As Phoenix motorcycle accident lawyers, we handle many motorcycle accident claims and see many motorcyclists who are seriously injured. As a motorcycle rider, if you are relaxed when riding and feel comfortable on a motorcycle, you are less likely to be injured. Of course, not all motorcycle riders are expert riders. Many motorcycle riders are on the road for the first time. As you continue to become more relaxed and comfortable when riding, it will be better for you in terms of being able to react faster when a motor vehicle is coming at you. That being said, if a driver of a motor vehicle causes an accident and you are injured, it is not your fault that you are a new rider. Most motorcycle accidents in Arizona do in fact occur between a motorcyclists and a driver of a motor vehicle.
