  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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Buckeye, Arizona?

Seek medical attention, call the police, document the scene, collect witness information, and do not speak with the other driver’s insurer before consulting a motorcycle accident attorney.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Buckeye?

The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims is generally two years from the date of the crash.

Can I recover compensation if I was not wearing a helmet during my Buckeye motorcycle accident?

Arizona does not require helmets for riders over 18, so not wearing one generally does not bar your recovery. An attorney can address any comparative fault arguments raised by the defense.

Buckeye and Motorcycle Accidents

Buckeye, Arizona sits in Maricopa County roughly 35 miles west of Phoenix, positioned along the I-10 corridor that connects the Valley's eastern suburbs to California. As a growing suburban community with a blend of rural character and increasing residential development, Buckeye residents frequently travel through high-traffic corridors and interstate highways where motorcycle accidents occur with troubling regularity. The I-10, US Route 60, and local roads like Watson Boulevard see significant daily traffic, and motorcyclists navigating these routes face unique vulnerabilities. Buckeye's expanding population means more vehicles on roads built for smaller volumes, creating congestion and distracted driving situations where motorcycle riders—who lack the protection of a car's frame—suffer catastrophic injuries. Weather conditions, including occasional dust storms and intense summer heat that can affect road conditions and visibility, compound these dangers. Understanding the specific hazards Buckeye riders face is essential when pursuing accountability after an accident.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Buckeye

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the crash, as long as you are less than fifty percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a critical deadline that requires prompt action and legal guidance. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and motorcycle repair or replacement costs. Buckeye residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation, meaning proximity to our Scottsdale office never prevents us from handling your case thoroughly. Whether your accident occurred on I-10 near Buckeye, on local streets, or during travel through surrounding areas, we understand Maricopa County court procedures and insurance company tactics specific to this region.
