While riding a motorcycle can be a liberating experience, it can also be dangerous if other drivers on the road do not give you the space and respect you are entitled to under Arizona state law. Even worse, getting paid fairly for the harm you sustain in a motorcycle crash caused by a negligent driver can be difficult, even by the usual standards of auto accident litigation.
Put simply, filing a civil suit over a motorcycle wreck is a fight where the odds may be stacked against you unless you have help from an experienced personal injury attorney. By working closely with a Phillips Law Group Tolleson motorcycle accident lawyer who has spent decades helping local community members with cases just like yours, you could tip the odds of a successful case result back in your favor.
Recovering for All Available Damages
Because motorcyclists have virtually no protection from the extreme forces imparted in a motor vehicle collision other than potentially a safety helmet, they tend to suffer catastrophic injuries even from wrecks which happen at relatively low speeds. With this in mind, it is often especially important when pursuing civil compensation over this sort of accident to account for losses the accident will lead to months, years, or even decades into the future.
Verdicts And Settlements
$ 7,650,000
Motorcycle Accidents -TBI, Skull Fracture
$ 1,250,000
Motorcycle Accidents -Fractured Leg and Hip
$ 345,000
Motorcycle Accidents -Fractured Skull, Face, Wrist
$ 315,000
Motorcycle Accidents -UIM, Collapsed Lung, Testicular Injury, Fractures
On the economic side of things, this can mean estimating the costs of future medical, rehabilitative, and therapeutic care into a civil claim that concludes well before that care is actually provided, as well as things like loss of future earning capacity and disability-related expenses for home modifications and assistive equipment. Non-economic damages can be even trickier, but a skilled Tolleson motorcycle accident attorney can help demand fair restitution for long-term physical pain, emotional anguish, psychological trauma, and an overall decline in quality of life stemming from a serious wreck.
Are Drivers Always at Fault for Motorcycle Wrecks?
Of course, getting civil compensation after a motorcycle accident is only possible if the injured rider pursuing that compensation can prove someone else is legally liable for causing their injuries. In practice, this usually means establishing that a specific reckless, careless, or illegal act by the “defendant” being sued violated the “duty of care” that the defendant owed to the injured biker and that this “breach of duty” directly led to the accident which in turn directly caused the person’s injuries.
In many cases, though, it can be equally important for an injured motorcyclist to establish that they hold no fault for causing their own injuries — or making them worse in an avoidable way — by acting negligently themselves. Otherwise, as a qualified motorcycle wreck lawyer in Tolleson can explain, a civil court could reduce the total value of that injured person’s damage award in proportion to the share of “comparative fault” they hold for their injuries, in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-2505.

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...

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 --...
