Motorcycle Accidents in Arizona
Motorcycles are often thought of as cool and fun vehicles to travel and or simply drive around town. However, motorcyclists can experience much higher risks than other vehicles due to being smaller and less visible. Motorcycle accidents are one of the most dangerous types of accidents that can be experienced on the road.
Individuals who become victims of motorcycle accidents tend to experience some of the worst injuries and damages possible, especially compared to auto accidents, due to motorcyclists’ vulnerability on the road. Oftentimes, motorcycle accidents happen due to the negligence of other vehicles on the road or due to hazardous conditions. If you or a family member has recently been in a motorcycle accident in Arizona, you may be entitled to compensation. Continue reading to learn more about your options as a victim of a motorcycle accident.
Factors That Play Into Motorcycle Accidents
There are many things that can be attributed to causing motorcycle accidents. Factors that lead to a motorcycle accident may include:
- Low visibility: motorcycle riders are harder to see for other vehicles because of their size. Drivers have an especially difficult time seeing motorcycles at intersections.
- Driver carelessness: another common cause of motorcycle accidents is that other drivers on the road do not drive safely and/or do not give motorcyclists the respect they deserve. Common acts of carelessness include not signaling, following too closely, and simply driving recklessly.
- Less protective gear: one thing that tends to make motorcycle accidents more severe is that there is less protection of the rider than a person would have if they were traveling in a car. Helmets and padding helps, but it’s still not the same.
- Inadequate skills: motorcycles require certain skills to drive them in a safe manner. Sometimes accidents occur because drivers do not have the proper skills, have not been driving for long or do not have proper experience, and/or because they drive in a reckless way.
- Hazardous conditions: the last common reason why motorcycle accidents happen is due to hazardous conditions including uneven surfaces, wet asphalt, the weather, and other debris on the road.
Options For Motorcycle Accident Victims
Motorcyclists who have been injured in a motorcycle accident due to another driver’s negligence are entitled to pursue compensation. Oftentimes, victims will reach out to insurance companies to receive compensation that will pay for their medical bills, mental and physical pain, and for damages to their motorcycle. However, insurance companies will often try to do anything that they can to avoid having to pay out to victims of accidents.
That is why it is important to have a qualified motorcycle attorney on your side to fight for the compensation that you rightfully deserve. Your attorney will have to prove that you were less than 50% to blame for the accident, which means that it is important to find an attorney that is thorough and efficient. We at Lebaron & Jensen may be a good resource for legal solutions, as we will be able to sift through information including photos, witness testimonies, and more to support your case.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
