Few people who experience the grandeur and splendor of the Grand Canyon State ever forget the wonders they witness. The Grand Canyon is consistently ranked among the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Carved by the Colorado River over the last two million years, the Canyon has been home to people throughout human history. Now it is a popular National Park, and millions of people each year come to view the indescribable beauty of the desert surroundings.
Unfortunately, with this influx of tourists comes an increase in the number of vehicle accidents. Accidents are a reality for people all over the country, and Arizona is no different. A great deal of intestate traffic passes through the state. 18-wheelers, big rigs, semis, and tractor trailers make up a significant amount of accidents through the state.

Arizona was the last state admitted into the 48 contiguous states, finally becoming a state on Valentine s Day, 1912. Although the harsh winters and blistering summers attracted few people to the new state, the advent of air conditioning after the Second World War gave rise to a population boom in Arizona, particularly retirees who wished to spend their last days in the relative comfort of the state.
Sports play an enormously important roll in the lives of the people of Arizona. The state is represented in all the major sports leagues by the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball, the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL, the Phoenix Suns of the NBA, and the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL. Thousands of people also flock to Lake Havasu every year to enjoy the fun of the Colorado River, but also to see the original London Bridge that spanned the River Thames.
The comparatively warm winter climate of Arizona makes it the ideal place for baseball spring training. The Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, and the Texas Rangers practice in the Cactus League of Arizona.
There are also a number of nationally renowned universities in Arizona, such as the Arizona State Sun Devils of the NCAA Division I that produced baseball greats Barry Bonds and Reggie Jackson, the University of Arizona Wildcats of the NCAA I-A in the Pacific Ten Conference, and Northern Arizona University Lumberjacks of the NCAA Division I in the Big Sky Conference.

A statute of limitations is a legal time limit that not only varies by state, but also by cause of action. In most cases, after this time restriction closes, the person who is suing loses the right to file a lawsuit seeking money damages or other relief. Once the delayed claim is disallowed by the statute of limitations, it cannot be activated in the future. Statutes of limitations were legislated in order to fend off such issues as perpetual litigation and stale claims.
