  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

Clifton and Motorcycle Accidents

Clifton, Arizona sits in Greenlee County in the southeastern part of the state, a rural community surrounded by the rugged terrain of the Gila National Forest. While Clifton's population remains small and tight-knit, the area experiences significant motorcycle traffic due to its proximity to U.S. Route 191 and State Route 78, scenic corridors that attract touring riders and local enthusiasts seeking challenging roads through the Mogollon Rim region. The combination of winding mountain passes, elevation changes, and limited shoulder space creates hazardous conditions for motorcycle riders. Additionally, rural road maintenance, wildlife crossings, and occasional sudden weather shifts specific to Greenlee County's high-altitude climate increase accident risk. Riders traveling to and from Clifton often encounter unexpected road hazards, gravel patches, and vehicles unfamiliar with the area, making motorcycle crashes a serious concern for this community.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Clifton

Arizona follows comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability.
