against negligent drivers after intersection crashes.

What Kind of Accidents Can You Get Into at an Intersection?

An Arizona driver may find themselves involved in a variety of accidents at any of the aforementioned dangerous intersections. Some of the most common include the following:

• Rear-end collisions
• T-bone collisions
• Sideswipes
• Head-on collisions

Drivers may also find themselves involved in multi-vehicle collisions, with other parties involved, including truck drivers, motorcyclists, and sometimes even pedestrians.

Should you find yourself involved in an intersection accident, it’s in your best interest to contact emergency responders as soon as possible. Call 911 and make sure you and your loved ones get any medical treatments you need to stabilize your health. You can begin brainstorming your financial recovery once medical professionals have the situation under control.

When Should You Call an Insurance Company?

Most insurance companies in Arizona want you to get in contact with a representative within a few days of your collision. While we recommend contacting an insurance provider shortly after your crash, consider waiting until after you’ve discussed your accident with an experienced attorney.

Our Phoenix personal injury lawyers can help you protect your right to fair compensation when they join you in conversations with insurance claims adjusters. We can also begin gathering evidence relevant to your recovery before insurance claims adjusters remove it from the scene, preventing adjusters from wrongfully denying your claim.

When Should You Call a Phoenix Car Accident Lawyer?

We recommend contacting a car accident lawyer as soon as possible after a collision. If you decide to contact an attorney later in your recovery, remember that you’re working against Arizona’s personal injury statute of limitations.

The state statute of limitations does not impact your right to file an insurance claim against someone after an intersection accident. However, it does impact your right to file a personal injury claim. 

The general rule gives you no more than two years to file a personal injury claim after your collision. The sooner you get in touch with Zanes Law, the better use we can make of your actionable time.
