Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are often far more severe than other types of crashes, frequently leading to life-changing injuries or fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are about four times more likely to be injured and nearly 30 times more likely to die in a crash than those in passenger vehicles.

In Globe and throughout Gila County, these tragic outcomes are often the result of preventable negligence.

Common Forms of Negligence Leading to Motorcycle Accidents

While each case is unique, certain behaviors appear again and again in the motorcycle injury cases we handle:

Speeding, including driving too fast for road or weather conditions
Distracted driving, such as texting, checking a GPS, or using a phone behind the wheel
Driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or other substances
Failing to check blind spots, especially when changing lanes or turning
Following too closely, also known as tailgating
Improper or illegal lane changes and turns
Aggressive driving, including road rage, abrupt braking, and weaving between lanes
Running stop signs or red lights
Failing to yield to motorcyclists, especially at intersections

Hazards Beyond the Driver

Not every motorcycle crash is caused by another driver’s actions. Riders in Globe may also face serious risks due to:

Poorly maintained roads, including potholes, gravel, and loose debris
Unsafe construction zones, where signage, barriers, or equipment create hazards
Defective road design, such as inadequate shoulders or blind curves
Reduced visibility caused by dust storms, heavy rain, or other weather conditions

Because motorcycles offer less physical protection than other vehicles, even a minor hazard can lead to devastating consequences.

Who Is Responsible For A Motorcycle Accident?

Identifying who is at fault in a motorcycle accident is a key part of pursuing a personal injury or wrongful death claim. In Arizona, the party that caused the crash is generally the one responsible for the resulting damages. This is because Arizona uses a fault-based insurance system, meaning that liability falls on the person or entity who caused the accident.

In many cases, that’s a negligent driver—someone who was speeding, distracted, or failed to yield. But liability isn’t always that straightforward. In Globe and other parts of Gila County, responsibility can also extend to third parties depending on the circumstances.

Examples of Who May Be Liable

Negligent Drivers: The most common cause of motorcycle crashes. If a driver fails to follow traffic laws or drives carelessly, they can be held responsible for the harm they cause.
Government Entities: If unsafe road conditions contributed to the accident, such as large potholes, poor signage, or lack of maintenance, the city, county, or state agency responsible for the road may share liability.
Commercial Vehicle Operators or Companies: If a delivery truck, construction vehicle, or other company-operated vehicle was involved, both the driver and their employer may be liable.
Manufacturers of Defective Parts: If a mechanical failure contributed to the crash, the manufacturer of a defective motorcycle part or safety component may be responsible.

Compensation For Motorcycle Accident Victims

Motorcyclists face a unique set of dangers on the road. Unlike those in enclosed vehicles, riders have limited physical protection during a crash. Even when wearing helmets and protective gear, the risk of serious injury—or fatality—remains high.

Because of these risks, motorcycle accidents often lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Victims and their families are left to manage medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery, all while trying to cope with the emotional toll.

Arizona law allows injured riders and surviving family members to seek compensation for these losses, known as damages.

Types of Damages You May Recover

Every motorcycle accident case is different, but depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical Expenses
Emergency care, ambulance transport, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and follow-up treatment
Future Medical Costs
Ongoing care such as rehabilitation, physical therapy, or long-term medical needs
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
Income lost during recovery, plus future earnings lost due to permanent injury or disability
Pain and Suffering
Physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional distress caused by the accident
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
When injuries prevent you from doing the things you once loved, such as hobbies, sports, or spending time with family
Disfigurement or Permanent Impairment
Scarring, amputations, or lasting injuries that impact your quality of life
Funeral and Burial Costs
In wrongful death cases, surviving families can also recover costs related to laying a loved one to rest

Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Serious

Motorcycle riders are far more vulnerable in a crash. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are about four times more likely to be injured and nearly 30 times more likely to die in a crash compared to occupants of passenger vehicles.

In Globe and across Gila County, rural roads, blind curves, and limited lighting can increase the risk. Add in distracted drivers or unsafe road conditions, and the danger only grows.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Motorcycle ACCIDENTS

Q: What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?

Call 911 and report the accident right away. Seek medical attention, even if you think your injuries are minor. Collect the other driver’s information, take photos of the scene, and gather witness contacts. Avoid admitting fault or making statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.

Q: Who can be held legally responsible for a motorcycle accident?

Liability depends on the cause of the crash. Responsible parties may include negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, government entities responsible for unsafe road conditions, or even construction contractors who failed to provide proper warnings. An attorney will investigate every potential source of liability.

Q: How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Arizona?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your claim involves a government vehicle or unsafe roadway, you must file a notice of claim within 180 days. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from recovering damages.

Q: Can I still recover damages if I wasn’t wearing protective gear?

Yes. Arizona law allows injured riders to recover damages even if they weren’t wearing certain safety gear, such as a helmet. However, the defense may argue your injuries were more severe because of that choice, potentially reducing compensation. An experienced attorney can help counter these arguments.

Q: How can an attorney help after a motorcycle accident?

A motorcycle accident attorney can investigate the crash, collect evidence, work with accident reconstruction experts, handle insurance negotiations, and represent you in court if necessary. At Miller Kory Rowe, our team uses decades of trial experience to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure justice for injured riders across Arizona.
