Yes. Bicycle accidents frequently cause serious, life-altering injuries that lead to physical, emotional, and financial problems. It is important to hire an experienced Phoenix bicycle accident lawyer before speaking with the insurance companies. Insurance companies try to trick you into settling your bicycle accident legal claim before you know the full extent of your personal injuries and damages. Gage Mathers Law Group has a team of experienced attorneys who will fight to get you the injury compensation you deserve for your bicycle accident.
Our bicycle accident lawyer will guide you through the legal process of your personal case, including:
In Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of your bicycle accident to take legal action seeking compensation for the crash. However, your deadline to act drops to 180 days if a state or local entity is responsible for your accident. For example, if you are hit on your bicycle by a police car. There are some exceptions for minors and disabled people. We always recommend hiring an experienced lawyer early because it can take time to investigate your personal legal claim, gather evidence, review documents, interview witnesses, and consult with experts about your bicycle injuries, if needed.
Arizona allows bike accident injury victims to pursue both economic and non-economic damages.
Bicyclists have rights when out on the roads of Phoenix and everywhere in Arizona. “I did not see the bike” is not an excuse for an accident. You have the same rights as other motorists on the Phoenix roadway.
That said, bicyclists are required to follow the rules of the Phoenix road. This means that you can be found partially at fault for causing a bike accident. In Arizona this is known as “comparative fault,” meaning that your actions may have contributed to the bicycle crash and are to be compared to the fault of other car drivers in the accident. Thus, when insurance adjusters, defense lawyers, or a jury is evaluating your claim, the value will be reduced by your percentage of fault for the accident. Therefore, it is important that you have an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands all of the rights and responsibilities of bicyclists in Arizona to help advocate for you.

The vast majority of bike accidents happen at intersections, usually because a car driver does not yield to the cyclist or acknowledge their existence. Bicyclists share the roads with cars and trucks, so bicycle riders must be careful when riding on roadways. Cyclists should pay careful attention when merging, turning, or stopping. Bicycles are vulnerable to collisions with larger, faster vehicles, making long straightaways another common location for bicycle accidents.
Some of the most common causes of bike accidents on Phoenix roads are:
In a perfect world, bicycles and motor vehicles would never crash; but this is not a perfect world. Drivers often have their attention diverted or split between tasks, even when driving. Many car and truck drivers don’t even consider the possibility of bicyclists on the Phoenix roadway.
Worse yet, our Phoenix communities do a poor job of providing safe riding lanes or clear road conditions. Many areas lack proper signage. Too many areas lack adequate protection and safeguards against bicycle accidents.
If your bike accident and subsequent injuries are a result of one of the above reasons, you may be able to file a personal injury claim for your accident injuries and losses. A skilled Phoenix personal injury attorney from Gage Mathers Law Group will guide you through the claims process, thoroughly investigate your bike accident, advocate for you, and fight to get you the maximum compensation you deserve for your bicycle injuries.
Our experienced Phoenix bicycle accident lawyer handles all types of bicycle injury cases. Some bike accidents cause relatively minor injuries, like road rash and sprains, while most accidents cause catastrophic injuries like broken bones and brain injury.
