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 Lake, 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 Lake?

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 Lake 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 damages can I recover after a motorcycle accident in Lake, Arizona?

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 Lake 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.

Lake and Motorcycle Accidents

Lake, Arizona, sits in Gila County in the state's central region, positioned along State Route 260 and within reasonable distance of the Phoenix metropolitan area. This small, rural community attracts motorcyclists who enjoy the scenic highways and winding roads that characterize central Arizona's landscape. The combination of rural terrain, variable road conditions, and seasonal traffic patterns creates conditions where motorcycle accidents occur with troubling regularity. Riders traveling through or near Lake often encounter narrow stretches of highway, gravel shoulders, and curves that demand precision handling. When drivers unfamiliar with local roads fail to anticipate these conditions, or when other motorists misjudge a motorcycle's speed and distance, serious collisions result. The relative isolation of Lake means that accident victims may face longer response times and transport distances to trauma centers, making the initial moments after a crash critically important for survival and recovery.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Lake

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims under a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the crash, as long as you are not more than fifty percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim, a deadline that applies whether your case settles or proceeds to trial. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and disfigurement—particularly important given the serious nature of motorcycle injuries. Lake residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation; while our main office is conveniently located in nearby Scottsdale, we represent injured clients throughout Arizona, including Gila County and beyond.
