WHAT TO DO AFTER A FATAL DUI CRASH ON 19TH AVENUE IN PHOENIX?

Losing a loved one can be overwhelming, and victims may struggle with sadness, anger, guilt, and regret. In addition to grief, DUI fatal accident victims may also face financial struggles. The sudden loss of a loved one can have significant financial implications, including funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, and loss of income. Victims may struggle to cope with these expenses, which can add to their emotional burden.

Moreover, DUI fatal accident victims may also struggle with feelings of injustice and frustration. Knowing that the driver who caused the accident was under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be especially difficult, as it can feel like the accident was preventable.
