  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

The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims is generally two years from the date of the crash.

Flagstaff and Motorcycle Accidents

Flagstaff's elevation, mountain terrain, and position in Coconino County create unique hazards for motorcycle riders. Located at nearly 7,000 feet above sea level along Interstate 40, Flagstaff sits between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon, making it a corridor for both local traffic and cross-state travel. The region's winding roads, frequent weather changes, and sudden elevation transitions demand constant vigilance from riders. Mountain passes near Flagstaff experience rapid temperature drops, increased precipitation, and reduced visibility that can catch even experienced motorcyclists off guard. Additionally, the seasonal influx of tourists unfamiliar with the area contributes to distracted and unpredictable driving behavior. Local highways like US Route 89 and State Route 87 see their share of serious accidents when vehicle operators fail to anticipate a motorcycle's speed or position, particularly on curves and downhill stretches common throughout Coconino County.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Flagstaff

Arizona follows comparative fault rules, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. The state allows a two-year statute of limitations from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, making prompt legal action essential. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability costs. As a Flagstaff resident, you have access to Sher Law Group's statewide representation without needing to hire a local attorney unfamiliar with complex motorcycle injury cases.
