Being involved in a motorcycle accident can have long-term consequences for the biker and their family. If you or a loved one were injured in a motorcycle collision because of the negligence of another driver, the careless driver should be held accountable. A Mesa, Arizona motorcycle accident lawyer could help you navigate your motorcycle accident case and the legal process with insurance companies after a crash.
Elmm Law Group works exclusively with individuals pursuing personal injury cases. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping those who have been injured in a motorcycle accident recover the compensation, such as lost wages, that they deserve from insurance companies. We can help you with your motorcycle accident claim by reviewing police reports and property damage reports.
Accident victims can mitigate some risks of being in a motorcycle collision by following the rules of the road, but they cannot control the actions of others. As a result, motorcycle accidents are often caused by the negligence of other drivers.
An accident may occur because the other driver was distracted. Whether the driver was texting, changing the radio station, or not focusing on the road for another reason, distracted driving is dangerous and can cause serious injury.
A head-on collision where the driver of the car did not see the motorcycle is another common type of motorcycle accident.
The biker may be in the blind spot at an intersection with a driver, who may initiate a lane change after only a quick look, causing an accident because they did not see the motorcyclist.
Accidents can also occur when a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The impaired driver’s reaction time may be greatly reduced, making it harder to navigate the roadways safely. This can pose a substantial risk for a motorcyclist, whom the impaired driver may not see in time.
A knowledgeable lawyer can help protect your legal rights after a motorcycle accident in Mesa.
Just like a car accident victim, a motorcyclist accident victim could sustain several different types of injuries after a collision. Many victims of motorcycle crashes hit their heads in some fashion, resulting in concussions or lifelong brain injuries. A biker accident victim will often be thrown from their motorcycle in an accident, hitting the ground with great force. When this occurs, spinal cord injuries may result. Road rash typically occurs from the accident, the severity of which can vary from small cuts and scrapes to deep wounds that cut through several layers of skin. Broken bones and traumatic brain injury are often associated with motorcycle crashes as well. If you have lost a loved one due to a motorcycle accident, a Mesa Arizona injury attorney can help with a wrongful death case.
A caring Mesa motorcycle accident attorney will evaluate all of the facts of your case and the injuries you sustained when helping file a legal claim. We will provide legal support and determine whether you have a strong case to move forward.
If a motorcycle accident was caused by the negligence of another driver, the injured biker should file an injury claim to be compensated for injuries, medical bills, and medical treatment sustained. A proactive lawyer in Mesa will review reports, medical records, accident scene photos, and all other available evidence to understand what caused the motorcycle accident. After gathering evidence, legal representation can help calculate damages so you can receive fair compensation.
Medical expenses, medical care, and medical bills that were incurred as a result of the medical attention needed after the accident must be calculated. If the injured biker missed work due to the injuries, is forced to change careers, or is unable to work at all as a result of the accident, lost past and future wages may be determined and included in a compensation request. Pain and suffering is another potential source of compensation that must be evaluated.
Our attorneys at Elmm Law Group could ensure that all potential compensation is considered and requested in either the settlement process or at trial.

The crash resulted in severe injuries, including broken bones and road rash, which required extended hospital stays and physical therapy. Suddenly, our client was facing massive medical bills, lost wages from missing work, and an insurance company that refused to take the claim seriously.

Under A.R.S. § 12-542, injured riders generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a civil lawsuit in Arizona. If a government entity is involved – such as a city vehicle or road agency – some deadlines may be significantly shorter. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your evidence and your claim.
Arizona does not require helmets for riders 18 and older under A.R.S. § 28-964, so riding without one does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation. The other side may argue it contributed to your injuries, but an attorney can counter that argument with evidence.
Yes. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system under A.R.S. § 12-2505, which means you may recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Insurance companies often try to inflate a rider’s share of fault to reduce what they pay – which is one reason having an attorney involved early matters.
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, total medical costs, lost income, and the strength of the evidence. No attorney can give you an accurate figure without reviewing the details of your specific case.
Do not give a recorded statement, accept any offer, or sign any document before speaking with an attorney. The other driver’s insurer is not acting in your interest – their goal is to close your claim for as little as possible.
