The short answer — and the structure behind it
Motorcycle accident cases in Arizona are typically handled on a contingency fee, and that structure exists for a reason: after a crash that may have taken your bike, your health, and your ability to work, the last thing an injured rider needs is an hourly legal bill. Under a contingency agreement, the consultation is free, nothing is owed upfront, and the fee is a percentage of the recovery — paid only if there is one.
What the fee actually covers
A motorcycle case is built, not just filed: the crash investigated, the evidence preserved, treatment documented completely, every applicable insurance policy identified — including uninsured and underinsured coverage on your own policy — and the claim valued and negotiated. The contingency fee covers all of that work, however long it takes. If the case isn't won, the fee is nothing.
The question worth asking any firm
Before signing with anyone, it's fair to ask for the fee agreement in writing and to understand how case costs are handled alongside the fee. A firm should be glad to explain both plainly. At Saguaro Injury Law, the terms are put in writing before anything begins, and the first conversation — any hour, in English or Spanish — costs nothing either way.
Why riders in particular shouldn't wait on cost worries
Motorcycle injuries tend to be more serious than car injuries in comparable crashes, which makes the early weeks of documentation matter more, not less. Because the consultation is free and the fee is contingent, cost is never the reason to delay finding out where a claim stands.
