Eagar Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

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 Eagar, 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.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Eagar?

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 Eagar 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.

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

Eagar and Motorcycle Accidents

Eagar, a small rural community in Apache County in northeastern Arizona, sits at an elevation of over 7,000 feet in the heart of the White Mountains. With a population of roughly 4,500 residents, Eagar offers the quiet character of rural Arizona, yet its proximity to U.S. Route 60 and state highways connecting it to larger cities like Show Low and Holbrook creates regular through-traffic. Motorcyclists are drawn to the mountain roads surrounding Eagar for their scenic curves and elevation changes, but these same winding highways present serious hazards. Weather conditions in the high country—sudden rain, fog, and snow in winter months—reduce visibility and traction. Combined with gravel shoulders, sharp turns, and occasional debris on rural roads, these conditions create a perfect storm for motorcycle accidents. Riders from Scottsdale and Phoenix often travel to Eagar's mountain routes, where their experience with valley riding may not prepare them for the unique dangers of high-altitude Arizona highways.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Eagar

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through comparative fault rules, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the crash—as long as you are 49% or less at fault. Your damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation costs. Arizona's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim, so time is critical. Eagar residents injured in motorcycle accidents should know that Sher Law Group handles cases throughout Arizona, including Apache County, and understands the specific challenges of rural accident investigations and insurance claims in smaller communities. Whether your accident occurred on U.S. 60 near Eagar or on surrounding mountain roads, you have the right to pursue full compensation from negligent drivers.
