  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 Youngtown, 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 Youngtown?

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 Youngtown 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.

Youngtown and Motorcycle Accidents

Youngtown, located in Maricopa County northwest of Phoenix, sits along a network of highways that make it a natural corridor for motorcycle riders heading toward central Arizona. US Route 60 runs nearby, and the proximity to I-10 means Youngtown sees steady traffic from riders commuting between the Valley and outlying regions. The community's suburban character, combined with these major arterial roads, creates conditions where motorcycle accidents occur with troubling regularity. Riders often encounter distracted drivers, sudden lane changes, and vehicles that fail to see motorcycles in blind spots—particularly during rush hour when traffic from Phoenix and Scottsdale pushes through the area. Local intersections and highway on-ramps have been sites of serious collisions involving motorcycles, where the difference between a minor fender-bender and a life-altering injury is measured in fractions of a second.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Youngtown

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the crash, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit—a deadline known as the statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement.
