It is difficult to know if you have a case without speaking to an experienced lawyer. When you contact our firm for your free consultation, this is an opportunity to review your situation and determine if negligence played a role in your accident. Negligence means that a person behaved in a reckless, careless or unreasonable manner that causes another to suffer an injury.
Our firm has decades of experience handling these types of cases and helping prove the four elements of negligence needed to establish a case for compensation. These elements include:
Duty of care means that the at-fault party had a legal obligation to act in a reasonable and responsible manner that would prevent himself or herself and others from harm. For example, a driver must abide by the rules of the road to ensure they are maintaining a safe speed and distance.
The at-fault party breached his or her duty of care by acting in a manner that is either negligent, reckless, or careless. Generally, another person in the same situation would have acted differently to prevent an accident from happening. For example, a driver who does not acknowledge the speed limit or fails to check for blind spots may risk crashing into a motorcyclist.
It must be shown that the at-fault party’s actions or inactions directly caused you to suffer an injury. If your injury could have been avoided had the at-fault party handled the situation differently, you may have grounds to pursue compensation. However, if the at-fault party was reacting to an unexpected act of nature, the situation could be deemed unforeseeable and he or she may likely not be seen as liable.
It must be proven that you suffered some type of damage as an outcome of the negligent party’s actions. It is simply not enough to show that you were injured. The injury must have caused you some form of loss such as medical expenses, property damage or loss of wages.
If you believe negligence played a role in your injuries, do not hesitate to speak to an licensed Tucson motorcycle accident to find out if you may able to take legal action.

Each motorcycle accident case is different so it is difficult to determine how much your case is worth without knowing the specifics of your situation. If our attorneys can prove that you have a viable case, we are prepared to help you obtain compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
These type of damages are the financial losses you experienced after the accident. Typically, these damages are easy to prove with documentation or receipts and may include:
Our firm understands the emotional trauma a motorcycle accident can have on a victim’s well-being. These damages are harder to measure because they have no monetary value and may include:
In some rare cases, we may be able to fight for punitive damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish the at-fault party for his or her extremely reckless or malicious behavior. Generally, when an accident is intentional and the at-fault party had the ill-will to cause harm, these damages may be obtained. Punitive damages are also meant to discourage others from acting in the same way.
Unlike most states, Arizona does not place caps or limits on the amount of damages you may be able to pursue. Our Tucson motorcycle accident attorneys are ready to pursue maximum compensation.

If you are looking to recover compensation for your motorcycle accident injury, we recommend that you seek legal help as soon as you can after the accident.
In Arizona, most personal injury cases generally have a two-year deadline to take legal action. Filing after this deadline may result in your case being dismissed and an inability to recover compensation.
However, since each case is different, there may be certain exceptions that apply to your situation. You may be required to file before or after this deadline. Be sure to contact a qualified Tucson motorcycle accident lawyer to understand the time limitations that may exist for you.
According to Arizona law, motorcycle operators are not required to wear a helmet if they are at least 18 years old. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, this should not stop you from seeking legal help. We may still be able to obtain compensation on your behalf if we can prove that negligence caused the accident.
When a crash is caused by a motorcycle rider losing control of his or her bike, this is known as a “no contact” accident. These types of accidents can happen for a number of reasons like a pothole on the road, a tire blowout, or uneven surfaces.
“No contact” cases can be difficult because it may require pursuing compensation from a product manufacturer or government entity. This is why we recommend speaking to a licensed attorney at our firm to understand how these type of cases work.
