    Avondale, Arizona, is an ideal place to own a motorcycle due to its warm weather and wide roadways. Even in the best conditions, motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to injuries than those riding around in cars and trucks. Unfortunately, another motorist’s reckless or careless actions can lead to catastrophic injuries for a motorcycle rider. 

    If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle crash caused by someone else, you might be entitled to compensation for the harm they’ve caused you. Continue reading to find out how our Avondale motorcycle accident attorneys at Zanes Law can help and how much we’ve gotten other motorcycle accident victims in the past.

    Getting Help From an Attorney After a Motorcycle Accident

    Motorcycle accident victims often face unique challenges when going up against insurance companies. Often, the involved parties have preconceived ideas about motorcyclists. Also, a motorcycle accident victim may not remember the details of what happened due to the severity of the accident.

    A personal injury lawyer who regularly represents motorcycle accident victims can overcome these obstacles with an aggressive investigation to prove the at-fault party’s liability. 

    While a lawyer is investigating the collision, they can also ensure that their client is being examined and treated by medical and financial professionals who can calculate the total value of their case. Armed with that information, the attorney can negotiate with the involved insurance companies to recover fair compensation on their client’s behalf.

    Determining Liability in Your Avondale Collision

    Even if you know the accident wasn’t your fault, it can be challenging to prove who or what did cause it. The cause of an accident isn’t always apparent at first. Perhaps a fatigued truck driver caused the collision, or maybe someone’s brakes failed due to a manufacturer defect. Investigating the crash scene can often help pinpoint what happened. 

    Ideally, the Avondale Police Department or another local law enforcement agency will investigate the scene of the accident and piece together exactly what happened. A local motorcycle lawyer can also assist you in investigating the crash to determine fault. 

    Here are some examples of parties that may be to blame for your injuries:

    • Distracted driver
    • Reckless driver
    • Intoxicated driver 
    • Careless mechanic 
    • Negligent manufacturing company 
    • Negligent government entity

    Dealing With the Other Party’s Insurance Company

    While recovering from a severe motorcycle injury, you are probably too overwhelmed to worry about handling every aspect of your claim. You should be focusing on your recovery, not battling with insurance adjusters. An Avondale motorcycle accident lawyer from our firm can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.

    Our skilled lawyers know how to negotiate with the other party’s insurer to get the settlement you need. Insurance companies often work hard against you to avoid paying out on your claim. They know that a motorcycle accident tends to be serious, and that means they could owe you a substantial amount of money for your losses. 

    The stakes are high in these cases, which is one of the main reasons to consider hiring a personal injury lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accidents. Please keep in mind that insurance companies have time limits and typically expect you to file the claim within a day or two of the accident.

    Time Limit for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Arizona

    In Arizona, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Some exceptions may apply when it takes longer than a year for an accident victim to realize an injury has occurred. However, this scenario would be challenging to prove and rarely applies in motorcycle accident cases.

    The two-year time limit for filing civil lawsuits for personal injury or wrongful death, as outlined in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-542, is meant to help ensure the integrity of witness testimony and physical evidence.

    Statutes of limitations are set forth to ensure that claims are made while evidence is still fresh and to prevent the ongoing threat of an impending lawsuit long after the incident in question.

    This was the 1st time I’ve used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

    Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

    Financial Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident in Arizona

    After a bad accident, you will likely be faced with exorbitant medical bills and lost wages (if you were working before the accident). While no amount of money can make up for your injuries, a fair settlement or court award can help you pay your bills and move forward. 

    A favorable settlement or award can reimburse you for losses, including:

    • Past and future medical expenses
    • Lost wages and future earning capacity
    • Pain and suffering
    • Scarring and disfigurement
    • Mental trauma
    • Physical rehabilitation costs
    • Diminished quality of life
    • Damage to your bike
    • Wrongful death 
    • Punitive damages

    Be sure to discuss your motorcycle accident with an experienced attorney before accepting any insurance settlement. Often, insurance companies will try to blame the accident on you or devalue your case in some way to save money. Our Avondale motorcycle accident attorneys will fight to increase your financial award so that you can experience real justice and closure.

    Example Settlements From Our Motorcycle Lawyers

    Every accident is unique, and the compensation you may be entitled to will depend on the specifics of your case, such as the severity of your injuries. That having been said, here are some examples of results we’ve gotten in past motorcycle accident cases:

    • Motorcycle injury accident: $1,100,000: In this case, our client was riding his motorcycle when another driver hit him. Fortunately, our client has recovered from the severe injuries he sustained.
    • Wrongful death motorcycle accident: $1,065,000: In this litigation settlement, our client was initially offered zero dollars, but with our help, recovered $1,065,000 for wrongful death.

    Individual results will, of course, vary. However, in general, accident victims represented by an experienced attorney receive much larger settlements than those who try to navigate the claims process alone. Even after your attorney gets a percentage, you will almost always walk away with substantially more money than you would have gotten on your own.
