Eloy Road Network and Context
Eloy is a small city in Pinal County located directly on I-10, approximately 30 miles north of Tucson and 70 miles south of Phoenix. I-10 through Eloy is one of the highest-volume commercial truck corridors in the western United States — this segment of I-10 between the two major Arizona metros carries sustained 24-hour commercial freight volume that makes it statistically among Arizona’s most truck-crash-exposed freeway segments. The Toltec Road interchange (I-10 exit 200) and the Sunland Gin Road interchange (exit 208) concentrate crash exposure at on-ramp/off-ramp merges where speed differentials between freeway and surface traffic produce documented collision patterns. SR-87 connects Eloy north toward Coolidge and the East Valley mesa communities, carrying both local agricultural and commuter traffic. Sunshine Boulevard is the primary commercial arterial within the city proper. The Arizona Skydiving Center in Eloy generates air-to-ground sport parachuting activity that adds an unusual tort exposure layer to the area’s legal environment.

Arizona Wrongful Death — ARS 12-611
ARS 12-611 gives surviving family members the right to seek compensation when a person dies as a result of another party’s wrongful act. The damages under ARS 12-613 compensate for loss of love, companionship, financial support, and household services. I-10 through the Pinal County segment between Eloy and Casa Grande is among the state’s highest-fatality freeway segments per mile — the combination of sustained high truck volume, high passenger vehicle speeds, and the crash dynamics of a freeway without significant natural speed moderation between the two major metros produces fatal crash rates that exceed comparable segments in denser metro areas. Civil wrongful death claims file in Pinal County Superior Court (971 N Jason Lopez Circle B, Florence AZ). When a government entity is involved, ARS 12-821.01’s 180-day notice runs from the date of death.
