Truck accident cases in Tempe involve complex federal regulations and multiple insurance policies that don't apply to regular car crashes. These commercial vehicle incidents require understanding DOT compliance records, driver logbooks, and cargo loading procedures. The size difference between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles means injuries are often more severe, requiring extensive medical treatment and longer recovery periods. Arizona law gives injured parties two years to file a lawsuit, but evidence like electronic logging device data and black box recordings can be lost or overwritten much sooner without proper legal action.
Tempe's major freight corridors create specific collision patterns we see regularly. I-10 handles heavy long-haul traffic between California and Texas, leading to driver fatigue crashes during extended routes. The interchange areas where Loop 101, Loop 202, and US-60 intersect see frequent blind spot crashes as trucks navigate multiple lanes. Wide-turn collisions happen often on Mill Avenue and Rural Road where trucks must swing into adjacent lanes. Jackknife accidents occur on highway on-ramps during sudden braking, while tire blowouts from overloaded cargo are common on the steep grades approaching ASU campus.
If you've been injured in a truck crash, avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters until you understand your rights. Trucking companies carry much larger insurance policies than regular drivers, but their adjusters work quickly to minimize payouts. Get medical attention immediately - even if you feel okay initially, adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, about 15 minutes from central Tempe, handles severe trauma cases when local facilities aren't sufficient. Depending on your case, you may need to file in Tempe Municipal Court for property damage or Maricopa County Superior Court for personal injury claims.

If a Government Entity Was Involved — Shorter Deadlines Apply
When the at-fault party may be a government entity — a city or county, a public school, a state agency, ADOT, a police or sheriff department, a public hospital, or a government-owned road or vehicle — Arizona imposes two deadlines that are much shorter than the general two-year period:
Missing the 180-day notice typically bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the case is. Early legal review helps identify whether a government defendant applies and protects both deadlines.
