Phoenix is a bustling metro with high traffic volumes and busy intersections. Unfortunately, this leads to a high number of motorcycle accidents each year. Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Phoenix include:
Distracted or texting drivers
Unsafe lane changes
Speeding or reckless driving
Failure to yield
Driving under the influence
Poor road conditions or construction zones
Unsafe lane changes by other vehicles frequently lead to motorcycle accidents, as they may not see the motorcycle in their blind spots
Collisions with another vehicle, often caused by the negligence of the other driver or other drivers, are a leading cause of accidents.
Accidents occur frequently at intersections, where the actions of other drivers and the involvement of another vehicle can make determining fault complex. Accident reconstruction specialists play a crucial role in analyzing how the accident occurred, especially in intersection and T-bone collisions.
Motorcycle accidents are a subset of broader traffic accidents and motor vehicle accidents, which include all types of crashes involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Phoenix motorcycle accidents are particularly common due to the city’s traffic patterns, and Arizona motorcycle accident claims often involve serious injuries and complex liability issues.
Understanding the causes of motorcycle accidents is critical in building a strong injury claim. Arizona is an at-fault state that uses comparative negligence to award damages in personal injury claims. Our experienced Phoenix motorcycle accident lawyers investigate each accident scene thoroughly to determine liability and pursue justice.
Wearing a helmet is one of the most important safety measures for motorcyclists. Arizona law requires riders under 18 to wear a helmet, and wearing a helmet significantly reduces the risk of severe head injuries in a motor vehicle accident. Not wearing a helmet can impact injury claims, but it does not automatically bar compensation under Arizona’s comparative fault laws.
Motorcycle crashes in Arizona are alarmingly frequent. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT):
In 2023, there were over 2,911 motorcycle accidents statewide
2,235 injuries and 204 fatalities resulted from those accidents
Maricopa County, including Phoenix, accounted for 1,744 motorcycle crashes, or roughly 60% of those crashes
Motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to die in a crash than car occupants. (NHTSA)
Common motorcycle accident injuries include broken bones, road rash, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injury. Serious injuries and severe injuries are frequent, and many victims suffer catastrophic injuries that can lead to long-term disabilities and emotional trauma. The injuries sustained in these crashes often result in significant personal injuries, requiring extensive medical care and ongoing support.
These numbers highlight the urgent need for strong legal advocacy for motorcycle crash victims. If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident in Phoenix, don’t face the system alone.
Under Arizona law, motorcycle accident victims have the right to pursue compensation for injuries and damages caused by another party’s negligence. However, it is important to note that motorcycle accident claims in Arizona are subject to a two-year statute of limitations from the date of injury. Filing a personal injury lawsuit promptly is crucial, as missing the deadline can bar you from recovering damages.
When pursuing a phoenix motorcycle accident claim, it is essential to review your motorcycle insurance and insurance coverage to understand your policy limits and available compensation. The process of a personal injury claim or motorcycle accident injury claim involves gathering evidence, such as medical records, to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and support your case. Collecting comprehensive medical records is a key step in building a strong motorcycle injury claim.
Medical bills and future medical expenses
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Property damage to your motorcycle
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Wrongful death (in fatal accidents)

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
