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.

Motorcycle Accidents on Chandler's Busy Roads and Intersections
Chandler's rapid growth has brought increased traffic to corridors like Loop 202 (Santan Freeway), Chandler Boulevard, Arizona Avenue, and Ray Road — all of which see frequent motorcycle accidents. High-volume intersections near the Price Road Corridor tech hub and the busy retail zones along Chandler Boulevard create dangerous conditions for riders. Lane-splitting confusion, inattentive drivers making left turns, and sudden stops in highway traffic are among the most common causes of serious motorcycle crashes throughout Chandler. Because motorcyclists have so little physical protection, these collisions often result in traumatic injuries including broken bones, road rash, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries.
Why Chandler Motorcycle Accident Victims Need a Local Attorney
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning insurance companies will aggressively attempt to assign a portion of blame to the motorcyclist — often using bias against riders to reduce or deny claims. In Chandler, cases involving serious injuries are typically litigated in Maricopa County Superior Court, where understanding local procedures, judges, and court timelines genuinely matters. Arizona also requires that all claims be filed within two years of the accident date under the state's statute of limitations, making it critical to act quickly. A lawyer familiar with the Chandler area understands local traffic patterns, can identify relevant surveillance or traffic camera footage, and knows how to counter the insurance tactics commonly used against motorcycle accident victims in the East Valley.
