Sierra Vista Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

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 Sierra, Arizona?

Sierra and Motorcycle Accidents

Sierra is a small, rural community located in Graham County in southeastern Arizona, positioned between the towns of Safford and the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Its remote location along State Route 70 and proximity to unpaved desert roads create unique hazards for motorcyclists traveling through the region. The winding terrain, variable road conditions, and sparse traffic patterns that characterize Sierra's landscape can lull riders into a false sense of security—particularly tourists passing through on their way to Phoenix or Scottsdale. However, the combination of tight curves, sudden elevation changes, and occasional debris on roadways makes motorcycle accidents in Sierra particularly severe. When accidents occur in this rural setting, immediate access to specialized legal representation becomes critical, as witnesses disperse quickly and evidence can be compromised by weather and time.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Sierra

Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover damages even if you're partially responsible for your accident, as long as you're not more than 50% at fault. You have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability—all critical for riders facing long-term injuries. Sierra residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation; we handle cases throughout Arizona, including Graham County and the surrounding regions. Our Scottsdale office is easily accessible via State Route 70, and we manage all court filings and negotiations on your behalf, ensuring your case receives the attention it deserves regardless of your distance from our main office.
