  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 Tucson, 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 Tucson?

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 Tucson 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.

What damages can I recover after a motorcycle accident in Tucson, Arizona?

Recoverable damages include medical bills, future care, lost wages, pain and suffering, motorcycle repair or replacement, and emotional distress.

What if the driver who hit me in Tucson does not have insurance?

Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Sher Law Group can help you pursue every available source of compensation.

Tucson and Motorcycle Accidents

Tucson, located in Pima County in southern Arizona approximately 120 miles south of Scottsdale, is home to nearly 550,000 residents and serves as a regional hub where urban and desert landscapes intersect. The city's major corridors—including Interstate 10, which runs east-west through Tucson, and Arizona State Route 77—experience heavy traffic volume, particularly during commute hours and tourist seasons. Motorcyclists in Tucson face unique hazards: the region's wide-open roads encourage higher speeds, while the convergence of local traffic, commercial vehicles, and travelers headed to Phoenix creates complex accident scenarios. Additionally, Tucson's warm climate means year-round riding conditions, increasing exposure risk. When accidents do occur on these busy routes or in residential areas, the injuries are often severe due to the lack of protective barriers that car occupants enjoy.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Tucson

Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident—though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. The state imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, so timely action is critical. You may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement. Tucson residents injured in motorcycle accidents should understand that handling an insurance claim alone often results in inadequate settlements, as insurers prioritize their own interests. Sher Law Group represents clients throughout Arizona, including Pima County and Tucson, and handles all aspects of your case from investigation through settlement or trial, ensuring your rights are protected regardless of where the accident occurred.
