Motorcycle accidents are rarely minor. Unfortunately, personal injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents usually mean permanent and life-altering injuries, as well as sometimes fatal injuries. There can be a high price to pay for the motorcycle enthusiast who loves life and chooses to ride motorcycles for the feel of freedom on the road.

Motorcycle accidents are particularly high on Arizona highways because of the scenic routes that are available in our state. Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are the result of a collision with a car, where the automobile driver has been negligent.

Traumatic brain injury is the biggest danger when there is a motorcycle accident. While statistics show that riders have a 29 percent greater chance of surviving an accident with a helmet, helmets are not required under Arizona law. Many riders disagree with the safety of a helmet, arguing helmets hamper visibility.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, then you may be able to recover damages for your injuries, lost wages including overtime, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs. If the motorcycle accident has resulted in a loss of life, then there may be a wrongful death claim to be filed.
