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 Litchfield, 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.

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

Litchfield and Motorcycle Accidents

Litchfield, located in Maricopa County approximately 40 miles west of Phoenix, sits in a rapidly growing suburban corridor between Goodyear and Avondale. The area's proximity to Interstate 10 and Arizona State Route 85 creates significant traffic volume, particularly as commuters travel between the West Valley and central Phoenix. The expanding population and increasing commercial development have brought more vehicles to Litchfield's roads, and motorcyclists are especially vulnerable in this environment. Rural and semi-rural stretches near Litchfield present additional hazards—reduced visibility, gravel shoulders, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing roads with motorcycles create dangerous conditions. When combined with high-speed highway corridors and the area's growing congestion, motorcycle accidents in and around Litchfield often result in serious injuries. Unlike enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists lack protection from impact, making even moderate collisions catastrophic.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Litchfield

Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident—provided you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and permanent disability costs.
