At Sartipi Law, we understand the unique challenges that injured motorcycle riders face after an accident. Insurance companies and drivers are often all too eager to blame the motorcyclist, even when there is no evidence to indicate fault.

Our team of experienced Arizona motorcycle accident attorneys is dedicated to helping you obtain the compensation you deserve for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We are committed to providing compassionate and personalized legal representation to every client we serve. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, we are here to help.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

If you were riding a motorcycle and were hit by another vehicle, it is important to know that the fault may not be with you. In fact, many motorcycle accidents in Arizona are caused by other drivers on the road who fail to take proper precautions around motorcycles.

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, eating, or otherwise distracted while behind the wheel may not see a motorcycle until it is too late to avoid a collision. Distracted driving is especially dangerous at intersections.
  • Failure to Yield: Many car and truck drivers fail to yield the right of way to motorcycles when turning or changing lanes. They often do not “see” motorcycles because they are smaller than the average vehicle.
  • Following Too Closely: When drivers follow motorcycles too closely, they put themselves and the motorcyclist at risk. If a motorcycle must stop suddenly, there may not be enough time for a driver following too closely to react in time.

Establishing Fault in Motorcycle Accidents

Proving liability in a motorcycle accident can be a complex process, but it is essential if you want to pursue compensation for your injuries and damages. Our Arizona motorcycle accident lawyers at Sartipi Law can thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident to determine who was at fault. This may involve gathering evidence such as witness statements, police reports, and video footage of the accident. We may also work with accident reconstruction experts to help us understand how the accident happened.

Steps that can help establish fault and prove liability can include:

  • Gathering evidence: Collect as much information about the accident as possible, including witness statements, police reports, and photos of the scene.
  • Documenting injuries: Keep detailed records of any injuries sustained in the motorcycle accident, including medical bills, doctor's notes, and receipts for medication.
  • Hiring an attorney: A skilled motorcycle accident attorney can conduct an investigation and gather evidence to support your claim.
  • Seeing a doctor: You should go to the doctor after a motorcycle accident, even if you feel fine. The doctor can check for injuries and update your medical record, which helps validate the extent and cause of your injuries.

Seeking Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident

You may be entitled to compensation if you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Arizona. What compensation should be paid to you by the defendant? The answer depends on the losses you have suffered due to the accident and how liability for those losses is determined.

Compensation that could be available to you includes:

  • Medical Expenses: The cost of medical treatment related to your injuries, including hospital bills, doctor's fees, and prescription medication.
  • Lost Wages: If you are unable to work due to your injuries, you may be able to recover lost wages for the time you missed work.
  • Property Damage: If your motorcycle was damaged in the accident, you may be able to recover the cost of repairs or replacement.
  • Pain and Suffering: This type of compensation is intended to compensate you for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: If a loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for their loss. A survival action might also be permitted under Arizona law.

Do You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

Every motorcycle accident is serious. But is every accident serious enough to require the help of a professional motorcycle accident lawyer?

Typically, you should hire an Arizona motorcycle accident lawyer if:

  • Your Injuries are Serious: If you have suffered serious injuries in the accident, such as broken bones or head trauma, you may require extensive medical treatment and ongoing care. An attorney can help you fight for the compensation needed to cover these expenses.
  • Liability is Disputed: If there is disagreement about who was at fault for the accident, an attorney can investigate the incident and gather evidence to prove liability.
  • Insurance Company Denies Your Claim: If the insurance company refuses to pay your claim or offers a settlement that does not fully compensate you for your losses, an attorney can negotiate on your behalf or take legal action.

A motorcycle accident lawyer can be extremely helpful in many different situations. If you’re not sure if you need a lawyer or just have questions, then you shouldn’t hesitate to contact Sartipi Law in Arizona.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Filing a personal injury lawsuit means you are taking legal action against an individual, business, or entity that caused your injury. This type of civil claim can involve either mediation or litigation. Mediation involves negotiating a settlement, while litigation involves a judge and typically takes longer. Personal injury lawsuits can address both physical and mental harm caused by another party. Your attorney will seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages related to your pain and suffering.

During mediation, you might receive a structured settlement, which provides periodic payments. However, a lump sum payment is often more beneficial as it offers the entire compensation amount at once. Consulting a skilled attorney is essential to ensure you receive the best possible outcome and fair treatment.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, consulting an attorney is crucial. An experienced personal injury attorney can help determine if you have a case and guide you on the next steps. Situations where you might need to file a lawsuit include:

  • The responsible party lacks adequate insurance.
  • Difficulty getting insurance to cover medical expenses.
  • The responsible party has no insurance.
  • Pressure to accept an unfair settlement.
  • Uncertainty about your rights after the accident.
  • Ongoing medical attention needed for injuries.
  • Severe injuries preventing self-advocacy.
  • Extended work absence due to injuries.

 

A strong personal injury lawsuit requires honesty and thorough documentation. Here are key steps:

  1. Be Honest with Your Attorney: Full transparency ensures your case remains strong.
  2. Document Everything: Record details of the accident, medical treatments, and impacts on your life.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, some injuries are not immediately apparent. Continuous medical evaluation is critical.
  4. Gather Evidence: Photographs of the accident scene and injuries can be compelling evidence.
  5. Act Quickly: Contact an attorney promptly, file your case, gather witness statements, and secure all necessary documentation to avoid losing critical details and witnesses.

 

It’s important to understand that the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is typically two years or less and varies by case. After filing, both parties engage in discovery, sharing and reviewing information. Most lawsuits are settled during this phase. If you win, you receive damages covering medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs resulting from the accident. The final judgment is binding, meaning it is the total amount you can recover from the responsible party.

Personal injury compensation aims to recover your losses due to the injury. You may be eligible for:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent injury or disability
  • Emotional trauma
  • Special equipment for your injury
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Wrongful death damages
  • And more
