Local Impact of Wrongful Deaths in Glendale
Wrongful deaths in Glendale, AZ result from many types of negligence, including fatal car accidents on the Loop 101 and Bell Road, construction fatalities at active job sites across the growing city, and deaths caused by defective products or dangerous premises. Maricopa County consistently ranks among Arizona's highest-population counties for traffic fatalities, and Glendale contributes a significant share of those tragedies. The August 2020 fatal accident at the intersection of 83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue, which resulted from a driver running a red light at high speed, exemplifies the kind of preventable catastrophe that leaves families devastated and in urgent need of legal advocacy. Workplace fatalities on Glendale construction sites and industrial properties have also led to wrongful death claims pursued by surviving spouses and dependents. Arizona's wrongful death statute, codified at ARS 12-612, allows the personal representative of the deceased's estate to bring a claim on behalf of eligible survivors. The two-year statute of limitations runs from the date of death. Acting within that window is essential, as does early evidence preservation. Avian Law Group handles each wrongful death case with the gravity and compassion it deserves, always keeping the family's well-being at the center of our work while pursuing aggressive legal action against those responsible.
