Motorcycle Injury Law

Your Rights

• Regardless of who is at fault for a motorcycle accident, your insurance company is responsible for paying your initial medical expenses (up to policy limits).
• You are entitled to money to replace lost income from work, or to pay for someone else to complete your household chores if you are unable to do so due to injuries sustained in the motorcycle accident.
• If your bike is damaged in a motorcycle accident, and it requires repair or replacement, you are entitled to a rental car if you are not at fault.
• Semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles have a greater duty to be careful on the roadways and are often more responsible for injuries and damages that they cause from improper driving.
• If you are injured, you are entitled to money for past, present and future pain and suffering. This amount can be limited depending on which state you live. However, in Arizona, there is no specific limitation on the amounts you can recover for pain and suffering.
• Even in non-motor vehicle accidents, if you are injured as a result of someone else's negligence, you are entitled to money to compensate you for pain and suffering.
