May is Arizona Motorcycle Safety Awareness month. One thing we thought we would bring to the attention of motorcycle riders is to pay extra special attention to animals crossing the highways or roadways. Animals are at fault for many accidents in Arizona.
Arizona motorcycle accidents happen many times with animals crossing the road, so look for those signs regarding animals. Although animals are not legally at fault, it may be that if they have an owner the owner may be at fault for not keeping track of their animal. It is important for people to remember that riding a motorcycle can be very dangerous.
A motorcycle rider has little protection compared to the protection that a vehicle gives to occupants. This means that when an accident happens with a motorcycle rider, the rider has a much higher percentage of being hurt as compared to an occupant of a vehicle. For AZ motorcycle accident prevention, we hope that all vehicle drivers pay extra special attention to motorcycle riders this month. During the summer, animals tend to come out more and more, so hopefully the reminder to motorcycle riders to watch out for animals is something to keep in mind. We have had motorcycle riders even hit cows when travelling in certain areas. Remember that as a motorcycle rider if you do come in contact with an animal, the owner may be liable!
How to Minimize the Chances of Hitting Animals
In 2010, there were 32 accidents with animals and motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, motorcycle riders know all too well how dangerous riding a bike can be as there are so many accidents that take place in Arizona. Arizona is home to many motorcycle riders because of the outstanding weather. We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and is going to take this month to pay attention to all of the riders out there. It is important for vehicle drivers to put down their phones and always watch out for riders. Vehicle drivers need to watch out for riders and always pay attention to the roadways. Throughout this month, you will be seeing a lot of motorcycle safety and we hope that all riders remember how important it is to show respect to riders.

As experienced Mesa motorcycle crash attorneys, we are dismayed by the death of a man in a collision reported by KPHO Channel 5 on May 3. The motorcycle rider was eastbound on Southern Avenue around 11:00 p.m. on Thursday evening when a car travelling westbound made a left turn in front of the rider, resulting in an accident that caused life-threatening injuries. He was taken to a local hospital but died from the injuries. Reports from police indicate that the rider was wearing a helmet. There is no word on whether the driver who failed to yield will be cited for the crash.
Mesa Motorcycle Crash Statistics
Like many other collisions, this Arizona fatal motorcycle crash was caused by a failure to yield on the part of the person driving the other vehicle. According to Arizona’s Department of Transportation (ADOT), more than 13,400 car crashes in Arizona are caused by a failure to yield on the part of at least one driver. In many cases, motorcycle riders are killed or seriously injured in accidents where another vehicle turns in front of them. Each year, nearly 100 motorcycle rider deaths are reported in Arizona and approximately 2,400 are reported injured as the result of a collision.

