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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

Paradise and Bicycle Accidents

Paradise, Arizona, sits in Coconino County in the north-central region of the state, positioned along a landscape that transitions between rural terrain and growing residential communities. The town's proximity to Flagstaff and its elevation of approximately 7,000 feet create unique riding conditions that attract cyclists year-round, yet these same characteristics contribute to accident risks. Mountain roads with steep grades, variable weather conditions including sudden fog and precipitation, and increased vehicle traffic from tourists heading to northern Arizona attractions like the Grand Canyon mean Paradise residents and visitors face genuine hazards when cycling. Additionally, the rural character of many roads surrounding Paradise means less-developed shoulders, unclear road markings, and limited street lighting in certain areas—conditions that significantly increase the likelihood of collisions between bicycles and motor vehicles.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Paradise

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims through a comparative fault system, meaning you may recover damages even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident, provided you are less than fifty percent at fault. The state enforces a two-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims, giving you a limited window to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Paradise residents injured in bicycle accidents should understand that Arizona requires drivers to exercise reasonable care around cyclists, and violations of this duty can form the basis for a successful claim.
