Car Accidents by the Numbers
If you drive regularly in Globe or anywhere in Gila County, you’re likely familiar with the risks on rural roads, highways, and city streets. While staying alert behind the wheel can help reduce danger, even the most cautious drivers can’t always prevent collisions caused by someone else’s negligence.
National statistics highlight just how widespread and serious the problem is:
Over 1 million people lose their lives in car accidents globally each year, an average of 3,300 deaths per day
Around 50 million people are injured annually in traffic crashes
People between the ages of 15 and 44 are the most commonly affected
The total economic cost of car crashes in the U.S. is estimated at $230 billion per year
By 2030, traffic accidents are expected to become the fifth leading cause of death nationwide
These numbers reflect not just data but stories, individuals and families whose lives have been changed in an instant.
Common Types of Car Accidents We See in Globe
At Miller Kory Rowe, our attorneys represent people in Globe who have been seriously injured in major auto collisions. We focus on cases involving long-term consequences, life-altering injuries, or wrongful death.
Here are some of the most common types of car accidents we handle:
Rear-End Collisions
Often caused by drivers following too closely or failing to brake in time, these crashes can be especially serious at high speeds. We represent individuals suffering from spinal damage, neck injuries, and chronic pain that interferes with daily life.
Side-Impact Collisions
Also known as T-bone crashes, side-impact accidents often happen at intersections and are known for causing severe vehicle damage and life-threatening injuries. Brain trauma and spinal injuries are common, particularly when the impact occurs on the driver’s side.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of crashes. The force involved often leads to catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, internal damage, or fatalities. These accidents demand immediate legal attention to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Common Injuries from Car accidents
Car accident injuries vary widely depending on the nature of the crash, and they can range from minor to life-altering. Some people recover quickly with minimal medical care, while others are left facing permanent injuries and long-term disability.
In and around Globe, collisions often occur on rural highways, sharp turns, and narrow roads. These conditions can increase the risk of severe impact, especially at higher speeds.
The type and severity of injuries often depend on factors such as:
Whether seatbelts were worn
Where the vehicle was struck (front, side, or rear)
The presence and deployment of airbags
The position of the driver or passenger at the moment of impact
The speed and force of the crash
Types of Injuries
Injuries from car accidents are generally classified into two main categories: penetrating injuries and impact injuries.
Penetrating injuries involve cuts, scrapes, or lacerations. These are often caused by shattered glass or loose objects inside the vehicle. While some are minor, others may require stitches or ongoing wound care.
Impact injuries happen when the body hits part of the car’s interior, such as a knee striking the dashboard or a head hitting a side window or seat. These injuries can affect the brain, spine, joints, or internal organs and may require extensive medical treatment.
Even what seems like a minor crash in Globe can lead to serious injuries that interfere with work, mobility, and overall quality of life. That’s why it’s important to get a full medical evaluation after any collision and to speak with an attorney who understands the specific challenges of injury cases in smaller communities.
At Miller Kory Rowe, we represent clients in Globe and throughout Gila County who have suffered catastrophic injuries from high-impact crashes. These injuries often require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and may result in permanent life changes.
We take on cases involving the following types of serious injuries:
Soft Tissue Injuries
These involve damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons caused by sudden force or unnatural movement. Victims may suffer sprains in the lower or mid-back, swelling in the neck, or general pain and stiffness. In rare cases, injuries can include temporary paralysis of the vocal cords.
Head and Brain Injuries
In head-on or side-impact crashes, victims may strike their head on the steering wheel, dashboard, or window. This can lead to surface wounds like scrapes or bruises, or more serious internal injuries. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) may result in long-term cognitive impairment, memory loss, hearing or vision problems, or even coma. These cases require immediate medical care and ongoing treatment.
Chest Injuries
While some chest injuries are mild, such as bruising, others can be life-threatening. Broken ribs and internal bleeding are common in high-speed collisions. Even with a seatbelt, victims can suffer serious bruising from being thrown forward against the steering wheel or dashboard.
Limb Injuries
Leg and arm injuries often result from side-impact crashes, particularly for backseat passengers. Knees may strike the dashboard or seatbacks, causing bruising, sprains, or broken bones. In some cases, surgical repair is required, and mobility can be permanently affected.
Spinal and Back Injuries
Spinal cord trauma can lead to nerve damage, loss of movement or sensation, and in the most serious cases, permanent paralysis. Even less severe injuries, like a herniated disc, can cause lasting pain, numbness, or muscle weakness that affects daily life and the ability to work.