As experienced Chandler motorcycle crash attorneys, we are very concerned by the rise in accidents involving police officers, including a crash reported by KPHO on Wednesday, May 2, 2012. The police officer involved in the collision was riding on Loop 202 westbound near the exit for McQueen Road when the accident occurred. Traffic stopped quickly on the freeway due to an accident and the officer was unable to stop his motorcycle. He rear-ended a car traveling in front of him on the roadway. The officer was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for his injuries, though the extent of his injuries are unknown at this time. The people traveling in the other vehicle may also have been injured. No reports have confirmed their status. The police officer was on his way to help in another collision when the accident occurred.
The police officer in this case most likely has a workers’ compensation claim and an Arizona personal injury claim. These two claims are separate but also work together. Understanding how they work together can be complex and we would suggest the officer and his family talk to an experienced attorney who understands the dynamics of these injury and workers’ compensation laws.
Chandler Motorcycle Crash Statistics
Every Chandler motorcycle crash is one of more than 2,730 that occur every year in Arizona, according to the Department of Transportation (ADOT). In Chandler, motorcycle collisions contribute to approximately 3,515 car accidents reported annually. People are hurt in more than one-quarter of these accidents, and more than 1,400 injuries are reported as a result of these injury accidents. Despite the high injury-incident rate, most collisions in Chandler result only in damage to property. In fact, more than 71 percent of the 3,515 crashes in Chandler each year result in property damage without any reported injuries or fatalities.
Why Call a Chandler Motorcycle Crash Attorney
This Chandler motorcycle crash resulted in multiple injuries of unknown extent and the people who were hurt can benefit from consulting with a Chandler motorcycle crash attorney to understand their legal rights. The Husband and Wife Law Team would consider hiring a crash scene team to help determine what the cause of the accident was and to assign fault. We would use testimony from the experts and eyewitnesses, and also collect evidence from the scene to build a strong personal injury case and negotiate a settlement to cover injuries, vehicle damages, and other crash-related damages. If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident and need assistance with your personal injury case, call the Breyer Law Offices, P.C. for a free case evaluation.
The number one cause of an Apache Junction motorcycle collision is that drivers often don’t see a motorcycle. As experienced Arizona motorcycle accident injury attorneys, we want everyone to remember that May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and all drivers should keep their eyes on the road and be on the lookout for motorcycle riders to help reduce the number of collisions. Motorcycle accidents aren’t only caused by failure to see a rider, however. Reports by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) indicate that the speed of the car and the motorcycle are also contributing factors. Other reports highlight the increased time a motorcycle requires to stop as a major contributing factor in crashes as well. However, the number one cause of death in motorcycle accidents is the non-use of safety gear.
Apache Junction Motorcycle Collision Statistics
Every Apache Junction motorcycle collision contributes to the more than 400 car crashes that happen within the city limits, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Reports indicate that more than one-third of all crashes that happen in the city cause injuries and that approximately 220 people are hurt in vehicle accidents here each year. While not all Apache Junction crashes involve motorcycles, a portion of the nearly 2,750 accidents in Arizona involving motorcycles every year do occur in this city. Riders and drivers alike can reduce their risk of causing or being involved in a motorcycle accident in Apache Junction by following posted traffic laws and keeping their eyes and full attentions on the road.

As experienced motorcycle collision attorneys, we were shocked to hear the news of a crash that involved two people riding on one motorcycle on Monday, April 30th, 2012, according to KPHO News. The motorcycle was travelling northbound on US-93 when the crash occurred. Both people were taken by life flight helicopter to a nearby emergency room to be treated for serious injuries. Initial reports on the Wikieup motorcycle accident have not indicated whether the crash involved only the motorcycle or if other vehicles were involved in the collision. The current state of the motorcycle rider and the passenger is unknown. Our thoughts are with both people injured in this motorcycle wreck and we wish them both a swift recovery.
How to Avoid a Wikieup Motorcycle Collision
When out on the road, drivers need to be attentive to motorcycle riders. In 2010, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported more than 3,000 crashes in Mohave County, with nearly 1,150 attributable to unincorporated areas like Wikieup. Approximately 70 percent of the deaths that occurred in Mohave County accidents in 2010 were reported in those same unincorporated areas, where accidents are sometimes left undiscovered for hours or days. Nearly 50 percent of injury accidents in Mohave County were also attributed to unincorporated areas. Drivers can avoid being involved in a serious motorcycle crash in these areas by ensuring their lights are on in poorly lit areas, following the posted speed limits, and watching out for motorcycle riders to avoid an unnecessary crash.
Why Call an Arizona Personal Injury Attorney
Though the facts of this Arizona motorcycle collision are still being determined, the passenger who was hurt in the course of the crash should still contact an Arizona personal injury lawyer right away. Breyer Law Offices, P.C. would negotiate a settlement for the injured passenger that would help to defray medical bills, lost income, and other costs associated with recovery. We would also bring in a team of crash reconstruction experts if necessary to help determine the cause of the accident and determine who was at fault for the passenger’s injuries so that an appropriate settlement could be reached.

