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.

    If you were involved in a BICYCLE ACCIDENT contact Sher Law group and take the following steps:
  • Contact help immediately if anyone was seriously injured and requires medical attention.
  • 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:
  • 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.

South and Bicycle Accidents

South, Arizona, sits in Cochise County in the southeastern portion of the state, positioned between Sierra Vista and the New Mexico border. This rural community sits along US Route 90, a major corridor that connects smaller towns throughout southeastern Arizona. The combination of open rural roads, limited traffic enforcement visibility, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing the road with cyclists creates unique hazards for bicycle riders in this region. Many South residents use bicycles for both recreation and transportation, yet the area's road infrastructure—including narrow shoulders and minimal bike lane designation—increases collision risk. Additionally, the proximity to larger communities like Sierra Vista means through-traffic from drivers focused on longer journeys rather than local safety concerns, making bicycle accidents a genuine concern for residents who depend on two-wheeled transportation.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in South

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims under comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the collision, as long as you were not more than fifty percent at fault. The state allows a two-year statute of limitations from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim, which sets a critical deadline for action. Recoverable damages in South bicycle accident cases include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage to your bicycle or gear. For South residents, Sher Law Group offers the advantage of statewide representation without requiring extensive travel; our Scottsdale office is readily accessible for case consultation and representation, and we handle all matters through the appropriate Cochise County court system when litigation becomes necessary.
