Accidents Caused by Government Agencies
What Happens When Those We Turn To For Help Do The Wrong Thing?

Our Arizona Emergency Vehicle Accident Attorney Assist Victims of Police Pursuit Crashes, Emergency Vehicle Accidents, and Actions of Other Government Entities.

Our lawyers trust the police, emergency workers, and other government employees to think first about the people they’re serving. But all too often, a few overzealous individuals break the rules, and end up endangering the very people they should be helping.

Accident attorney Shane L. Harward PLC, has gained a great interest in coming to the aid of people who have suffered injuries in accidents caused by unnecessarily dangerous police pursuits and emergency vehicle accidents. I gained a passion for this work after one recent case, in which a mother of two was killed because of a reckless ambulance driver. Read about this case.

Police and Emergency Vehicles Have Rules They Must Follow

Police and emergency vehicle drivers will tell you that they have to drive fast to do their jobs. This is true, to a point. It may be justified to speed through an intersection to corner a murderer, but what if they’re chasing someone guilty of only a misdemeanor? Is it justified for an ambulance to run a red light on a busy street, with a high chance of causing another accident?

There are many national and regional standards that the police must follow in starting a pursuit. Most are based on the very reasonable principle that chasing after the perpetrator should not pose greater harm to the public than letting the perpetrator go. After all, around 40% of police pursuits end in a crash and 20% of all pursuits result in injury. (Read more about police pursuit standards, please refer to our Outline: Police Pursuits: the Use of Deadly Force.)

Our Arizona Accident Lawyers Take All Claims Seriously

Personal injury attorney Shane L. Harward PLC, have great respect for police, emergency workers, and other government employees. Every day they put their lives on the line for the public. But, like in any other profession, there are a few irresponsible individuals in these agencies who do more harm than good. These individuals should be held accountable for their conduct.