Your Rights After a Car Accident in Globe
If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, Arizona law gives you important legal protections. These rights are designed to help you seek accountability and fair compensation.
You have the right to:
Receive compensation for your injuries and property damage
Contact the police and file a report
Speak with witnesses and collect their contact information
Take photos or videos of the scene and any damage
Seek medical treatment promptly
Just as importantly, you have the right to remain silent. You are not legally required to speak with the other driver, their insurance company, or any investigator representing them. Anything you say could later be used against you.
What Not to Do After a Crash
Certain actions can unintentionally harm your case. Here’s what to avoid:
Do not admit fault
Even saying “I’m sorry” can be misinterpreted as taking responsibility. Let the investigation determine what happened.
Do not leave the scene
Unless you need emergency medical care, stay at the accident site until law enforcement arrives and completes a report.
Do not accept a private settlement
Some drivers may offer cash on the spot to avoid involving insurance or legal consequences. Accepting this can limit your ability to file a proper claim later, especially if serious injuries develop after the fact.
If you were injured in a car accident in Globe, Miller Kory Rowe is here to help you understand your rights, investigate the facts, and hold the responsible party accountable. Contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Auto Accidents
Q: What’s the first step after a car accident?
Make sure everyone is safe, call 911, and get medical attention. Once the immediate emergency is handled, contact a lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
Q: When should I hire a car accident lawyer?
It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible after the crash, especially if there are injuries, major vehicle damage, or disputes about fault.
Q: How much compensation can I receive after a car accident?
Your recovery depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how the crash affects your daily life.
Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation even if you were partly responsible, though your award may be reduced.
Q: How long will my car accident case take?
Each case is different. Some settle within a few months, while others take longer if the injuries are severe or liability is disputed.
Q: What will Miller Kory Rowe do for me?
Our experienced auto accident lawyers will investigate the accident, gather evidence, handle insurance negotiations, and, if necessary, take your case to court to pursue full and fair compensation.
What To Do After An Accident
If you are a motorist or a passenger, take the following steps after an accident:
If you’re involved in a car accident in Globe, whether as a driver or a passenger, your actions immediately afterward can affect your safety, your health, and any legal claim you may need to file. Follow these steps to protect yourself and your rights:
1. Stay at the Scene
Never leave the scene of an accident, even if the damage seems minor. Leaving could result in serious legal consequences. The only exception is if you require emergency medical attention.
2. Make the Area Safe
If it’s safe to do so, turn on your hazard lights or set out warning triangles to alert other drivers. At night, use a flashlight to help others see the scene. If you don’t have one, move to a safe location away from traffic and wait for help.
3. Call the Police
Always report the accident, especially if anyone is injured or if there is property damage. In Arizona, you’re required to report accidents that cause injury or damage. The police report will also be a critical part of any insurance or legal claim. Unless the vehicle is creating a traffic hazard, leave it where it is until officers arrive.
4. Be Accurate and Honest
Tell the police exactly what happened. Avoid speculation or guessing. If you’re asked whether you’re injured, it’s okay to say you’re not sure. Some injuries may not appear right away and could worsen over time.
5. Take Photographs
Use your phone or a camera to take clear photos of the vehicles, visible injuries, license plates, the surrounding area, and anything else that helps document the crash. If you’re unable to take photos at the scene, do it as soon as possible afterward.
6. Exchange Information
Collect the names, contact details, license plate numbers, driver’s license numbers, and insurance information of everyone involved. Also get contact information from any witnesses. Ask the officer for the report number so you can request a copy later.
7. Notify Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance provider right away. Ask if your policy includes medical payments coverage (med pay), which can help cover medical bills. Save all receipts for medical care, medication, or related expenses.
8. Organize Your Records
Keep every document related to the accident. This includes claim numbers, insurance communications, medical receipts, contact information for witnesses, and any expenses related to transportation or repairs. Store both digital and paper copies so nothing gets lost.
9. Contact an Attorney
Before signing anything from an insurance company, speak with a car accident attorney. Insurance companies often try to settle quickly, but the amount offered may not cover the full cost of your injuries. A lawyer can help ensure your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation.

Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.
MKR’s compassion and thoughtfulness was genuine and was able to ease our minds in what was a difficult time with the passing of our mom.
