  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 Duncan, 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.

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 Duncan 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.

Recoverable damages include medical bills, future care, lost wages, pain and suffering, motorcycle repair or replacement, and emotional distress.

What if the driver who hit me in Duncan does not have insurance?

Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Sher Law Group can help you pursue every available source of compensation.

Duncan and Motorcycle Accidents

Duncan, Arizona sits in Greenlee County in the southeastern part of the state, roughly 150 miles from Phoenix and positioned along a landscape characterized by rural terrain and winding roads. The town's proximity to US Highway 191, which cuts through the region connecting mining communities and rural areas, creates a unique environment where motorcycle riders frequently encounter challenging road conditions. The combination of sharp curves, elevation changes, and limited traffic enforcement in rural stretches of Greenlee County makes motorcycle accidents a serious concern for local riders. Duncan's remote location means that accidents here often occur with limited immediate medical response nearby, and the distance to major medical centers in Tucson or Phoenix can complicate injury recovery. Whether riders are traveling between communities for work, recreation, or passing through on longer regional journeys, the roads around Duncan present real hazards that result in preventable injuries year after year.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Duncan

Arizona law provides important protections for motorcycle accident victims, though understanding your rights is essential after a crash. The state follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident—as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of your accident to file a claim, but acting quickly is always wise since evidence preservation and witness memories fade quickly. Recoverable damages in motorcycle accidents include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. For Duncan residents, Sher Law Group provides convenient representation despite the distance; our Scottsdale office serves motorcycle accident clients throughout Arizona, and we handle cases in both Greenlee County Superior Court and the surrounding jurisdictions.
