What Compensation Is Available After a Mesa Motorcycle Accident?
Compensation after a motorcycle accident may include economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Disability and disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
Catastrophic injuries are quite common in motorcycle accidents. Being struck by a vehicle will almost always eject a motorcyclist from their bike, potentially dragging them across the hard asphalt. This can lead to devastating head injuries, road rash, severe burns, broken bones, amputations, and paralysis.
You could be left facing lifelong medical treatment, lowered income, pain, disability, and disfigurement. When calculating your case value, we will include your lifetime monetary and emotional losses, which can be substantial.

Damages Available for Fatal Motorcycle Accidents
According to the Insurance Information Institute, motorcyclist fatalities have steadily risen over the past decade (6,218 in 2022 compared to 4,692 in 2013). If your loved one died in a motorcycle accident, our compassionate Mesa wrongful death lawyers can help you pursue economic and non-economic compensation for:
- Your loved one’s medical expenses
- Loss of your loved one’s income and services
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of love, companionship, and care
- Loss of parental guidance
- Mental anguish caused by the death
Arizona law allows juries to award wrongful damages they deem “just and fair,” allowing them to consider both “mitigating and aggravating circumstances.” To bring a wrongful death action under Arizona law, you must be a surviving spouse, parent, child, or estate representative of the decedent.
Can I Still Recover Damages If I Was Partially At Fault for the Accident?
Yes. Under Arizona’s comparative fault law, you can recover damages if you were partly or mostly at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault assigned to you.
Before you accept a finding of fault against you, let our knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorneys in Mesa evaluate your case. Through years of experience, we have found that motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed for accidents. We can clear you of blame belonging to the defendant and maximize your compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Motorcycle Accident Cases
The Arizona personal injury statute of limitations normally allows you to file a motorcycle accident claim for two years after the date of injury or death. Although filing a lawsuit may not seem like a priority when you are hurt, waiting to reach out to an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can be a mistake.
In addition to complying with the all-important filing deadline, you will need strong evidence to prove your claim. If you wait too long, critical evidence may be lost. We will waste no time gathering evidence. You can count on us to take care of the legal details while you focus on recovery.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
Once your case is filed, there is no limit to how long it may take to resolve. Depending on the complexity of the case, it may take as little as a few months or over a year.
To ensure the lifetime costs of your injuries are fully compensated, it is also important that you reach maximum medical improvement before settling your claim. This alone could take months, depending on the severity of your injuries.
Patience is key. While you focus on recovering, we will focus on building a strong claim. We are committed to helping you recover the highest compensation available as soon as possible. We can also help you avoid issues that could hurt your claim, such as:
- Inadequate documentation of your injuries and medical treatment.
- Improper service of the lawsuit on the defendant.
- Missing the statute of limitations.
Who Can I Sue After a Motorcycle Accident in Mesa?
Arizona is an at-fault insurance state, which allows you to immediately file an auto liability claim against the at-fault driver. You can also file a lawsuit against them and any other parties that contributed to your accident. In our experience, multiple parties are often responsible, including:
- Negligent drivers
- Vehicle owners
- Manufacturers of defective motorcycle parts
- Negligent mechanics
- Government entities that failed to maintain safe roads
- Trucking companies
- Employers
What About a No-Contact Motorcycle Accident?
A no-contact motorcycle accident occurs when you are injured on a motorcycle without being struck by another driver. This can occur when you lose control of your motorcycle while trying to evade a careless driver, maneuvering around unsafe road conditions, or after a tire blowout. Physical contact is not always necessary to prove another party’s liability for your accident.
Even so, no-contact motorcycle accident claims can be complex. For example, the responsible party may have left the scene unaware that they caused an accident. Even if you identify the culprit, proving a no-contact claim can be challenging without the assistance of a knowledgeable Mesa motorcycle accident attorney. We are here to help.
