Bicycle accident claims in Arizona
The basics that generally apply, in plain language.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning a person can still recover damages even if mostly at fault, though the amount is reduced by their share of fault. Most personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of injury. These general rules apply to many bicycle accident claims.
This is general information only and not legal advice. An attorney can review the specific facts of your case and advise you on your options.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Arizona?
Generally two years from the date of the injury, though exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Arizona uses pure comparative negligence. You can still recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, though the amount is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Who is usually at fault in a car-bicycle accident?
It depends on the specific circumstances — drivers failing to yield or watch for cyclists is a common factor, but each case is different.
Does it matter if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Helmet use and its effect on a claim can vary by state. It's a good question to raise with a professional familiar with Arizona's rules.
