What if I was jaywalking or crossing against the signal?

You can still recover under comparative fault. Your share of fault reduces — but does not eliminate — recovery.

What if I wasn't wearing a helmet on my bike?

Arizona law does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Lack of a helmet may affect head-injury damages but does not bar your case.

What if it was a hit-and-run?

Your own auto policy's UM coverage often applies. We pursue every available source — and law enforcement to identify the driver.

What if I was hit by an Uber/Lyft driver?

Rideshare companies carry $1M liability coverage when drivers are on a trip. We pursue both the driver and the rideshare insurance.

Are pedestrian and bicycle cases worth more than typical car accidents?

Often yes, because injuries are typically far more severe — but value depends on the specific facts and damages. Every case is different.

How does the 3-foot passing rule apply to my bicycle case?

Arizona drivers must give cyclists at least 3 feet of clearance when passing. A violation is strong evidence of negligence and supports your claim.

What if I was using a crosswalk against a 'Don't Walk' signal?

You can still recover under pure comparative fault. The driver still had a duty to look. Your share of fault simply reduces — not eliminates — recovery.

I was hit while riding an e-bike or scooter — do the same rules apply?

Arizona treats e-bikes and electric scooters under specific rules. Liability still turns on negligence and right-of-way. We handle all micro-mobility injury cases.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Representing Phoenix Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents Victims for 25+ Years

Arizona is one of the most dangerous states in the nation for pedestrians and cyclists. Phoenix consistently ranks among the worst U.S. cities for pedestrian fatalities. When a 4,000-pound vehicle strikes a person walking or biking, the injuries are catastrophic — and the legal complexities are significant.

Drivers and their insurance companies often blame pedestrians and cyclists, claiming they were jaywalking or riding unsafely. Saguaro Injury Law fights these tactics and recovers full compensation for pedestrians and cyclists across the Phoenix metro.

We know Arizona's right-of-way laws, the 3-foot passing rule, and the realities of crosswalk and intersection design — and we use that knowledge to win.