As Tucson motorcycle collision attorneys with years of experience in handling motorcycle injury accidents, we are concerned about the rider injured in an accident reported by the Tucson Police Department on April 28. The accident took place where Alvernon Way intersects with Hampton Place when a vehicle and a motorcycle collided. Initial reports did not indicate whether the motorcycle rider was a wearing a helmet at the time of the incident and there is no word on the extent of his injuries.
The status of the other driver is also unknown. Police are still investigating the wreck and our thoughts are with those who were involved. Whether or not the rider was wearing a helmet is important, as the insurance company of the at-fault driver will try to blame the rider for his own injuries due to not wearing his helmet. This is something that the law allows that many motorcycle riders are not familiar with and is a main reason why motorcycle riders should protect their rights and consult with an attorney.
Avoiding a Tucson Motorcycle Collision
Avoiding a Tucson motorcycle collision starts with vehicle drivers paying attention to the road and obeying traffic laws. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) records more than 2,700 crashes each year that involve motorcycles. Of these accidents, approximately 2,200 result in severe injuries to the people involved. This high injury rate of nearly 81 percent leads to almost 2,400 people being hurt including drivers, riders, and passengers. The most common causes of these accidents are speeding and rear-end collisions. By slowing down, drivers will likely boost their ability to react quickly to unforeseen incidents. In addition, paying attention on the road will help drivers to see motorcycles and vice versa.
Why Call a Tucson Motorcycle Collision Attorney
Although some of the facts are still unknown in this Tucson motorcycle collision and police are not yet done investigating the accident, the person who was hurt should contact an attorney. Breyer Law Offices, P.C. would help the person who was hurt in this crash by hiring experts to help determine the exact cause of the wreck. Using this information, along with evidence and testimony from eye witnesses, we would negotiate a settlement for the person who sustained injuries and help them secure a fair settlement.

As experienced Glendale motorcycle hit and run accident attorneys, we were deeply disturbed by reports of a fatal accident reported by ABC News on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012. A man was riding his motorcycle on Northern Avenue when he entered the Loop 101 and lost control of his bike. The rider swerved into the middle of the freeway and crashed, falling into the road. After the rider crashed a semi truck struck him. A car then went around traffic that was stopped for the accident and also hit the motorcycle rider. Neither the driver of the semi truck nor the driver of the car stopped. The man who was riding the motorcycle died at the scene of the crash. We are heartbroken for the rider’s family and hope that they will find peace.

Arizona Motorcycle Accident Statistics
As Arizona motorcycle accident lawyers, we examine statistics for motorcycle accidents frequently since we see so many motorcycle accidents.
One of the statistics that we thought was interesting to learn is that based on 2010 data from the Arizona Department of Transportation, it was found that the peak hours for motorcycle crashes are between 4p.m.-5p.m.
Another noteworthy fact is that the day that is most prevalent for fatal motorcycle accidents is Fridays.
In 2010, there were 2,735 motorcycle crashes that occurred in the roads in Arizona based on reported accidents.
Arizona Motorcycle Laws
As far as laws that people may not be aware of, motorcycle mufflers must stay below a certain decibel level. Many non-motorcycle riders think that motorcycles are very loud, but it is true that the mufflers must remain under a certain decibel level.

As experienced motorcycle crash attorneys in Yuma we were amazed at the details of a collision that took place Friday, March 16, 2012 according to the Yuma Sun. The accident occurred near the northeast corner of the intersection at 4th Avenue and 19th Street when a motorcycle and a car collided. The motorcycle overturned during the collision and the rider suffered serious injuries. The rider crawled from the street to the safety of the sidewalk where emergency crews attended him to when they arrived on the scene. There have been no reports on the status of the driver of the car involved in the collision and the cause of this crash is still under investigation.
Yuma Motorcycle Crash One of Many and One Too Many
This Yuma motorcycle crash is one of a recent string of severe collisions involving motorcycle riders in the Yuma area. Each year, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reports more than 2,700 motorcycle crashes in Arizona with more than 80 percent resulting in injuries. Motor vehicle drivers can reduce their risk of being involved in a collision with a motorcycle by first remembering to watch for this growing class of small vehicles. In many cases, collisions are caused because the driver of a car or truck did not see a motorcycle rider. In addition, drivers should remember that not all motorcycles have turn signals lights and the stop lamps on these vehicles are much smaller than those on a car, making it imperative that drivers pay close attention to the actions of motorcyclists riding in front of them.
