Motorcycle Accidents in Arizona

Riders face a bias other drivers don't — insurance companies and even police reports sometimes assume a motorcyclist was at fault by default. Building a strong case means countering that assumption early, with real evidence, not just an account of what happened.

Common Causes

  • Driver negligence
  • Left-turn accidents
  • Blind spot collisions
  • Road hazards (potholes, debris, uneven surfaces)
  • Defective motorcycle parts

Case Types We Handle

  • Left-Turn Collisions
  • Lane-Change Collisions
  • Road Hazard Accidents
  • Defective Parts Claims

Injuries We See

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Road rash
  • Internal organ damage
  • Amputations
Real Outcomes

We don't settle just to close your case.

Case results depend on the specific facts of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Right After It Happens

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

What you do in the first hours and days can shape what your case is worth. Here's what actually matters.

1

Get Medical Attention

Road rash, head trauma, and internal injuries are common in motorcycle accidents and aren't always obvious right away. Getting checked out protects your health and creates a medical record tied to the accident date.

2

Preserve Your Gear and Bike

Don't repair or discard your helmet, jacket, or motorcycle before it's been examined. Damage patterns on your gear and bike are often key evidence for how the crash actually happened.

3

Call the Police

A police report creates an official record of the accident — important given how often riders get blamed by default. Make sure your side of the story is in that report.

4

Avoid Recorded Statements

Insurance adjusters often ask for a recorded statement early, before you know the full extent of your injuries. You're not obligated to give one.

5

Talk to an Attorney Before You Settle

Once you accept a settlement, you can't go back for more. A free case review costs nothing and helps you understand what your case is actually worth before you agree to anything.

What You May Be Entitled To

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims

A motorcycle accident can cost more than the medical bills alone. Arizona law lets you pursue compensation for the full impact — not just whatever the insurance company offers first.

Medical Expenses

Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.

Lost Wages

Income lost while you recover, plus future earning capacity if the injury changes what you can do.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for the physical pain and emotional toll the accident caused, not just the bills.

Property Damage

Vehicle repair or replacement, plus anything else damaged in the accident.

Punitive Damages

In cases of gross negligence — like drunk driving — additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party.

Know Your Rights

Arizona Law You Should Know

Two rules shape almost every motorcycle accident claim in Arizona: how long you have to file, and what happens if fault isn't 100% clear-cut. Both usually work in your favor more than people assume.

2 Years
Statute of Limitations
Arizona's deadline to file a motorcycle accident claim, from the date of the accident

Comparative Negligence

Arizona lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case just because fault isn't 100% clear-cut.

Don't Wait

In some cases, you may have as little as 6 months to file your complaint, and certain claims must settle within about a year. Start the process now instead of waiting and potentially missing out.

Questions

Frequently Asked Motorcycle Accident Questions

Do I need an attorney after a motorcycle accident?

Insurance companies often assume riders are automatically at fault. An attorney levels that playing field — the free case review carries zero obligation, so there's no downside to finding out where you stand.

What is the statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims in Arizona?

Two years from the date of the accident. After that, you generally lose the right to file a claim, so it's worth acting sooner rather than later.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Arizona's comparative negligence rule lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.

What are your fees?

No fee unless we recover for you. You pay nothing upfront, and nothing at all unless we win your case.

Will I be blamed just because I was on a motorcycle?

Insurance companies often assume riders are at fault by default — that's a bias, not a legal rule. We build the evidence that shows what actually happened, not what's assumed about riders in general.
