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.

Guadalupe and Bicycle Accidents

Guadalupe is a small, rural community located in Maricopa County, positioned between Phoenix and the Apache Junction area along Arizona State Route 87. Its proximity to major transportation corridors and the surrounding suburban sprawl creates unique hazards for cyclists. Many Guadalupe residents rely on bicycles for local transportation or recreation, yet the growing vehicle traffic through the area—combined with limited dedicated bike infrastructure—has made bicycle accidents increasingly common. The mix of agricultural land, residential developments, and through-traffic on State Route 87 means cyclists often share roads with commercial vehicles and commuters traveling at higher speeds. Additionally, seasonal tourism and weekend traffic from nearby recreational areas add unpredictability to road conditions. Sher Law Group has handled numerous bicycle accident claims from this region and understands the specific risks that Guadalupe cyclists face when sharing the road with larger vehicles.
