  • Call the police, ask the officer to provide you with an accident exchange form.
  • Do not admit contributing to the cause of the accident or apologize to anyone involved.

  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property Damage

In Arizona, if you were injured in a bicycle accident you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. In some instances the deadline to file a claim may differ. For example if a government vehicle caused the crash your claim must be filed within 180 days. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is filed on time. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver.

Colorado and Bicycle Accidents

Colorado, Arizona sits in Yavapai County in north-central Arizona, roughly 90 miles from the Phoenix metropolitan area. This small community lies in a region characterized by winding roads, seasonal weather variations, and a mix of rural and developing suburban areas. The proximity to Highway 69 and State Route 260 means that Colorado experiences steady traffic flow, particularly during weekends when recreational cyclists and tourists traverse the scenic byways leading toward Flagstaff and the Mogollon Rim. The combination of narrow roads designed for local traffic, increased tourist cycling during cooler months, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing the road with bicyclists creates elevated accident risk in this area. Additionally, Colorado's elevation and terrain attract serious cyclists, yet many drivers passing through the region fail to anticipate bike traffic, leading to dangerous collisions that cause severe injuries to riders.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Colorado

Under Arizona law, victims of bicycle accidents retain the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage from at-fault drivers. Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you're partially responsible—though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. You have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, making prompt action essential to preserve evidence and witness testimony. For Colorado residents, Sher Law Group handles bicycle accident claims throughout Arizona, including cases in Yavapai County and surrounding jurisdictions. This statewide approach means you receive experienced legal representation without needing to hire a distant firm unfamiliar with local court procedures and insurance practices specific to your area.
