  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 Tolleson, 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 Tolleson?

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 Tolleson 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.

Tolleson and Motorcycle Accidents

Tolleson, located in Maricopa County just west of Phoenix, sits along a corridor of busy highways including Interstate 10 and US Route 85 that connect the valley's suburban communities. This strategic location, combined with Tolleson's mix of residential and commercial development, creates conditions where motorcycle accidents occur with troubling frequency. Riders traveling between Phoenix and Scottsdale, or commuting to employment centers across the region, often share roads with heavy traffic, commercial trucks, and drivers unfamiliar with motorcycle safety protocols. The warm Arizona climate means year-round riding season, extending the window during which accidents happen. Additionally, Tolleson's proximity to major employment and retail corridors means consistent traffic flow during peak hours, when distracted and aggressive driving increase collision risks for vulnerable motorcycle riders.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Tolleson

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through a comparative fault system that allows injured riders to recover damages even if they bear some responsibility for the collision, as long as they are less than 50% at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline governed by Arizona's statute of limitations that begins the moment your injury occurs. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage to your motorcycle.
