  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 Prescott, 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 Prescott?

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 Prescott 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 Prescott 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.

Prescott and Motorcycle Accidents

Prescott sits in Yavapai County, roughly 100 miles north of Phoenix at an elevation of nearly 5,400 feet, making it a popular destination for riders seeking scenic mountain roads and cooler temperatures. State Route 89 and U.S. Route 89A cut through the area, attracting motorcycle enthusiasts from across Arizona who come to experience the winding passages through the Prescott National Forest. However, this same appeal creates significant risk. The combination of elevation changes, seasonal weather variation, and increased recreational traffic means Prescott experiences a steady flow of motorcycle accidents. Mountain roads demand precision and respect; riders unfamiliar with local conditions, along with drivers who underestimate two-wheeled vehicles, create dangerous situations. Loose gravel on curves, sudden weather shifts, and blind turns on U.S. 89A have all contributed to serious motorcycle injuries. The Prescott community understands these risks well, and local riders deserve knowledgeable legal representation when accidents occur.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Prescott

Arizona follows comparative fault rules, meaning your recovery can proceed even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident—though your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim in Yavapai County Superior Court, a deadline that takes priority and cannot be extended without serious legal consequences. If you suffered injuries, you can recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in severe cases, punitive damages. Sher Law Group serves Prescott residents throughout Arizona, and while our office is based in Scottsdale—about 90 minutes south—we routinely handle motorcycle accident cases across Yavapai County and work with local experts familiar with Prescott's roads and conditions. Understanding Arizona's statute of limitations and your damage entitlements is critical; waiting or handling communications with insurers alone often costs injured riders significant recovery.
