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.

Buckeye and Bicycle Accidents

Buckeye, located in Yavapai County approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix, has experienced significant growth over the past two decades. This suburban community sits along Interstate 10 and is surrounded by major arterial roads including Litchfield Road and Watson Road, which serve as vital connectors to Phoenix and Scottsdale. As Buckeye's population has expanded, so too has vehicle traffic, creating challenging conditions for cyclists. The area's mix of residential developments, commercial corridors, and highway access means cyclists often share roads with increasingly heavy traffic volumes. Many Buckeye residents commute through the community or pass through en route to Phoenix, and distracted driving, failure to yield at intersections, and inadequate road infrastructure for bicycles have made bicycle accidents a growing concern. The combination of rapid development and high-speed thoroughfares means cyclists face real dangers when navigating local streets and highways.

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims under comparative fault principles, meaning you may still recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the collision, provided you are less than fifty percent at fault.
