Motorcycle Accident Cases In
Tucson and Southern Arizona
Motorcycle accidents are often much more severe than car accidents. These accidents do not have the protection of seat belts, airbags, as well as the physical structure of the vehicle, and the resulting bodily damage often includes head injuries, broken bones, lost limbs, severe skin damage, and spinal cord damage. This type of injury almost always requires an attorney to handle the claim with the insurance company and with the medical liens resulting from the treatment.
In a motorcycle accident, the case is typically focused on medical care and negotiating the medical liens through the settlement process. In Tucson, hospital medical liens are often handled by local attorneys that can be difficult to negotiate with, especially without counsel.
Liability in these cases is most frequently assigned to the other vehicle, especially with left-hand turns (a vehicle making a left turn is almost always liable to a motorcyclist traveling straight in the opposite direction), blind lane merges, reckless driving and distracted driving, and unfortunately, intoxicated driving. In Arizona, there is no helmet law, unless the rider is under the age of 18. That said, a motorcyclist must have protective eyewear, unless the bike is equipped with a protective windshield.
