  2. Motorcycle Accidents

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.

Heber-Overgaard and Motorcycle Accidents

Heber-Overgaard sits in Navajo County at roughly 5,300 feet elevation along Arizona State Route 260, a scenic but challenging mountain corridor connecting the rim country to the Phoenix Valley. This rural community of approximately 2,500 residents attracts motorcyclists year-round, drawn by the cooler climate and winding roads that challenge riders seeking escape from the Phoenix metro area just two hours south. The same characteristics that make these routes appealing—tight curves, elevation changes, forested terrain, and variable road conditions—create genuine hazards for motorcycle operators. Seasonal weather, including sudden rain and occasional snow, compounds risks on State Route 260 and surrounding roads. Local accidents frequently involve riders from outside the area unfamiliar with the terrain, as well as vehicles failing to anticipate motorcycles on narrow mountain passages. Understanding how Heber-Overgaard's unique geography contributes to accident risk is essential when pursuing injury claims.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Heber-Overgaard

Arizona law protects motorcycle accident victims through comparative fault rules, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you are not more than fifty percent responsible. You have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, so immediate action is critical. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability if applicable. Heber-Overgaard residents dealing with accidents on State Route 260 or local roads fall under Navajo County jurisdiction, though Sher Law Group handles motorcycle cases throughout Arizona, including Coconino and Gila counties that border the area. Our Scottsdale office manages statewide representation, ensuring you receive experienced advocacy regardless of where your accident occurred in northern Arizona.
