  2. Motorcycle Accidents

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 Miami, 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 Miami?

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 Miami 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.

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 Miami 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.

Miami and Motorcycle Accidents

Miami, Arizona sits in Gila County in the heart of rural central Arizona, positioned along US Route 60 between Globe and the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. This small community's location along a major east-west corridor means steady traffic from commuters, travelers, and commercial vehicles passing through the region. The winding nature of US 60 as it traverses the Arizona high country creates challenging riding conditions that attract motorcyclists but also increase accident risk. The combination of elevation changes, seasonal weather variations, and mixed traffic patterns makes motorcycle accidents a serious concern for Miami residents. Rural highways in this part of Arizona often see drivers unfamiliar with local conditions, and the transition between high-speed stretches and tighter curves can catch riders off guard. When motorcycle accidents occur in Miami, the injuries tend to be severe due to the lack of protective barriers that vehicles provide and the remote nature of the area, which can delay emergency medical response.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Miami

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility, 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 lawsuit under Arizona's statute of limitations, making prompt legal consultation essential. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and future medical care costs.
