Motorcycle accidents in Peoria can lead to serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and long-term financial uncertainty. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are significantly more likely to suffer fatal or severe injuries than occupants in passenger vehicles. When a motorcycle crash occurs on major Peoria roads like Lake Pleasant Parkway, Thunderbird Road, Deer Valley Road, or Bell Road, riders often face overwhelming challenges navigating injury care, insurance issues, and legal questions.
At Harris Injury Law, we help injured motorcyclists understand their legal options under Arizona law, discuss options for seeking compensation, and navigate the insurance process. As a Peoria personal injury law firm, we investigate motorcycle accidents, gather evidence, and help explain the motorcycle accident claims process.
Many individuals contact us after a motorcycle accident because they feel overwhelmed by insurance companies, unexpected medical bills, or confusion about how to pursue a personal injury claim. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that riders are at higher risk due to lack of physical protection, which often results in serious injuries.
We understand how other drivers may deny fault, dispute witness statements, or attempt to shift blame onto the motorcycle operator. We gather police reports, analyze roadway conditions, and review available evidence to help clients understand options for seeking compensation permitted under Arizona law.
Attorney Jason A. Harris has experience handling accident cases involving motorcyclists throughout Maricopa County. His work includes cases involving traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal harm, and other common injuries frequently associated with motorcycle collisions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injuries. Jason has handled many motorcycle injury claims where helmet use, left turn crashes, heavy traffic conditions, or unsafe lane changes were key components of the case.
Jason provides clients with information about their rights, communicates with insurance companies, and helps address issues that may arise after a motorcycle crash.
Motorcyclists face unique risks on Peoria roads. The NHTSA and CDC Injury Center identify several of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents:
Unsafe lane changes
Left turn crashes
Distracted drivers
Sudden stops and stopped traffic
Speeding
Failure to yield
Lane splitting disputes
Heavy traffic on Loop 101
Poor visibility
Road debris or roadway defects
Even when riders wear helmets and follow the law, other drivers may overlook motorcycles due to size, speed perception, or blind-spot issues.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Crash Facts:
Arizona motorcycle accidents continue to result in a disproportionate rate of serious injuries and fatalities.
Riders face greater injury severity due to limited vehicle protection.
Maricopa County consistently reports some of the highest numbers of motorcycle accidents in the state.
These trends impact motorcyclists throughout Peoria, especially in high-traffic corridors like Thunderbird Road, 83rd Avenue, Deer Valley Road, and areas experiencing rapid population growth.
If you were involved in a Peoria motorcycle accident, you may have legal options to pursue a personal injury claim. The Arizona Legislature outlines the state’s comparative negligence rule, allowing injured individuals to seek compensation even if they share some responsibility.
Depending on the case, injured motorcyclists may seek to recover damages such as:
Medical bills
Lost wages and lost income
Physical pain
Emotional distress
Future care costs
Property damage
Long-term disability resulting from life changing injuries
If the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, uninsured motorist coverage may provide additional compensation according to Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions guidelines.
Arizona law allows bike accident victims to seek compensation if another party caused the crash through negligence. However, Arizona follows the principle of comparative fault, which reduces a cyclist’s compensation based on percentage of fault. After a bicycle accident in Phoenix, you may be eligible to recover:
Medical expenses (hospital bills, rehabilitation, medication)
Lost wages and future lost income
Pain and suffering
Emotional and psychological trauma
Property damage
Long-term care and therapy
The success of your personal injury claim often depends on the official police report, witness testimony, medical documentation, and the ability of your attorney to conduct a thorough investigation. A police report is essential in a bicycle accident case as it provides a detailed account of the incident from law enforcement. That’s where Harris Injury Law excels.
