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.

Sierra and Bicycle Accidents

Sierra is a small, rural community located in Graham County in southeastern Arizona, positioned between the larger towns of Safford and Thatcher in a region characterized by wide-open spaces and agricultural land. Despite its remote location roughly 150 miles from Phoenix, Sierra residents frequently travel on US Route 70, a major corridor that connects communities throughout Graham County and experiences significant truck and vehicle traffic. The combination of rural road conditions, limited street infrastructure, and increasing through-traffic creates genuine hazards for cyclists in the area. Many Sierra residents ride bicycles for recreation, commuting, or exercise along these regional highways and county roads, where visibility can be poor and driver awareness of cyclists may be limited. Accidents involving bicyclists on these roads often result in serious injuries because vehicles travel at highway speeds with little separation between motor traffic and bike lanes or shoulders—a reality that makes legal representation critical for injured riders seeking accountability.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Sierra

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims under a comparative fault standard, meaning you can still recover damages even if you shared partial responsibility for the accident, as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that passes quickly and requires prompt action. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability if applicable. For Sierra residents, Sher Law Group's statewide representation means you have direct access to experienced personal injury counsel without the burden of traveling to Scottsdale for initial consultations or case management. Your claim will be handled in the appropriate Graham County court system, and our team understands both the local road conditions and Arizona's specific bicycle safety laws, positioning us to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
