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

  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property Damage

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.

Star and Bicycle Accidents

Star, Arizona, located in Maricopa County northwest of Phoenix, is a growing rural-suburban community characterized by wide-open spaces, agricultural land, and increasingly busy roadways connecting residents to Scottsdale and central Phoenix. State Route 303 and Litchfield Road serve as major transportation corridors through and around Star, bringing commuter traffic that often moves at high speeds through areas where cyclists may be sharing the road. The combination of expanding suburban development, ranch properties with long driveways, and heavy through-traffic creates specific hazards for bicycle riders in Star. Drivers unfamiliar with the area sometimes fail to anticipate cyclists on these expanding corridors, while limited shoulder space and inconsistent road infrastructure make Star cyclists particularly vulnerable to serious collisions. When a bicyclist is struck by a car in this community, the injuries are often severe due to the speeds involved on these regional highways and roads.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Star

Arizona law protects bicycle accident victims through comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the crash, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault.

Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing care costs.
