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.

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.

Hayden and Motorcycle Accidents

Hayden, Arizona sits in Gila County in the heart of rural central Arizona, positioned between Phoenix and the mountainous regions that draw riders from across the state. The town's proximity to U.S. Route 60 and State Route 177 creates a natural corridor for motorcycle enthusiasts traveling through the area, particularly those heading toward the Apache Trail or the Salt River Canyon. Hayden's rural character and the scenic roads surrounding it make it an attractive destination for weekend riders, but these same factors contribute to motorcycle accident risk. The combination of winding mountain roads, varying traffic patterns, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing these corridors with motorcycles creates hazardous conditions. Additionally, the distance between emergency services and the remote nature of some local roads means that motorcycle accidents in Hayden often result in more severe injuries than in urban areas, making experienced legal representation critical for affected riders and their families.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Hayden

Arizona follows a comparative negligence standard, meaning you can recover damages even if you're partially at fault for your motorcycle accident, as long as you're less than fifty percent responsible. Arizona's two-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims, giving you a limited window to file suit. You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement. Since Hayden falls within Gila County jurisdiction, cases may be tried in Globe or Payson depending on complexity and local court schedules. Sher Law Group represents motorcycle accident clients throughout Arizona, including the Hayden area, and we handle the complexities of Gila County litigation while maintaining close contact with our clients. Understanding these legal protections is essential, and an attorney familiar with Arizona law can help ensure you don't miss critical deadlines or undervalue your claim.
