For Bicyclists

  • Being visible;
  • Riding defensively;
  • Using the correct hand signals and obeying all laws;
  • Not riding on the sidewalk;
  • Wearing a helmet to protect your head; and,
  • Riding on the right side of the road.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that there were 783 bicyclists killed on the road in 2017. If a bicyclist and a motorist collide, it is the bicyclist that will suffer the most serious and life-threatening injuries because he or she is not protected by the size and weight of an automobile. If you have been in a bicycle accident, your injuries can range from a sprained hand to a traumatic brain injury impacting you for the rest of your life. As with any injury sustained in an accident, you may not know how badly you are injured until hours or days after the accident.

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

Understanding Arizona Insurance Regulations

Arizona’s insurance laws state that the person who is at fault for the accident is responsible for any injuries and compensable damages that resulted from the accident and does not share liability with the accident victim, as he or she would in a no-fault car insurance state.

Speaking with the Insurance Company

When you report the claim to the driver’s insurance company, give it the information it needs to document the accident but do not admit guilt. If they want you to record a statement, you have the right to refuse. It may also try to dissuade you from contacting an attorney or offer to pay you money if you sign a release. Do nothing until you speak to an attorney.

They may purposefully delay responding to your emails, letters, or phone calls. They can ask for your medical records and look at your social media pages. They may try to blame you for your own injuries. Before consenting to anything the insurance company requests, speak with your Mesa bicycle accident lawyer.

Recoverable Damages in a Bicycle Accident

If you were seriously injured in a bicycle accident, you may be able to file a claim for the damages you experienced in the accident, including:

  • Your current medical expenses, including the cost of medical supplies and assistive devices, costs related to hospital stays, medical appointments, transportation to and from medical appointments, expenses related to rehabilitative or therapeutic interventions, and prescription medications;
  • Your future medical expenses;
  • Your current lost wages;
  • Your future lost wages;
  • Cost of hiring household help if you cannot perform your regular household duties; and,
  • The cost of job retraining if you cannot return to your prior employment.

Your attorney will help you determine the value of your damages and property losses to make sure you have included everything.
