  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 El, 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 El?

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 El 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 El 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.

El and Motorcycle Accidents

El, Arizona, sits in Graham County in the southeastern part of the state, positioned along the corridor between Safford and the San Francisco River. This rural community sits near U.S. Route 70, a major highway that connects residents to larger towns and serves as a primary route for regional traffic. The combination of rural landscape, winding roads, and the heavy truck traffic that passes through Graham County creates specific hazards for motorcycle riders. Many El residents ride motorcycles as practical transportation, and the mix of highway speeds, unpredictable weather conditions, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing the road with smaller vehicles makes motorcycle accidents a genuine concern in this area. Additionally, the distance from major medical facilities means that injuries sustained in local crashes often require transport to hospitals in Safford or beyond, making the initial moments after an accident even more critical for riders and their families.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in El

Arizona recognizes the rights of motorcycle accident victims under comparative negligence laws, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial fault for the crash, as long as you are not more than fifty percent responsible. The state provides a two-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim, so time matters if you've been injured. You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or scarring. El residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation—we handle cases throughout Arizona, including Graham County and the surrounding region, so distance is never a barrier to receiving experienced legal counsel.
