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.

Coolidge and Bicycle Accidents

Coolidge, located in Pinal County between Phoenix and Casa Grande along US Route 87, has experienced steady growth as a rural-suburban community. The town's position along major corridors and its proximity to agricultural areas means increased truck traffic, farm equipment movement, and commuter vehicles passing through local roads. Bicycle riders in Coolidge face particular risks on roads like Arizona State Route 87 and surrounding county highways, where vehicle speeds are higher and driver awareness of cyclists may be lower than in more densely populated areas. The relatively flat terrain and warm climate encourage year-round cycling, yet many of these roads lack dedicated bike lanes or shoulders, forcing cyclists to share space with commercial vehicles and distracted drivers. When accidents occur in this setting, injuries tend to be severe because vehicles involved are often traveling at significant speeds with limited time to react.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Coolidge

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims under principles of comparative fault, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the crash, as long as you are less than 50% at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that should never be missed. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation costs. Coolidge residents are well-positioned to work with Sher Law Group, which handles bicycle accident cases throughout Arizona, including Pinal County.
