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.

Cave and Motorcycle Accidents

Cave, Arizona sits in Gila County in the heart of central Arizona, positioned between Payson and the San Carlos Apache Reservation in a region characterized by rugged terrain, winding mountain roads, and sparse rural development. The town's isolated location and proximity to State Route 77 and Forest Service roads make it a popular destination for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking challenging rides through Arizona's high country. However, these same scenic routes present serious hazards for riders. The combination of sharp curves, elevation changes, unpredictable weather, and limited traffic enforcement creates an environment where motorcycle accidents occur with alarming frequency. Local riders often underestimate the risks posed by sudden weather shifts, gravel-strewn roads, and encounters with wildlife. Additionally, many accidents in this area involve drivers unfamiliar with the terrain who fail to anticipate motorcyclists on blind curves, resulting in devastating collisions that leave riders with severe injuries far from immediate medical care.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Cave

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through comparative fault principles, allowing injured riders to recover damages even if partially at fault, provided their negligence doesn't exceed fifty percent. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in severe cases, punitive damages. For Cave residents, Sher Law Group provides accessible representation despite the distance from our Scottsdale office, as we handle motorcycle accident cases throughout Arizona.
