In 2019, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported 2,676 motorcycle collisions. Common motorcycle injuries include road rash, broken bones, nerve damage, head injuries, neck injuries, and spinal injuries. Motorcycle collisions often result in a higher likelihood of severe injuries because a motorcycle lacks the protections of a vehicle and differs vastly in weight with the vehicle causing the crash.
If you were involved in a MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT it is important to 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.
Take photos of the following:
- Vehicles involved - take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your vehicle and the vehicle that hit you.
- Skid marks, or road conditions such as construction signs, etc.
- Any items in your vehicle that were 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 motorcycle 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.

Motorcycle Accidents on Glendale's Busiest Roads
Glendale's rapid growth and heavy traffic corridors make it one of the more dangerous cities in the West Valley for motorcyclists. High-volume roads like Bell Road, Glendale Avenue, and the Loop 101 near Westgate Entertainment District see constant congestion, aggressive lane changes, and distracted drivers — conditions that routinely put riders at serious risk. Intersections along 59th Avenue and Camelback Road are particularly hazardous, where impatient drivers often fail to yield to oncoming motorcycles. Whether you were struck near State Farm Stadium or cut off on the I-17 interchange, the consequences of a motorcycle crash in Glendale can be devastating.
Glendale motorcycle accident victims face a legal process that rewards those who act quickly and work with attorneys who understand local dynamics. Cases involving Glendale riders are typically filed in Maricopa County Superior Court or Glendale City Court depending on the damages involved, and navigating these venues requires familiarity with local procedures and judicial expectations. Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning insurers will aggressively argue that you — as a motorcyclist — share blame for the crash. Local insurance adjusters routinely use rider bias to minimize payouts, making it critical to have an advocate in your corner from the very start.
