Prescott has significantly more seasonable temperatures year-round compared to many other parts of Arizona, and many people take advantage of the weather by riding a bicycle for exercise, pleasure, or simply as an alternative to driving. Unfortunately, not everyone who chooses to drive a motor vehicle in this area is as responsible around bicyclists as they should be — something which you may have learned the hard way recently.
You have a right to file suit against anyone who causes you to get hurt through their own reckless or careless misconduct, but effectively enforcing that right can be difficult without support from a skilled personal injury attorney. By retaining and working closely with a seasoned Prescott bicycle accident lawyer from Phillips Law Group, you can dramatically improve your chances of achieving a positive case result and getting paid what you deserve for your damages.

Who Could Be at Fault for a Bike Wreck in Prescott?
Statistically speaking, the person most commonly at fault for a bicycle accident in Arizona is a motor vehicle driver who broke a traffic law, did not pay attention to their surroundings, or otherwise acted irresponsibly behind the wheel and struck a bicyclist as a direct result. Sometimes, though, multiple different parties may hold a portion of civil liability for this sort of incident — for example, a manufacturer that produced faulty car or bike components, or a local government body that did not properly maintain bike paths in safe condition.
Conversely, a bicyclist injured in a wreck can sometimes be found partially at fault for their injuries based on their own “negligent” behavior, which could lead to a court assigning them a percentage of “comparative fault” and proportionately reducing their damage award based on their share of total fault. Guidance from a knowledgeable Prescott bicycle accident attorney can be key both to proving someone else was to blame for this sort of incident and to proving that the injured cyclist pursuing the claim was not to blame themselves.
Recovering for Losses After a Bike Accident
Once one or more people have been established as legally liable for injuries someone sustained in a bike crash, the injured cyclist can demand compensation from those liable parties for every form of harm they can trace directly back to their accident. This includes both “economic” damages with objective financial values and “non-economic” damages with subjective financial values, and more specifically may include things like:
- Short-term and long-term medical bills
- Short-term and long-term income loss
- Personal property damage, including bicycle repair/replacement costs
- Lost overall enjoyment of life
- Physical pain and suffering
- Psychological and emotional distress
Once again, an experienced lawyer’s help is vital to identifying and effectively seeking restitution for all damages stemming from a bicycle accident in Prescott. Additionally, our team at Phillips Law Group is not afraid to advocate on behalf of our client’s best interests in court if settlement negotiations with insurance do not yield the desired outcome.

Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
