  • Call the police, ask the officer to provide you with an accident exchange form.

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.

Pima and Bicycle Accidents

Pima, located in Pima County about 50 miles south of Scottsdale in rural southern Arizona, sits in a region where outdoor recreation and agricultural activity are central to daily life. The town's proximity to highways like Arizona State Route 86 and its position along rural roads connecting to Tucson create unique traffic patterns that put cyclists at risk. Unlike densely populated urban areas, Pima's scattered development means longer stretches of open road where drivers may underestimate cyclist presence, and reduced visibility during dawn and dusk rides common in the region's cooler months. The area's popularity with recreational cyclists exploring the Sonoran Desert landscape, combined with the prevalence of agricultural and commercial vehicles, creates a collision risk that residents must take seriously. Bicycle accidents in this rural setting often result in severe injuries precisely because speeds are higher and emergency response times longer than in metropolitan areas.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Pima

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims under comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you're less than 50% responsible. The state's two-year statute of limitations gives you a critical window to file a claim—time that matters when gathering evidence and medical records. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation costs. For Pima residents, this means working with an attorney experienced in both rural accident dynamics and Arizona's specific liability standards. Sher Law Group handles cases throughout Pima County and statewide, bringing Scottsdale-based expertise directly to your case without requiring you to travel to a distant office, making the legal process more accessible during your recovery.
