  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.

Pinetop-Lakeside and Motorcycle Accidents

Nestled in Navajo County at an elevation of 7,200 feet, Pinetop-Lakeside sits roughly 150 miles northeast of Phoenix and Scottsdale, making it a popular mountain retreat for Arizona residents seeking cooler temperatures and scenic beauty. The town's picturesque location along Arizona State Route 260 and proximity to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest draw thousands of visitors and local motorcycle enthusiasts annually. However, this same appeal creates unique hazards for riders. Winding mountain roads, sudden elevation changes, seasonal weather shifts, and an influx of unfamiliar riders navigating technical terrain contribute to a notable number of motorcycle accidents in the area. Whether you're a year-round resident or a visitor who suffered injuries on Pinetop's roads, understanding your rights after a crash is critical to protecting your future.

You may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
