Avondale Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

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.

Avondale and Motorcycle Accidents

Avondale, located in Maricopa County west of Phoenix, sits along the busy Interstate 10 corridor and is increasingly connected to greater Phoenix through major arteries like Dysart Road and Van Buren Street. This growing suburban community has experienced significant population expansion over the past two decades, transforming from a quiet rural area into a bustling residential hub. With more commuters traveling between Avondale and Phoenix or Scottsdale daily, motorcycle riders share congested highways and local roads with heavy truck traffic, construction vehicles, and distracted drivers unfamiliar with the area's expanding road network. The I-10, in particular, sees frequent high-speed motorcycle accidents due to lane-splitting, sudden traffic pattern changes, and drivers who fail to account for a motorcycle's smaller profile. Avondale's proximity to major employers in Scottsdale and central Phoenix means many riders use local roads as shortcuts, increasing exposure to intersection collisions and rear-end accidents where motorcyclists are often invisible to other motorists.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Avondale

Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, as long as you are fifty percent or less at fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though evidence preservation and witness statements become more valuable the sooner you take action. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and in severe cases, permanent disability or disfigurement. Arizona courts recognize that motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, and juries tend to award substantial compensation when negligence is clear. For Avondale residents, Sher Law Group provides the advantage of local knowledge combined with courtroom experience throughout Maricopa County and statewide representation, eliminating any inconvenience from the distance between Avondale and our Scottsdale office.
