Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Scottsdale

Despite Scottsdale’s reputation for bike-friendly communities and designated bike lanes, cyclists remain vulnerable. Our firm commonly handles cases involving:

  • Distracted driving – motorists texting or using GPS.

  • Failure to follow traffic laws – including not yielding to cyclists who follow the same rules as motor vehicles.

  • Negligent drivers – speeding, running stop signs, or reckless lane changes.

  • Dooring accidents – when a driver opens a car door into a cyclist’s path.

  • Unsafe road conditions – poor signage, lack of protective gear awareness, or inadequate bike lanes.

  • Drunk or impaired drivers – violating Arizona law and endangering everyone.

Using proper safety gear, such as helmets, reflective clothing, and lights, can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident.

No matter how your bike accident occurred, our Scottsdale bicycle accident attorneys will investigate thoroughly to hold the at fault party accountable.

Scottsdale Bicycle Accident Statistics

Bicycle crashes are a growing concern in Arizona, including Scottsdale:

  • In 2022, Arizona recorded 1,056 bicycle crashes, with 45 fatalities and more than 800 injured bicyclists (Arizona Department of Transportation).

  • Maricopa County, which includes Scottsdale, accounted for the majority of these incidents, highlighting the risks cyclists face in urban areas.

  • Nationwide, NHTSA reports that bicyclists account for 2% of all traffic fatalities, with most crashes involving motor vehicles (NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts).

Head injuries are one of the most serious injuries a cyclist can suffer in a bicycle accident.

These numbers show the urgent need for strong advocacy when bicycle accident injuries occur in Scottsdale.

Understanding Your Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Scottsdale

If you’re the injured party in a Scottsdale bicycle accident, it’s critical to know your rights under Arizona law: The statute of limitations in Arizona for filing a bike accident claim is two years from the date of the accident.

  1. Seek medical attention immediately. Delays can harm both your health and your case.

  2. Cyclists have the same rules and rights as drivers of motor vehicles.

  3. You may file a bicycle accident claim against the at fault party.

  4. You can recover both economic damages (like medical expenses, lost wages, and physical therapy) and non-economic damages (like emotional distress).

  5. Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts, don’t sign anything without legal guidance.

Our firm will help you gather evidence from the accident scene, including witness statements, police reports, and medical records, to strengthen your case. Collecting evidence is vital in proving liability in a bicycle accident.
