Tips for Riding in the Rain
In Arizona, we do not experience great amounts of rainfall as other areas of the United States. Therefore, when it does rain, our roads become extremely slick and can be extremely dangerous to motorcyclists. For this reason, our attorneys have gathered some information to assist riders in operating their vehicles safely during rainy conditions. Some safety tips for riding in the rain include:
Avoid Concrete
Avoid Oil Patches
Avoid Painted Lines
Avoid Puddles
Avoid Steel Items
Be Cautious At Intersections
Increase Stopping Distance
Increase your Following Distance
Make yourself Visible
Respect Others On Roadway
Signal your Intentions
Slow your Speed
Take Turns Slower
Turn your Lights On
Wear Protective Clothing
By following these simple steps, motorcyclists may be able to avoid becoming involved in an accident with another motor vehicle, and also avoid falling off their bike while riding.
Common Motorbike Injuries Associated with Riding in the Rain
It is commonly known that motorcycles have less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles. Therefore, when they are involved in any type of accident, they are highly susceptible to injuries. These injuries can range from minimal injuries to more severe injuries depending on the circumstances. Some common types of injuries associated with riding in the rain include:
Ankle Injuries
Bruises
Dental Injuries
Disfigurement
Dislocated Joints
Facial Injuries
Fractured Bones
Hematomas
Neck Injuries
Road Rash
Skin Abrasions
Spinal Cord Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries
If you are suffering from a motorcycle accident injury caused by the negligent actions of another individual, it is advised to seek medical attention for you injuries. By doing so, it will provide an attorney with necessary medical documentation needed to formulate a robust case against the negligent and injury causing individuals.
Automobile Motorcycle Awareness
As nearly two-thirds of all car versus motorcycle accidents are caused by the driver of the automobile, it may become increasingly dangerous for motorcyclists to be seen in rainy conditions. Furthermore, drivers may be paying less attention for motorcyclists as they may be more concentrated on not slipping on the roadways. There are a few tips passenger vehicle drivers can take to avoid accidents with motorcyclists in wet conditions.
Some automobile motorcycle awareness tips include:
Look for Motorcycles
Give Riders More Space
Be Courteous To Motorcyclists
Pay Attention at Intersections
Check your Blind Spots

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
