Bisbee 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.

Bisbee and Motorcycle Accidents

Nestled in Cochise County in southeastern Arizona, Bisbee sits roughly 90 miles south of Phoenix and represents a unique blend of historic mining town charm and remote desert living. The area's winding mountain roads, including scenic routes through the Mule Mountains and connections to US-80, attract motorcycle enthusiasts seeking challenging terrain and open-road riding. However, these same characteristics that make Bisbee appealing to riders create genuine hazards. The region's narrow, twisting highways with elevation changes demand skilled handling, and the rural nature of surrounding areas means longer distances between emergency services. Additionally, traffic patterns in and around Bisbee can be unpredictable, with tourist traffic mixing with local commuters and commercial vehicles. The combination of challenging road conditions, variable weather, and the area's distance from major medical centers means motorcycle accidents in Bisbee often result in serious injuries requiring immediate legal attention and experienced representation.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Bisbee

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. The state also imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, so prompt legal action is essential to protect your rights. You may recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and motorcycle repair costs, as well as non-economic damages including pain and suffering. Bisbee residents injured in motorcycle accidents should understand that insurance companies often undervalue claims or deny responsibility altogether, particularly in cases involving motorcycles due to persistent bias. Sher Law Group handles motorcycle accident cases throughout Arizona, including Cochise County, and our attorneys are familiar with local law enforcement procedures, court systems, and the specific challenges Bisbee riders face. We work with local medical providers and understand the unique circumstances of accidents in southeastern Arizona's terrain.
