No contact accidents are commonly the result of the rider losing control of the motorcycle and crashing, or as a result of a mechanical failure (chain snapping, tire blowout) – where there is no contact with another vehicle. In some instances, there may be an issue with the road surface however, that can be difficult to prove when filing a lawsuit.
No-contact accidents work similarly to other traffic accidents in that it must be determined who caused the accident.
In the event that the at-fault motorist has failed to maintain auto insurance coverage – or if the insurance coverage does not cover the damages being claimed in the lawsuit – plaintiff’s may still be able to file a claim against their own insurance policy. However, there are many variables to this, and we suggest that if you are unsure, to reach out and speak to a motorcycle accident attorney at our firm today.

It depends.
Under the Arizona Revised Statutes 28-964, the state of Arizona does not require motorcyclists to wear a helmet if they are over the age of 18 years. However, if an adult rider is injured while not wearing a helmet, the insurance company may argue that not wearing a helmet contributed to making their injuries worse – when compared to a similar accident where the rider was wearing a helmet.

If you were injured in a crash and were not wearing a helmet, contact a lawyer at Phillips Law today. We can review the details of your specific incident at no cost to you and determine if there is a legal solution available.

After being injured in a crash, having a lawyer in your corner can be an important part of the recovery process.
Following an accident, victims are often contacted by the insurance company of the at-fault driver, in an attempt to settle the claim as quickly – and cheaply – as possible. While the insurance company may appear friendly, their primary obligation is to deliver a profit to their shareholders. They do this by generating revenue from the policies they offer, and not paying claims – or paying a small percentage of what the true value of a claim may be.
Insurance companies may also pressure victims into signing documentation and providing statements that – if the case goes to court – can be used against the plaintiff to help discredit their claim.
At Phillips Law Group, we handle insurance companies on a regular basis and understand the strategies they use. We can work to build a strong argument for your damages claim – by gathering evidence, using industry experts to validate your claim and more. We also take each case on a contingency basis – which means that we charge no upfront fees if we take on your case and we only get paid if we obtain a recovery for your case.
There can be many different reasons that cause or contribute to a motorcycle accident. Some of the most common include:
The aftermath of a motorcycle crash can be significant. Personal injury, property damage and fatalities may ensue.
