  2. Motorcycle Accidents

In 2019, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported 2,676 motorcycle collisions. Common motorcycle injuries include road rash, broken bones, nerve damage, head injuries, neck injuries, and spinal injuries. Motorcycle collisions often result in a higher likelihood of severe injuries because a motorcycle lacks the protections of a vehicle and differs vastly in weight with the vehicle causing the crash.

    If you were involved in a MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT it is important to take the following steps:
  • Contact help immediately if anyone was seriously injured and requires medical attention.
  • Obtain the contact information of the driver that caused the accident, inclusive of a picture of their driver's license and car insurance information.
  • Obtain contact information for any witnesses at the scene.
  • Call the police, ask the officer to provide you with an accident exchange form.
Take photos of the following:
  • Vehicles involved - take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your vehicle and the vehicle that hit you.
  • Skid marks, or road conditions such as construction signs, etc.
  • Any items in your vehicle that were damaged as a result of the impact.
If you were injured as a result of the negligent action of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Permanent Injuries

In Arizona, if you were injured in a motorcycle 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.

Apache and Motorcycle Accidents

Apache, Arizona, sits in Navajo County in the heart of the state's rural northeast region, roughly 150 miles from Phoenix and Scottsdale. The community's proximity to U.S. Route 191 and State Route 73 makes it a crossroads for both local traffic and through-travelers heading toward the White Mountains and beyond. These highways, while necessary for the area's connectivity, create hazardous conditions for motorcycle riders, particularly during seasonal weather changes and heavy commercial truck traffic. The rural character of Apache means longer distances between emergency services and fewer traffic controls, which compounds the severity of motorcycle accidents when they occur. Riders in this region often face unexpected road hazards, including gravel shoulders, wildlife crossings, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing the road with motorcycles. Local road conditions and the volume of through-traffic make Apache a location where preventable motorcycle accidents happen with troubling frequency.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Apache

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline known as the statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement. Apache residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation, which means your case will be handled by experienced Scottsdale-based attorneys familiar with Navajo County courts and local road conditions.
