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.

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.

Causes of This Phoenix Motorcycle Accident

As motorcycle accident lawyers, we see many cases in which motorcyclists are hit by impaired or distracted drivers. Police have ruled out impairment in this case, meaning the driver was either distracted or disregarded the law and failed to yield at the stop sign. When he failed to yield at the stop sign, he made a left turn and hit the oncoming motorcyclist.

Phoenix Motorcycle Accident Law

According to ARS 28-855, the driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign must stop before entering the crosswalk or at the point nearest the intersecting roadway to look at approaching traffic. We know the driver must yield the right of way to motorists that do not have a stop sign, such as was the case in this Arizona negligent driver motorcycle crash.

The motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet and was thrown from his motorcycle when he collided with the car. We share our deepest thoughts and condolences with the man’s family.

Interestingly enough, many bikers do not know that although Arizona motorcycle law does not require you to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, if your injuries could have been prevented by wearing a helmet, the insurance company will blame the injured rider for his or her own injuries. Mark Breyer has met with an Arizona State Legislature along with others to try to get this law changed.

Causes of This Glendale Motorcycle Crash

Police have ruled out speed and impairment in this Arizona fatal motorcycle crash, saying that the accident was caused as a result of the woman attempting to make a left turn at 75th Avenue and Missouri when she turned in front of the motorcyclist.

Causes of This Phoenix Motorcycle Accident

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (ADPS) has not released information about the possible causes of this motorcycle accident. As motorcycle accident attorneys, we often see motorcycle accidents caused by other motorists who are distracted and don’t see the motorcyclist. We also see motorcycle accidents caused by road rage incidents, failure to yield to motorcycles, and drunk drivers.

In this case, the motorcycle accident involved a truck parked on the side of the highway. It is possible that the truck wasn’t pulled off the highway enough for the motorcycle to get around, and that the truck wasn’t properly marked. Possibly, the design of the roadway is to blame as well.

Arizona Motorcycle Accident Statistics

There were 2,735 Arizona motorcycle accidents in 2010 resulting in 86 people killed and 2,390 people injured according to a report released by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).

Causes of Phoenix Motorcycle Crashes

Although police are still continuing their investigation and say that the driver of the car did not seem impaired, the driver was attempting to make a left turn when his car collided with the motorcycle. As motorcycle accident lawyers, we often see cases in which motorists do not see motorcycles.

Arizona Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Unfortunately, motorcycles are often less visible than cars because they are smaller and typically only have one headlight. There were a total of 1,610 motorcycle collisions involving a car in Arizona in 2005 according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Of those, 76 ended in at least one fatality.

Most motorcycle collisions occur in broad daylight, however, that is likely because fewer motorcyclists drive at night when visibility is even worse. According to ADOT, many cases found no error on the part of the motorcyclist, meaning that the motorist was found at fault.
