Phoenix Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Have you been involved in a motorcycle accident? Don’t let the party responsible get away scot-free.

You can count on us to fight for your right to the highest possible compensation related to your case. Let’s schedule your case evaluation before your statute of limitations expires.

Working With Insurance Providers After a Motorcycle Accident

The first thing you should do after a motorcycle accident is contact your insurance provider. Arizona requires that its motorcyclists maintain the state’s minimum liability coverage, meaning that you should have the means to file a claim with your provider. 

You can work with an insurance claims adjuster to discuss the value of your accident and what protection you receive through your plan. That said, be wary of the first quote that a provider offers you. Most providers will try to undervalue your initial claim in an effort to protect their own bottom line.

You, however, can request that a Phoenix, AZ, motorcycle accident attorney oversee your efforts to communicate with your insurance provider. If you want to challenge an initial claim or even appeal a denied claim, you can request that our team step in and do so on your behalf.

Taking a Motorcycle Accident Claim to Civil Court

There are certain conditions under which the state of Arizona allows you to pursue a personal injury claim against either the party liable for your motorcycle accident or an insurance company that wrongfully denied you the compensation you need to recover from your losses. If you want to target either party, you need to bring forward evidence elaborating on your claim to support.

The evidence you bring forward can include the following:

• Video footage of the negligence that led to your accident
• Photos of your accident and its related losses
• Statements from bystanders regarding the nature of your accident
• Input from expert witnesses elaborating on your right to a civil case
• Black box data, if applicable

You need to bring all of this data to a civil judge’s attention before your statute of limitations expires. Arizona’s statute of limitations, Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-542, gives you no more than two years to act on your losses. If you can’t bring a claim forward within those two years, you may waive your right to damages won through the civil court system.

Assigning Liability for Motorcycle Accident Losses

Your right to hold a particular party liable for a motorcycle accident depends on what evidence of negligence you have tying that party to your crash. In some cases, you can lay the blame for your accident on a negligent motorist, truck driver, or pedestrian. In other cases, a construction crew’s failure to abide by state laws might make them responsible for your losses.

If your motorcycle breaks down on the road and contributes to an accident, you may even have the right to blame the motorcycle’s manufacturer or mechanic for your accident. 

Our team can look into the nature of your accident and identify the primary cause. After that, we can work to bring forward the evidence needed to hold a particular party economically responsible for your recovery.

Demanding Motorcycle Accident Damages

What compensation can you specifically request after a motorcycle crash? That depends on the nature of your accident. You must have the ability to prove the nature of your losses and those losses’ value if you want to include them in your personal injury claim. Fortunately, our motorcycle accident attorneys in Phoenix can make these connections for you.

Arizona makes it easy for you to break your possible damages down into two categories. The first of these contains your economic losses. If you can prove via a paper trail that certain losses stemmed from your motorcycle accident, you can demand that a liable party compensate you for said losses. A motorcycle accident’s losses might include the following:

• Your post-accident medical care, including the cost of emergency healthcare services
• The cost of repairing, replacing, or restoring property damaged in your crash
• Lost wages or lost opportunities for employment after your accident

You also have the right to argue for non-economic motorcycle accident losses. These losses include your post-accident pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress. Our team can look at state precedents and related statutes to determine the economic value of these losses.

Choosing How You Pursue Compensation for Your Losses

You don’t necessarily have to go to civil court if you want to demand damages for your motorcycle crash. You can request that an attorney arrange private personal injury negotiations on your behalf. These negotiations work best when the party responsible for your accident acknowledges that responsibility.

You can ask a Phoenix motorcycle crash attorney whether you should take your case to civil court or private negotiations during your first free case consultation.
