Protect Your Rights After a Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Today
Accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles, and passenger vehicles can cause serious injuries because motorcyclists and bicyclists have less physical protection than people traveling inside enclosed vehicles. When a collision involves multiple impacts, determining how each occurred can be important to understanding the injuries and possible responsibility.
Under Arizona car accident laws, motorists must exercise reasonable care, obey traffic control devices, and yield the right-of-way when required. Bicyclists traveling on roadways generally have the same rights and duties as vehicle drivers, subject to laws specifically governing bicycle operation.
When a motorcycle strikes a bicycle and is subsequently struck by another vehicle, investigators may need to examine each impact separately. The actions of multiple road users may be relevant to determining whether one or more parties contributed to the accident.
Evidence such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, vehicle damage, and roadway markings may help establish the sequence of events. However, the involvement of several vehicles does not automatically mean that every operator shares responsibility.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system. An injured person may generally pursue compensation even when partially responsible for an accident, although any damages awarded may be reduced according to that person’s percentage of fault.
Unlike states with mandatory no-fault automobile insurance systems, Arizona generally uses an at-fault liability system for motor vehicle accidents. An injured person may pursue a claim against a responsible party’s liability insurance when negligence contributed to the collision.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include qualifying medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. The availability and amount of compensation depend on the evidence, applicable insurance coverage, and the injuries sustained.
Arizona generally provides two years to file personal injury lawsuits arising from motor vehicle accidents, subject to exceptions. Claims involving public entities may require earlier notice and have different filing deadlines.

After receiving medical treatment, injured individuals may benefit from preserving hospital records, discharge instructions, photographs of vehicle damage, and communications with insurance companies. These materials may help document injuries and support an available claim.
People recovering from serious motorcycle or bicycle accidents may also need assistance locating rehabilitation services and understanding insurance benefits. Our guide to resources for accident victims and families in Arizona provides additional information about available support.
