  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

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.

Coolidge and Motorcycle Accidents

Coolidge, located in Pinal County roughly 50 miles south of Phoenix, sits at the crossroads of Arizona State Route 87 and U.S. Route 287, making it a transit hub for riders traveling between Phoenix, Tucson, and rural communities throughout central Arizona. The town's position along these major corridors, combined with its semi-rural character and mix of agricultural land and suburban development, creates unique accident risks for motorcycle riders. State Route 87, in particular, sees significant motorcycle traffic from enthusiasts heading to recreational riding areas in the Superstition Mountains and beyond. The combination of varied terrain, seasonal dust storms, and increased traffic volumes during peak travel seasons means Coolidge-area riders face elevated exposure to collisions with passenger vehicles, trucks, and hazards specific to Arizona's desert highways. Understanding these local risk factors is essential for riders and their families seeking accountability after a crash.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Coolidge

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for your motorcycle accident, as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Arizona's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that applies regardless of where the accident occurred. Recoverable damages in motorcycle accident cases include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and property damage. For Coolidge residents, Sher Law Group provides the advantage of proximity to our Scottsdale office while handling cases throughout Arizona's state and federal courts, including Pinal County Superior Court where your case may be filed.
