  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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Verde, Arizona?

Seek medical attention, call the police, document the scene, collect witness information, and do not speak with the other driver’s insurer before consulting a motorcycle accident attorney.

The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims is generally two years from the date of the crash.

Can I recover compensation if I was not wearing a helmet during my Verde motorcycle accident?

Arizona does not require helmets for riders over 18, so not wearing one generally does not bar your recovery. An attorney can address any comparative fault arguments raised by the defense.

Verde and Motorcycle Accidents

Located in Yavapai County roughly 40 miles north of Phoenix, Verde sits in a region where rural charm meets increasing traffic flow. The community's proximity to Interstate 17 and State Route 260 creates a steady stream of through-traffic, and the scenic highways that draw motorcycle enthusiasts from across Arizona converge near this area. Riders are attracted to Verde's mountain roads and the winding terrain surrounding the Verde Valley, but these same qualities that make the roads appealing also create hazards. Limited sight lines, elevation changes, and roads designed before modern traffic volumes present real dangers. When combined with distracted drivers, speeding, or riders unfamiliar with local road conditions, serious motorcycle accidents occur with tragic frequency in and around Verde.

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Verde

Under Arizona law, motorcycle accident victims have the right to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability if applicable. Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover compensation even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, so time is critical. Verde residents can access Sher Law Group's services statewide without the burden of lengthy travel to our Scottsdale office, and our team handles cases throughout Yavapai County and beyond. Understanding which court has jurisdiction and ensuring proper notice to insurance companies requires immediate attention, making early consultation with an experienced attorney essential to protecting your rights.
