  • 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 different angles and distances of the damage to your bicycle and the vehicle that hit you.

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.

Litchfield and Bicycle Accidents

Litchfield, located in western Maricopa County between Phoenix and Goodyear, has experienced significant suburban growth over the past two decades. Despite its rural character in some areas, the town sits near major corridors including Interstate 10 and Palm Valley Parkway, where increased traffic volume creates hazardous conditions for cyclists. The expanding population and ongoing infrastructure development mean more vehicles sharing roads with bicycle commuters and recreational riders. Litchfield's mix of newer subdivisions, agricultural land, and commercial zones creates unpredictable traffic patterns and distracted drivers unfamiliar with the area. Additionally, Arizona's intense heat and glare during peak sun hours reduce driver visibility, while some roads lack adequate bike lanes or shoulders. These local factors combine to make bicycle accidents in Litchfield more common than residents might expect, particularly along busy intersections and during commute hours.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Litchfield

Arizona law recognizes bicycle riders as having the same road rights as motor vehicle drivers, and injured cyclists can pursue compensation under comparative fault principles. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, making prompt action essential for preserving evidence and witness testimony. Arizona allows recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and other documented damages. If you were partially at fault, Arizona's comparative negligence rules mean you can still recover as long as you are less than 51 percent responsible. Litchfield residents should understand that claims involving accidents on state routes like I-10 or local roads involve specific jurisdictional considerations. Sher Law Group represents bicycle accident clients throughout Arizona, including Litchfield, and handles all aspects of your claim from investigation through settlement or trial.
