Know Your Rights.
Reckless driving accidents are among the most dangerous and preventable collisions on Arizona roads. When a driver chooses to speed, ignore traffic laws, or drive aggressively, they put everyone around them at risk. At Rideout Law Group, we represent victims of reckless driving accidents and fight to hold negligent drivers accountable under Arizona law.
What Is Reckless Driving in Arizona?
Arizona defines reckless driving under ARS §28-693 as operating a vehicle with a “willful disregard for the safety of persons or property.” This includes actions such as:
- Excessive speeding or racing
- Weaving in and out of traffic
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Tailgating or aggressive lane changes
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
These behaviors often result in high-speed collisions, severe injuries, and even fatalities. In many cases, the reckless driver may also face criminal charges in addition to civil liability for damages.
Common Injuries from Reckless Driving Accidents
Victims of reckless driving crashes frequently suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and internal bleeding
- Permanent disfigurement or disability
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
Medical bills can quickly escalate into tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the long-term impact on your ability to work and live independently. That’s why having an experienced personal injury attorney is critical.

Our attorneys work quickly to investigate reckless driving crashes and preserve evidence—such as dashcam footage, eyewitness statements, and police reports. We negotiate with insurance companies and pursue full compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Punitive damages in extreme cases

Can I Sue a Reckless Driver in Arizona?
Yes. If you were injured by a reckless driver, you may file a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Arizona is a fault-based state, meaning the at-fault driver is financially responsible for your damages. You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim, so don’t delay in seeking legal counsel.
