Car Accidents
Extreme suffering and loss occurs during car accidents, whether involving motorists, passengers or pedestrians. Even though unsafe roads, mechanical failure, or defective vehicles cause car accidents, most car accidents result from driver irresponsibility—cell phone distractions, drowsiness, drunk driving, not watching the road, etc. Because establishing fault can be complicated and more than one party may be responsible, it is wise to involve a car accident lawyer in your case as soon as possible. Even if you are partially at fault for the accident, based on Arizona’s comparative fault law, you still may be entitled to some compensation for damages.
Motorcycle Accidents
In 2007, motorcycle deaths increased for the tenth straight year. Riding a motorcycle exposes you to impact like no other vehicle, except for a bicycle. Aside from a lack of structure to shield you during collision, an added vulnerability with motorcycles is their low visibility. Sudden acceleration makes a motorcycle appear out of nowhere—or at least it seems so. In addition, larger vehicles such as tractor-trailers, SUVs, and pickup trucks often block the view of a motorcycle. In most instances, the motorist has no clue the motorcycle is there until the crash takes place. Despite these facts, drivers of motor vehicles bear the same responsibility when crashing into a motorcycle as they do with other vehicles.
Truck Accidents
The weight and force of a tractor trailer, semi, or 18 wheeler moving at high speeds create tremendous impact when colliding with a smaller vehicle. Serious injury and vehicle damage is inevitable. Fatalities in such accidents are common. It is also not unusual for trucking company representatives to arrive at the scene of an accident to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and record statements. Alerted by GPS tracking systems or short wave radios, trucking companies act quickly to protect their interests. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, it is very important that you do not delay in contacting an accident lawyer. The trucking company is looking out for their interests, and it is crucial to have someone looking out for yours.
Bike Accidents
Bicycling is a popular sport in Arizona, and many regions have bike lanes, along with urban bike trails to accommodate bikers. However, to get exercise, bicyclists also ride on regular thoroughfares.
Every state has its own specific laws regarding bicycle traffic, and local areas have additional applicable statutes. Arizona State law requires vehicles to leave a safe distance of not less than three feet when passing a bicycle traveling in the same direction until the vehicle has cleared the bicycle. Bicyclists also have the right-of-way. However, a bicyclist must adhere to traffic laws such as riding with the flow of traffic, using bike lanes whenever possible, and stopping at red lights and stop signs.
Despite safety precautions, bike accidents occur. Because bikes afford no protection to soften an impact, bicyclists frequently suffer severe injuries. If facing permanent disability or other serious injury, it is important to know your rights and legal options.
