  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 Wickenburg, 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.

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 Wickenburg 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.

Wickenburg and Motorcycle Accidents

Wickenburg, located in Maricopa County approximately 50 miles northwest of Phoenix, sits at the intersection of Arizona State Route 60 and U.S. Route 89, two heavily trafficked corridors that connect rural communities to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The town's character blends small-town charm with increasing commuter traffic, as residents regularly travel to Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding areas for work and commerce. These major highways passing through and around Wickenburg create ideal conditions for motorcycle accidents, particularly during peak travel hours when drivers navigate curves, elevation changes, and shifting weather patterns common to the high desert region. Rural stretches of highway combined with seasonal tourism traffic—especially during winter months when riders from colder states visit Arizona's motorcycle-friendly roads—contribute to the frequency of serious two-wheeled collisions. Motorcyclists traveling these routes face unique hazards: poor road visibility on winding sections, debris commonly found on rural highways, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing lanes with smaller vehicles. Understanding these local accident patterns is crucial for riders and their families when seeking legal representation.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Wickenburg

Arizona recognizes the principle of comparative fault, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for your accident—as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. The state imposes a two-year statute of limitations on motorcycle injury claims, so immediate action matters. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in serious cases, permanent disability or disfigurement. Wickenburg residents injured on local highways have full access to Arizona's court system, with cases typically handled through Maricopa County courts. Sher Law Group represents injured motorcyclists throughout Arizona, including Wickenburg and surrounding areas, eliminating any distance-related barriers to quality legal representation. Our team understands the specific challenges motorcycle accident victims face, from insurance company skepticism to the severity of injuries common in these collisions.
