Arizona Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Motorcycle accidents are frequent and dangerous events on the roadways of Arizona, and understanding the legal issues involved can be complex. Breyer Law Offices have been representing the victims of such accidents for over 15 years, and in that time we have heard a number of common questions from clients and their families alike. If you have come online in search of substantive information about motorcycle accidents, this article is for you. It addresses some of the most frequent concerns in the wake of any Phoenix motorcycle accident, including:

What should I do after an Arizona motorcycle accident?

This is a crucial moment in the timeline of your case. Priority one is to seek medical care, of course, especially if your injuries might be subtle or hard to detect. If you are able, however, you also want to collect important information from the scene. This can include anything from the other drivers' information to specific observations about time, place, road conditions, and any obstacles that may have played a role. In the days ahead, you will also want to be assiduous about assembling documentation from other sources, including police reports, medical records, and any correspondence that occurs with insurance carriers.

What kind of expenses can I recover?

If you choose to pursue an Arizona motorcycle lawsuit, it is important to go in with your eyes open about what kind of damages you can seek. Arizona offers a number of ways to recover what you deserve, and a well-fought lawsuit may result in damages for medical care, loss of income, and pain and suffering. One or all of these can easily stretch into six figures and beyond depending on the circumstances of that accident and the state of your injuries. But it starts by retaining an effective Phoenix Arizona motorcycle accident attorney.

How much will it cost?

Most Arizona personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means they do not charge anything unless you win money for your injuries. In other words, there is literally no way to come out of that relationship having lost money - either the case does not prevail, in which case your attorney's services are free, or you win a settlement, in which case the attorney's fees are taken out of that settlement.

Who can be held liable for injuries or property damage resulting from a motorcycle accident in an Arizona city like Chandler?

Anyone operating a vehicle that was involved in the accident could possibly be held liable. In addition, insurance companies, pedestrians, or public entities responsible for maintaining roadways in Arizona could also possibly be held liable.

If a car, truck, or other motorcycle drives my bike off the road and then flees, can I file a personal injury claim?

Yes, this would be considered a hit and run accident. In such cases, you have to file a claim through your motorcycle insurance company in order to receive compensation for medical care and related accident expenses. In some cases, you can even file an Arizona motorcycle accident claim if a family member has the right coverage or even with your car insurance policy company.

Do I need an expert to testify in a motorcycle liability case?

Well, it depends. In motorcycle accident cases that are straightforward and liability is not contested, you may not need an expert. However, in more complicated cases, like those that may involve a potential manufacturing liability, you may require a forensic investigator to evaluate the evidence and provide expert testimony at the trial.

If I don't have motorcycle insurance, can I still make a personal injury claim?

Yes. Even if you don't have insurance, that doesn't mean you lose your right to hold a negligent party accountable for injuries you suffered
