What sets our motorcycle accident lawyers apart?
Motorcycle accidents are often the result of other drivers’ negligence, such as distracted or reckless behavior. However, multiple factors can contribute to these crashes, including road conditions, visibility challenges, and motorcyclist actions.
Below are some of the most frequent causes we encounter throughout Tucson:
Regardless of the cause, our legal team is experienced in thoroughly investigating each accident, collecting vital evidence, and holding negligent parties accountable.
While motorcyclists often wear protective gear like helmets, they lack the added safety features found in cars, such as airbags, seatbelts, and reinforced frames. This vulnerability means that even low-speed collisions can result in severe and life-altering injuries.
Our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys in Tucson assist victims in recovering compensation for a wide range of injuries commonly sustained in motorcycle crashes, including:
If you or a loved one is facing the aftermath of such injuries, our legal team is dedicated to helping you seek full compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care, lost income, and emotional suffering.
In motorcycle accident claims, the party at fault is responsible for compensating you for your injuries and related damages. Your Tucson motorcycle accident lawyer will gather the necessary evidence to establish liability and review the at-fault party’s insurance coverage to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule under A.R.S. § 12‑2505, which means you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault for an accident. For instance, if you are found to be 20% responsible, you may still recover 80% of your total damages.
Several key factors can influence liability in motorcycle accident cases, including:
We are experienced in building strong cases, even when fault is shared or unclear. The sooner we get involved, the better we can preserve evidence to protect your claim and maximize your recovery.
The moments after a crash can be overwhelming. Taking the right steps can help protect your health, safety, and case. Here’s what you should do to protect your health and your legal rights:
Your safety comes first. Even if injuries seem minor, get evaluated—some conditions, like internal bleeding or TBI, may not be obvious.
Take photos of the road, vehicles, visible injuries, and anything else that might help later. If you’re unable, ask someone to assist.
An official report provides documentation and can support your claim later on.
Don’t wait to get legal guidance. The sooner you involve an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, the stronger your case will be.

A serious motorcycle accident can affect every part of your life physically, emotionally, and financially. At Shapiro Law Team, we fight for every dollar you’re entitled to. Compensation in Arizona motorcycle accident claims can include:
These cover out-of-pocket financial losses, both now and in the future:
These cover the personal impact of an accident:
In rare cases, such as a DUI crash or extreme recklessness, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter future conduct in the case of gross negligence.
We take time to understand the full impact of your injuries so we can accurately calculate both current and future losses.
Insurance adjusters often don’t have your best interests at heart. Their tactics are designed to reduce or deny your claim, not to ensure you get what you deserve.
At Shapiro Law Team, our Tucson motorcycle accident lawyers know how insurance companies operate, and we don’t back down. From day one, our trial-ready team builds a strong case that puts pressure on insurers to take your claim seriously.
Common Insurance Tactics We Confront:
How We Respond:
We’ve helped riders recover the compensation they deserve after serious crashes. Here are a few examples of recent case results:
Our case results demonstrate what’s possible with the right legal representation. Every case is different, but your case matters.
Yes. Arizona law only requires helmets for riders under 18. Not wearing one may affect the value of your claim, but it doesn’t eliminate your right to recover compensation.
Yes. Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule, which means your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation, but you can still recover damages.
You can still file a claim against the at-fault driver. However, not having your coverage may be cause for a citation for driving while uninsured. But seeking legal representation is still in your best interest.
According to the Arizona statute of limitations, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. So, contact a motorcycle accident lawyer in Tucson right away.
Most motorcycle accident cases settle outside of the courtroom, but our team prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This ensures we’re ready for any scenario and can negotiate from a position of strength.
At Shapiro Law Team, there are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, so you don’t pay unless we win.
