Is My Case Valid or Not?

To know if you have a valid case, our legal team needs to go over the details of what happened in order to determine if you are eligible to take legal action. This means proving that negligence played a role in the motorcycle accident that led to you being injured. Four elements of negligence will need to be proven:

• A duty of care was owed – The other side had a legal obligation to act in a reasonable manner to stop you from suffering harm. A driver’s duty of care is to follow all traffic signs and signals while on the road.
• The duty of care was breached – The other side did not maintain his or her duty of care and caused you harm by not acting as another reasonable motorist would have done in the same situation.
• Link between breach and your injury – You must establish a causal link between the other side’s breach and your injury. Medical records and police/accident reports could help establish this link.
• Your suffered damages – This could include reasonable medical expenses and property damage.

An Avondale motorcycle accident attorney from our firm is here to review your situation in a free consultation. If you have a case, we are prepared to conduct an investigation and gather evidence to build a strong case.

Compensation Available for Motorcycle Accident Victims

The true value of any case will depend on the victim’s unique set of circumstances. Generally, you may be eligible to recover two forms of compensation after a motorcycle accident: economic and non-economic damages. These damages could help pay for monetary costs as well as physical and emotional trauma.

Medical Expenses

Medical care can be quite costly. Certain injuries to the brain, neck, and back often require long-term treatments, including multiple surgeries and physical therapy. If you are awarded economic damages, it could help you cover hospital stays, travel costs to doctor’s offices, medications, emergency services, and more.

Lost Wages

After a motorcycle accident, many victims are not able to return to work for a period of time, work in the same capacity as before, or return to work at all due to their injuries. If you are awarded economic damages, it could help you cover wages lost while in recovery and perhaps any future pay you would have received.

Property Damage

If your motorcycle or another motor vehicle is damaged, you may be able to recover compensation to help cover costs associated with repairing your vehicle, renting a vehicle, or for the full cost of your vehicle if totaled.

Pain and Suffering

Motorcycle accidents can be a devastating experience for victims and their loved ones. If you are awarded non-economic damages, it could help cover any physical pain, mental suffering and emotional distress you have had to endure during and since the crash. Other related damages included loss of enjoyment of life and loss of companionship.

How Long Do I Have to File?

The longer you wait, the less chance you may have at pursing compensation for your injuries and damages. With that being said, you generally have two years starting from the date of the accident to take legal action.

You will not be able to file a case if you miss the two-year window. It may seem like enough time, but it takes time to build a strong case. This is why we encourage contacting our firm for help as soon as possible.

“I Was Not Wearing a Helmet” Do I Still Have a Case?

Under Arizona law, all riders under the age of 18 must wear a helmet. This means that anyone over the age limit is not legally required to wear headgear. In any scenario, many victims may be unsure as to whether they are able to take legal action if they were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

There is good news and bad news. The good news is that you may still be able to pursue compensation, but the other side’s insurance company and legal team may make it harder for you to obtain fair compensation because they will use not wearing a helmet against you. We strongly recommend hiring a lawyer in this case.

Insurance Coverage Required for Motorcyclists

Arizona’s insurance system is fault-based. The party accountable for causing the accident is also accountable for paying for the victim’s damages. It is mandatory for motorists in the state to carry liability insurance. This coverage helps pay for the other side’s injury costs and property damages if you are deemed at fault.

Motorcyclists must carry at least the following amounts:

• $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person
• $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident
• $10,000 of property damage coverage

More insurance coverage can be purchased. If you have a case, an Avondale motorcycle accident attorney at Phillips Law Group could help you pursue the full value of your damages. Give us a call at 602-222-222.

What if the Other Driver’s Insurance Coverage is Not Enough?

Sometimes, even if the at-fault driver has more than the minimum amount of liability insurance required, it may still not be enough cover all the damages you have suffered.

In these situations, our legal team could help you seek compensation from your underinsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage is also mandatory. All motorcyclists in Arizona must have at least $15,000 worth of coverage per person and $30,000 worth of coverage per accident.

Our lawyers are well-versed in insurance requirements and are prepared to review your policy coverage.

A Passenger Was Injured – Can They File A Claim?

Filing a claim as an injured passenger is relatively similar to filing a claim as an injured driver in a motorcycle accident. The passenger may be eligible to file a claim against the at-fault driver. If the motorcyclist was to blame for any part of the crash, you may even be able to file a claim against his or her insurance provider.

Although you may be hesitant to file a claim against someone you know, it is important to know that you are pursuing a claim with his or her insurance provider, not the person individually.

What Are ‘No Contact’ Motorcycle Accidents?

There are times when an accident is the result of a rider losing control of the motorcycle. This could be caused by a mechanical error, such as a tire blowout, or due to issues with the roadway, such as a pothole.

No contact motorcycle accidents can be more difficult. Victims may need to pursue compensation from a manufacturer of the motorcycle or its parts, or from a government entity. It is in your best interest to consult with a reputable Avondale motorcycle accident attorney at Phillips Law Group to protect your rights.

Main Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

Many motorcycle crashes are due to negligence. Some instances of negligent behavior include:

Since motorcycles are smaller in size, it can make it harder for other motor vehicles to seem them. Motorcyclists also do not have the added protected of seat belts, which is why injures can be more severe.

Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!

I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...

I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!

I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

Darren M.

I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.

Tea J.

Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...

Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...

Grant F.

Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.

Matt S.

I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
