Fountain Hills 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 Fountain, Arizona?

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

Fountain and Motorcycle Accidents

Fountain, Arizona sits in Gila County in the central part of the state, positioned between the larger metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Scottsdale to the west and the mountain communities to the east. The town's rural character and proximity to Highway 60 create specific conditions that make motorcycle accidents a genuine concern for riders in the area. Winding roads through desert terrain, seasonal dust storms, and the mix of local traffic with through-traffic heading toward Apache Trail and surrounding recreational areas means motorcycle operators face unpredictable hazards. Gravel shoulders, livestock crossing warnings, and drivers unfamiliar with the region's road conditions contribute to collision risks that riders in and around Fountain experience at higher rates than in more controlled urban environments. Understanding the local accident patterns is the first step toward recognizing your rights if you've been injured on two wheels.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Fountain

Arizona law provides motorcycle accident victims with important protections, even when injuries are severe. The state follows a comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were not more than fifty percent responsible for the accident. You have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, a deadline known as the statute of limitations that should never be ignored. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability costs—critical protections for riders whose injuries often require extensive rehabilitation. For Fountain residents, Sher Law Group's Scottsdale office is conveniently accessible, and because we handle motorcycle accident cases throughout Arizona, local court jurisdiction and procedural requirements are well within our expertise and experience.
