Statute of Limitations: 2 Years
Most claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of injury. Missing this deadline will permanently bar your case.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Phoenix and Across Arizona
Arizona's roads are a haven for riders — but also full of drivers who 'didn't see' you. We fight insurance bias and recover what riders deserve.
Arizona's beautiful weather makes it a haven for motorcycle riders — but it also means motorcyclists face unique dangers on our roads. Drivers often fail to see motorcyclists, and when they don't, the consequences are devastating.
Motorcycle riders deserve attorneys who understand the bias riders face and who fight to ensure they're treated fairly. Saguaro Injury Law has represented motorcycle riders across the Phoenix metro for years, from West Valley commuters to weekend riders heading north to the high country.
We know how to counter insurer narratives that blame the rider, work with reconstruction experts familiar with two-wheel dynamics, and present injuries fairly to juries.

Arizona Legal Info You Should Know
Helmet Law
Helmets required only for riders under 18 in Arizona. Not wearing one is not automatically negligence — but may affect head injury damages.
Lane Splitting Is Illegal
Lane splitting and lane filtering are not permitted in Arizona. If you were doing so, it can affect — but rarely defeats — your claim.
Pure Comparative Fault
There is no automatic fault assumption against motorcyclists. Each case is judged on its facts.
