Maricopa 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.

Maricopa and Motorcycle Accidents

Maricopa is a rapidly growing suburban community in Pinal County, located approximately 45 miles south of Phoenix and southeast of Scottsdale. The city's expansion along the Interstate 10 corridor and State Route 347 has brought increased traffic volumes, creating challenging road conditions for motorcycle riders. These major highways, combined with local arterial roads that connect Maricopa to neighboring communities, see heavy commercial and commuter traffic, particularly during peak hours. Motorcyclists in Maricopa face unique risks because larger vehicles often fail to account for their smaller profile, and rural stretches of road near the city limits present additional hazards including gravel shoulders, uneven pavement, and limited visibility. The combination of suburban growth, highway congestion, and the area's mix of urban and rural roads makes motorcycle accidents a serious concern for riders throughout Pinal County.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Maricopa

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. This is critical for motorcycle riders, who often face bias in accident claims. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under Arizona's statute of limitations, a deadline that applies whether your case is heard in Pinal County Superior Court or through settlement negotiations. You may recover economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage to your motorcycle, as well as non-economic damages including pain and suffering and permanent scarring. Maricopa residents work with Sher Law Group statewide, and our Scottsdale office is conveniently positioned to represent your interests while ensuring your case receives thorough investigation and aggressive advocacy from day one.
