Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents in the Phoenix Metro

Right-of-way rules Arizona pedestrians have right-of-way in marked and unmarked crosswalks at intersections. Bicyclists generally have the same rights and duties as drivers.

Helmet considerations Arizona has no adult bicycle helmet law. Lack of a helmet does not bar recovery, though it can be raised on damages in head-injury cases.

Hit and run Carry uninsured motorist coverage — it applies to hit-and-run pedestrian and bicycle accidents.

Damages These cases often involve catastrophic injuries — broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury — which means high damages and the need for experienced trial counsel.
