  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.

Safford and Motorcycle Accidents

Safford, nestled in Graham County in southeastern Arizona, sits along the historic US Route 70 corridor—a major east-west thoroughfare that connects the Phoenix metropolitan area to New Mexico. With a population of around 16,000, Safford maintains a rural character while serving as a regional hub for the surrounding agricultural communities. The proximity to US 70, combined with winding local roads that connect Safford to nearby towns like Thatcher and Duncan, creates conditions where motorcycle accidents occur with troubling regularity. Riders traveling through the area often encounter unexpected curves, agricultural equipment crossing roadways, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing roads with motorcyclists. Additionally, the high desert terrain and seasonal weather patterns can reduce visibility and road grip, particularly during monsoon season. These local factors mean Safford residents who ride motorcycles face genuine, location-specific risks that demand experienced legal representation when accidents happen.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Safford

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for your accident—as long as you are not more than fifty percent at fault. Under Arizona law, you have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, making it critical to act promptly and preserve evidence. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in severe cases, punitive damages. Graham County courts handle motorcycle accident claims arising in Safford, and while our Scottsdale office is approximately two hours away, Sher Law Group represents injured motorcyclists throughout Arizona, meaning distance is never a barrier to receiving exceptional legal counsel.
