  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 Nogales, 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 Nogales?

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 Nogales 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.

Nogales and Motorcycle Accidents

Nogales, located in Santa Cruz County in southern Arizona just 65 miles south of Phoenix, sits along the U.S.-Mexico border with a population of approximately 20,000 residents. The city serves as a vital international port of entry, making it a hub for cross-border commerce and travel. Interstate 19, the primary corridor connecting Nogales to Phoenix and Tucson, sees significant daily traffic from both commercial vehicles and commuters. The combination of heavy truck traffic, rural stretches with limited visibility, and the influx of border-crossing vehicles creates a high-risk environment for motorcycle accidents. Riders traveling through or near Nogales face unique hazards: unpredictable weather patterns, road conditions that can deteriorate rapidly, and drivers unfamiliar with local routes. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on these busy corridors, where a momentary lapse in attention from another driver can result in catastrophic injuries or death.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Nogales

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through its comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the collision, as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim, a deadline that requires prompt action to preserve evidence and witness testimony. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement resulting from your injuries. Nogales residents are served by the Santa Cruz County Superior Court, and Sher Law Group handles motorcycle accident cases throughout Arizona, including comprehensive representation for injured riders in border communities.
