  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.

Sedona and Motorcycle Accidents

Nestled in Yavapai County in central Arizona, Sedona sits approximately 30 miles north of Phoenix and Scottsdale, surrounded by stunning red rock formations and popular tourist destinations. The town's elevation, scenic highways, and winding roads—particularly Arizona State Route 89A and US Route 89—attract motorcycle enthusiasts year-round seeking thrilling rides through dramatic canyons. However, these same characteristics that make Sedona appealing to riders create significant hazards. The region's elevation changes, sharp curves, seasonal weather conditions, and heavy tourist traffic combine to create dangerous riding conditions. Many accidents occur when riders underestimate the technical difficulty of Sedona's roads or when tourist traffic unexpectedly slows. Additionally, visiting riders unfamiliar with local road conditions often misjudge curves and sight lines, leading to serious collisions. The influx of out-of-state visitors and seasonal fluctuations in traffic volume further increase accident risk on Sedona's major corridors.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Sedona

Arizona recognizes comparative negligence in motorcycle accident cases, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you're not more than 50 percent responsible for the collision. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and disfigurement. Arizona law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, and your claim may be pursued against the at-fault driver's policy.
