Tucson Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Arizona Personal Injury Attorneys

A daytrip on a motorcycle can turn from joyride to nightmare in an instant when a car crashes into a motorist on the highway. Unprotected by bumpers and steel frames, motorcycle drivers are exposed on the road. When they crash, skin and bone hit the ground with only a leather jacket or jeans as protection. Making the exposure even greater, Arizona's helmet law only requires that drivers under 18 years old wear helmets, leaving room for catastrophic results.

It is no surprise that so many fatalities and grievous injuries happen in motorcycle accidents. Many believe motorcyclists are more dangerous drivers, reckless with speed or swerving from lane to lane, but more often than not it is negligent passenger vehicle drivers who cause Arizona motorcycle accidents. Passenger vehicle drivers often don't look before switching lanes or spot a motorcyclist too late to avoid collision.

The important thing to remember is that motorcyclists have the same rights as car drivers in accidents. The Tucson motorcycle accident lawyers at Zanes Law will fight for injured motorcyclists' rights to compensation for medical bills, physical therapy, medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We have successfully advocated on behalf of motorcycle accident victims across Arizona, including Tucson, Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Casa Grande, Nogales, and Phoenix.

Insurance adjustors and insurance companies can make the aftermath of a motorcycle accident difficult to maneuver for victims. These are some tips motorcycle accident victims can use to protect themselves against those who may try to infringe on their rights to compensation.

Don't sign anything from an insurance adjustor after an accident until you have spoken to the Arizona motorcycle accident attorneys at Zanes Law. The business of these adjustors is to save insurance companies money and they may try to ask incriminating or leading questions that will damage your claim later.

See a doctor immediately. Any delay in getting medical care could hurt your case in the long run. Be sure to keep copies of all medical records, prescriptions, and treatments you receive under a physician's care. Do not let the insurance adjustor choose a doctor for you. You have a right to the doctor of your choice.

Notify your insurance company as soon as possible. Again, any delay may cast a negative shadow on settlement proceedings.

Keep records in a journal of how you felt after the accident. It may be difficult to remember in front of a jury or insurance adjustor six or seven months later how painful it was just to lift your arms to brush your hair. Also keep receipts for household services you paid for due to your injuries, like having the lawn mown, laundry done, or food prepared.
