Riding a bicycle on roads shared with motor vehicles can result in serious injuries to the cyclist if an accident occurs. A cyclist should always wear a helmet and reflective clothing to help minimize the risk of bicycle accidents.

    If you were involved in a BICYCLE ACCIDENT contact Sher Law group and 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.
  • Do not admit contributing to the cause of the accident or apologize to anyone involved.
  • Do not speak with the at fault parties insurance company or accept any offer until first contacting a personal injury attorney.
Take photos of the following:
  • Take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your bicycle and the vehicle that hit you.
  • Skid marks, or road conditions such as construction signs, etc.
  • Any bicycle gear that was 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 bicycle 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.

Bisbee and Bicycle Accidents

Nestled in Cochise County in southeastern Arizona, Bisbee is a historic mining town located roughly 90 miles southeast of Phoenix and approximately 100 miles from Scottsdale. The town's rugged terrain, winding mountain roads, and scenic pathways make it an attractive destination for cyclists seeking outdoor recreation. However, this same landscape presents unique hazards for bicycle riders. State Route 80, which passes near Bisbee and connects to Highway 191, carries considerable through-traffic that often moves at speeds incompatible with safe bicycle travel. Additionally, Bisbee's narrow, hilly streets—many dating back to its mining era—lack dedicated bike lanes and modern road infrastructure. Local drivers unfamiliar with the area may not anticipate cyclists around tight corners or steep descents, and tourists exploring Bisbee's quirky downtown and historic neighborhoods sometimes fail to notice bicycle riders sharing the roadway. These conditions create a perfect storm for serious bicycle accidents involving both local residents and visitors.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Bisbee

Arizona law holds drivers accountable for injuries caused to cyclists through negligence, and Cochise County courts apply comparative fault principles, meaning your recovery is reduced only by the percentage of fault assigned to you—not eliminated entirely even if you bear some responsibility. Arizona's statute of limitations provides a two-year window to file a bicycle accident claim, a deadline that applies regardless of where you live or where your accident occurred. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. For Bisbee residents, Sher Law Group offers the advantage of comprehensive statewide representation without requiring you to travel to our Scottsdale office unless necessary. We handle all aspects of your case—from communicating with insurance companies to litigating in Cochise County Superior Court—so you can focus on healing rather than legal complications.
