How Can An Arizona Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help Me?
A knowledgeable attorney can be an invaluable ally when seeking compensation after an Arizona motorcycle accident. Your lawyer can handle every aspect of your claim for you, allowing you to focus on recovering from your injuries.
Your attorney will start by investigating the circumstances of the accident and gathering evidence to help determine liability. This includes identifying all parties involved, reviewing police reports and medical records, and taking witness statements. They will also speak to experts and obtain testimony if necessary.
Once your lawyer is confident they’ve built a strong case, they will negotiate with insurance companies and attempt to reach a fair settlement. If you share any blame for the accident, your attorney will factor Arizona’s contributory negligence laws into damage estimates. If the insurers refuse to pay you what you deserve, your attorney will take legal action to ensure you’re fully compensated for your injuries.
The Arizona personal injury statute of limitations is normally two years after the date of the accident, so don’t wait—the sooner you seek legal help, the easier it is to gather crucial evidence and build a strong case. If you miss the two-year deadline, you might lose out on your chance to recover compensation for your injuries.
What Damages Can I Seek After an Arizona Motorcycle Accident?
Arizona motorcycle accident victims can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages compensate for tangible monetary losses, including:
- Medical expenses, including future care
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Property damage
- Other out-of-pocket expenses
Non-economic damages compensate for the more subjective impact of an accident on your life, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
If the victim passes away from their injuries, their family or estate can pursue additional damages for funeral expenses, grief, loss of support or companionship, and more through a wrongful death claim.

Understanding Arizona’s Motorcycle Laws
Though Arizona motorcycle riders are subject to the same traffic and driving laws as everyone else, they must also hold a specialized motorcycle license. If you fail to abide by Arizona’s motorcycle laws, you might share liability for your injuries following an accident, which can shrink any potential award due to the state’s comparative negligence laws.
Though motorcycle helmets are not legally required for riders over 18 years old, all motorcyclists should wear one. Doing so significantly raises your chances of survival in the event of an accident. It’s also legal in Arizona to pass between stopped vehicles (“filter”) while riding a motorcycle on certain roads. If a driver causes you to crash while passing through stopped traffic, such as by suddenly opening a door, they might be liable for your injuries.
