Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The above statistics paint a clear picture of the effect that motorcycle accidents can have, but what causes these collisions? The following are factors that can contribute to motorcycle crashes:
- Distracted driving
- Texting while driving
- Drunk driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield
- Unsafe lane changes
- Other traffic violations
- Adverse weather conditions
- Defective motorcycle or auto parts
- Dangerous or poorly maintained roads
One of the common claims in motorcycle accidents caused by other motorists is that they simply did not see the rider. This can stem from carelessness, distracted driving, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When you work with a Phoenix motorcycle accident lawyer at our firm, we will work to carefully investigate the incident to uncover and prove its cause. We work with accident reconstruction specialists and other experts to build compelling cases on behalf of our clients.
For experienced legal representation, call (602) 603-4032 or contact us online. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accidents in Arizona
Collisions with motor vehicles or crashes due to roadway defects or other reasons can be terrifying, especially for those who sustain serious injuries. If a motorcyclist in Arizona is injured in an accident caused by a negligent or distracted driver, a roadway defect (e.g. a pothole, rubble, unsafe construction work, etc.), or a vehicle defect, s/he should receive reasonable compensation for the damages.
Injured motorcyclists can recover the following damages from at-fault parties:
- Economic: Commonly known as special damages, ‘economic damages’ include things that can be calculated relatively easily by a Phoenix personal injury attorney after a motorcycle accident. It may include lost wages, medical bills, property damage expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, etc.
- Non economic: Commonly known as general damages, ‘non economic damages’ aren’t as easy to calculate. Often, there is no direct evidence available to estimate damages due to physical pain, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, etc.
There are numerous factors that affect the value of a motorcycle accident claim in Arizona or elsewhere in the United States. Some of the most common factors are:
- Whether the accident resulted in serious injuries
- Whether the victim was able to return to work after the accident
- Whether the injuries resulted in any short term or long term disabilities
- The intensity of pain and suffering that a victim had to bear with
- The cost of property damage
Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for injuries. Their main goal is to push their theory of ‘shared fault.’
