  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.

Prescott and Motorcycle Accidents

Prescott sits in Yavapai County at an elevation of nearly 5,400 feet in central Arizona, roughly 100 miles north of Phoenix and Scottsdale. The city's picturesque mountain setting and thriving arts community attract both residents and tourists who enjoy scenic drives on highways like US Route 89 and State Route 69. However, this same mountainous terrain and seasonal weather patterns create unique hazards for motorcycle riders. Winding roads, elevation changes, sudden weather shifts—including monsoon rains and occasional ice during winter months—significantly increase the risk of motorcycle accidents. Additionally, Prescott's growing population and increased traffic from visitors exploring nearby natural attractions mean riders face more congestion and unpredictable driver behavior. Road conditions that might seem manageable for four-wheel vehicles can become treacherous for motorcyclists, making accidents in and around Prescott a serious concern for the riding community.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Prescott

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident—as long as you are not more than fifty percent at fault. If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident in Prescott, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. Arizona imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, so it's crucial to act promptly.
