Phoenix Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Our Arizona Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help

Out of the approximately 200,000 motorcycles registered in Arizona, almost 3,000 of them were involved in crashes in 2015. Unlike the 5 million plus passenger vehicles registered in the state, these motorcyclists don’t have the same metal frame, roof, or airbags protecting them during a crash, leaving them more vulnerable to serious injuries or even death.

According to data collected by the Arizona Department of Transportation, more than 80 percent of motorcyclists involved in motorcycle crashes suffered some sort of injury, compared to less than 32 of drivers and passengers involved in passenger car crashes.

Who Was At Fault?

Far too many motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers who fail to account for other types of vehicles sharing the road with them. In these car crashes, the driver of the passenger vehicle has a sturdy metal frame and airbags to keep them safe, but the motorcyclist‘s body is only protected by the clothes on their back.

One of the keys to any motorcycle accident case is proving that the other party was at fault, so it’s vital to take down as much information as you can at the scene and to get yourself medical attention as soon as possible both to ensure your safety and to have accurate documentation of the injuries caused by the accident. Because damages are often significantly higher in motorcycle accidents, another key is making sure to evaluate any and all insurance policies that may be available to cover a rider’s loss.
