At Harris Injury Law, we understand the unique risks bicyclists face when sharing Tucson’s public roadways with motor vehicles. With little protection, injured cyclists are far more likely to suffer severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and soft tissue injuries. Evidence of the responsible party’s negligence is required to establish liability in a bicycle accident case. Our Tucson personal injury lawyers are committed to helping injured cyclists and their families pursue accountability and fair compensation under Arizona law.
We proudly serve clients across Tucson and Pima County. Car accidents and truck accidents are commonly involved with cyclists due to size and speed differences, making it crucial to have experienced legal representation.
Not all law firms are the same. Bicycle accident cases often involve complex liability issues, insurance disputes, and serious injury claims. An experienced bicycle accident attorney can help you navigate the legal process and pursue a fair outcome. In Arizona, there is no limit on damages for personal injury and wrongful death claims related to bicycle accidents. At Harris Injury Law:
Our Tucson bicycle accident attorneys understand Arizona traffic laws and cyclist rights, including the requirement for motorists to leave at least three feet of space when passing a bike.
Bicyclists are considered vehicle operators in Arizona, and they must obey all traffic laws, including stopping at stop signs and traffic signals.
We investigate every angle of bicycle accident cases, including police reports, insurance information, eyewitness testimony, and medical records.
We consult with medical experts to demonstrate the full extent of your medical bills, medical costs, and long-term needs.
We offer contingency fee arrangements. Clients pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for them, though court costs and case expenses may still apply.

Cyclists face significant risks because drivers fail to follow traffic laws or respect bicyclists’ right of way. Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol contribute to bicycle accidents. The most common causes of Tucson bicycle accidents include:
Distracted driving by motor vehicle drivers
Speeding motorcycles on public roadways
Drivers failing to yield to bicycles in street lanes
Negligent drivers opening car doors into a cyclist’s path (“dooring”)
Reckless driving and drunk driving
Poorly marked bike lanes and unsafe intersections
These collisions can cause serious injury, road rash, back injuries, broken bones, and in tragic cases, wrongful death.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s 2022 Crash Facts Summary, Arizona recorded 1,159 bicycle crashes in 2022, resulting in 48 fatalities and 1,128 injuries statewide. Maricopa and Pima Counties accounted for roughly 83% of these bicycle crashes, highlighting the elevated risks in metro areas like Tucson.
In Pima County, which includes Tucson, there were 14 bicyclist fatalities in 2022, as reported by the Pima County Health Department.
With Tucson’s great weather, extensive street lanes, and cycling events such as El Tour de Tucson, the city attracts thousands of riders each year. Unfortunately, this also increases the risk of collisions with vehicles, negligent motorists, and other dangers on public roadways.
If you’ve been injured in a Tucson bicycle accident, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. Injured cyclists can seek compensation for initial and ongoing medical costs if they or their loved ones required medical assistance due to a bike accident. Injured cyclists can seek compensation for:
Medical bills and future medical expenses
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Physical pain and emotional suffering
Long-term care for brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or other serious injury
Wrongful death damages for a loved one killed in a crash
Even when injuries aren’t immediately obvious, it’s important to get medical care and consult a bicycle accident lawyer right away. Negligent motorists and their insurance companies often attempt to minimize claims, but accident victims have the right to pursue fair compensation. Personal injury claims have a two-year limit in Arizona, but exceptions may apply.
