Motorcycle Crash Statistics in Arizona

As a motorcyclist in Arizona, even if you’re as safe as possible, you’re at risk for a wreck while you’re riding. You could follow every law, pay attention to every rule, and be extremely cautious on your bike, but still get struck by another driver who wasn’t being attentive. Looking to motorcycle crash statistics in our state can help you understand the risk involved with riding.

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s 2020 crash facts, these are the number of motorcycle accidents in our state in that year:

2,373 total crashes
163 fatal crashes
1,855 injury crashes
355 property damage only crashes

By looking at these numbers, you can see that nearly 80 percent of all motorcycle crashes in our state end in injury. This is because motorcyclists and their passengers are more exposed while on their cycles, which means that their bodies are the main object taking the force of the impact. If they are thrown from the motorcycle, their bodies also take the force of hitting the pavement or any other objects as well.

This is why motorcycle accidents can easily cause serious injuries or could even quickly lead to death. Even if your collision only caused property damage, you’ll still have a lot to deal with in the aftermath. When injuries or fatalities are also involved, you can expect your life to completely change.

Our Chandler, AZ motorcycle accident lawyer is here to help you through all of this. We’ll investigate what happened and hold the correct party accountable so that you can move on with your life as best as possible.

What Causes Moto Wrecks in Chandler

Another way to better understand the risk involved with riding your motorbike is by looking into the different causes of motorcycle wrecks. This can help you try to avoid a crash between you and another driver, or it can help you deal with what happened by knowing exactly what caused your collision. Knowing the different situations that cause a wreck can also help your lawyer determine who was at fault for what happened to you.

Here are some of the most common causes of moto accidents in Chandler, AZ:

Drunk Driving. When any driver is drunk, whether it’s the biker or the driver of a regular vehicle, a deadly crash can happen.
Distracted Driving. If any driver doesn’t pay attention to the road, or if they’re only looking for regular sized vehicles, they could fail to see a motorcyclist and crash into them.
Following Too Closely. When cars follow motorcyclists too closely, they could run into their back tire and cause an accident. Similarly, if a motorcyclist is following too closely, they could brake suddenly and ram into the car. When this happens, they can suffer severe head trauma.
Failing to Yield. Yield signs are posted for a reason. When the driver or biker is supposed to yield and doesn’t, this can cause an accident.
Intersections. These are the most dangerous spots for all drivers, including motorcyclists. People on motorbikes are easily overlooked in intersections and can suffer serious crashes.
Speeding. Driving over the posted speed limit increases your risk of accidents because you have less reaction time and all of your movements are amplified from the speed.
Hit and Runs. When a driver strikes a biker and flees, this can be a serious situation for the injured parties.

Our Chandler, AZ motorcycle accident lawyer will fully investigate what happened in your collision so that we can determine what caused it, who was responsible, and what you’re owed in damages.

Arizona Motorcycle Helmet Laws

Since our state follows pure comparative fault laws, even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages in a moto wreck. However, you should still try to follow all the rules when riding your motorcycle so that you can stay as safe as possible and not have to worry about being considered at fault for anything in the event of a crash.

One way you can ensure you’re following the law is by adhering to motorcycle helmet laws. In Arizona, all motorcyclists and their passengers under the age of 18 must wear a helmet while on their bikes, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. No matter what age, a rider must wear glasses, goggles, or a transparent face shield to protect them from the wind.

Regardless, motorcyclists should always choose to wear a helmet because it’s the safest option. While it can’t protect you in every scenario, it does reduce your chances of suffering from a traumatic brain injury as a result.

When you’ve been in a crash as a biker, you could use the help of our motorcycle accident lawyer in Chandler, AZ. We can help stand up for your rights and get you justice for what you’ve suffered through.

"Thank God we found him. He really seemed to care about our family."
Mr. Buckingham won our case after two other law firms said it would be impossible to win. He knew the medicine better than the experts in the case. I guess the fact that he’s also a doctor was a great help.

Former Client
"He truly was impressive."
Mr. Buckingham flew to the East Coast several times & understood how a correct gall bladder surgery is supposed to be done better than the surgeon. He was very knowledgeable & precise.

Former Client
"If you want real-life heroes contact these guys. They cared when no one else did."
When I first contacted Mr.Vega, I knew he was different because he listened to me with compassion. Mr. Vega and his team gave me hope and most important they gave my son a better life.

Former Client
"Adrian Vega and his law firm changed my family's life."
They fought for my injured baby and made sure we would be taken care of for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend this law firm.

Former Client
"My family is better off having them in our corner."
We turned to him when we had nowhere else to go. Turns out it was the best decision we could have ever made. They represented us in a difficult case and made those responsible accountable for their actions.

Former Client
"Nothing but the best of the best."
This was an experience I'll never forget and felt like family and not a business associate. Adrian kept me informed and up to date on all matters of the lawsuit. Needless to say, I received more ( much more ) than expected...

Former Client
"Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!"
I would highly recommend using Buckingham & Vega if you have been injured in an accident. Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!

Former Client
"Highly Recommend"
We had a great experience working with Adrian. He was very professional and guided my family through a difficult situation.
