Motorcycle crashes aren’t like regular fender benders. When a rider goes down, the damage is often immediate, serious, and life-altering. You don’t have a steel frame or airbags protecting you. One reckless move from a driver who didn’t see you—or didn’t bother to look—and your life can change in seconds.
If that’s what just happened to you, you’re likely in pain, overwhelmed, and unsure about what comes next. You’re dealing with more than a wrecked bike. You’re facing medical bills, missed work, and the anxiety of not knowing whether your future is secure. It’s not just the crash that hurts—it’s everything that follows.
Motorcycle riders are exposed. There’s no buffer between your body and the pavement, other vehicles, or roadside hazards. Even a low-speed impact can cause serious injuries. Emergency surgery, long hospital stays, and months of rehab are common. So is the psychological trauma that comes with reliving the crash every time you close your eyes or hear a horn.
After a crash, it’s easy to feel like no one’s really on your side. Insurance companies might seem polite at first—but their job is to pay you as little as possible. You don’t need to take them on alone. You need someone who understands what you’re facing and knows how to fight back.
Torgenson Law is here to help you make sense of the chaos and take back control. We don’t just explain your rights—we act on them. When you call us, we step in immediately to protect your claim, preserve evidence, and get you on the path to recovery.
Choosing the right law firm after a crash isn’t just about credentials—it’s about trust. You need a team that treats your case like it matters. At Torgenson Law, we handle motorcycle accident claims the way we’d want our own handled: with urgency, empathy, and grit.
We don’t push you off to a case manager or an assistant. From your first call, you’ll talk to an actual lawyer—the person who will handle your case from beginning to end. That connection matters. You won’t have to chase us down for answers or wonder what’s happening with your case.
Insurance companies pay attention when they know you’re ready to take them to court. That’s why we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. We pull crash reports, interview witnesses, secure black box data, and bring in accident reconstruction experts when needed. Our preparation sends a clear message: if you don’t offer what our client truly needs, we’ll see you in court.
Our team doesn’t come from big corporate law backgrounds. We come from working-class families who know what it means to get knocked down—and get back up. When we say we take your case personally, we mean it. We don’t just want a settlement. We want accountability, justice, and the resources you need to move forward.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you call us. We’ll listen to what happened, walk you through your options, and explain what we can do to help. The consultation is free, and there’s no pressure. If we take your case, you don’t pay us unless we win.
Motorcycle crashes come with a higher risk of catastrophic injury—and a lower chance of fair treatment. Riders often face not only physical trauma but also uphill battles with insurance adjusters who see motorcycles as risky. These cases require experienced legal guidance from day one to avoid being shortchanged or blamed for someone else’s mistake.
There’s no metal cage or safety belt to shield a rider. When a car hits a motorcycle, the rider is often thrown from the bike or crushed in the impact. That leads to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, shattered bones, and more. These aren’t scrapes and bruises—they’re life-altering injuries that can end careers or independence.
And it’s not just the physical pain. It’s the emotional trauma, the lost time with family, and the fear of what comes next.
There’s a dangerous stereotype that all motorcyclists are reckless or aggressive. We know that’s not true—but insurance companies and even some juries can carry that bias. They may assume you were speeding or weaving through traffic, even when the evidence says otherwise.
We fight hard to push back on that bias. We gather every piece of evidence—from surveillance footage to witness statements—to prove that your crash wasn’t your fault. You have a right to the road, and you have a right to be taken seriously.
Understanding how these crashes happen is key to proving who’s at fault—and getting justice. Every detail matters, from the direction of impact to the conditions of the road. The sooner the facts are gathered, the stronger your case will be.
One of the most common motorcycle accidents happens when a car turns left across your lane. The driver says, “I didn’t see them.” But that’s not an excuse. It’s negligence. Drivers are supposed to look before they turn, and failure to do so is a leading cause of serious motorcycle injuries.
Changing lanes without looking is dangerous with any vehicle—but when a car merges into your lane and you’re on a bike, it can be deadly. Motorcycles are smaller and easier to miss, but drivers still have a legal duty to check.
Distracted and impaired drivers are a deadly risk to motorcyclists. Whether they’re checking a phone, under the influence, or just not paying attention, these drivers rob you of your safety—and sometimes, your future.
Potholes, loose gravel, uneven surfaces, and poor signage can be especially hazardous for motorcycles. When a government entity fails to maintain safe road conditions, they can be held accountable too. We investigate whether the crash was caused—or worsened—by a dangerous roadway.
When you’re involved in a motorcycle crash, one of the first questions that matters is: who was at fault? The answer affects everything—whether you can file a claim, how much you can recover, and how long the process may take. Arizona’s laws don’t just apply to cars—they apply to motorcycles, too, and understanding how fault is determined could make or break your case.
In Arizona, the person who caused the crash is the one responsible for paying damages. This is known as an “at-fault” system. If a distracted driver swerved into your lane or a speeding SUV clipped your back tire, they—and their insurance company—are legally on the hook for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
But don’t expect their insurer to admit fault easily. These companies work hard to protect their bottom line. They may downplay your injuries or claim you were the one who caused the crash. That’s why having a legal team that knows how to investigate, gather evidence, and push back is essential.
Arizona follows a rule called “pure comparative negligence.” That means even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover compensation. Your total award is just reduced by the percentage of blame assigned to you.
For example, if you were going slightly over the speed limit when someone turned in front of you, a court might find you 10% responsible. If your total damages were $100,000, you’d still recover $90,000. The other party doesn’t get a free pass just because you made a mistake—they’re still held accountable for their share.
This is one of the reasons it’s so important to call an attorney early. The sooner we get involved, the more control we have over how fault is assigned—and how much compensation you may be entitled to.
If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, you don’t have to navigate the legal process alone. Our experienced attorneys are available 24/7 to provide a free consultation and help you pursue the compensation you need.
The moments after a motorcycle accident are confusing, chaotic, and painful. But what you do—or don’t do—can have a major impact on your recovery and your case. Even if you’re shaken up or unsure, taking the right steps now can protect your future.
Adrenaline hides pain. What feels like a sore shoulder today could turn out to be a fractured collarbone or torn ligament. Always go to the ER, urgent care, or your doctor as soon as possible.
Insurance companies look closely at whether you sought medical treatment and how quickly you did it. Waiting too long can give them ammunition to claim your injuries aren’t serious or weren’t caused by the crash.
If you’re able, take photos of the scene, your bike, your injuries, and anything else that could be helpful. Get a copy of the police report. Hold onto every piece of documentation—hospital bills, prescription receipts, physical therapy records, and anything else tied to the accident.
This paper trail becomes the backbone of your claim. The more detailed your records, the harder it is for the insurance company to poke holes in your story.
The other driver’s insurance company might call within hours or days of the crash. They may seem helpful, even sympathetic. But make no mistake—they are not on your side. Anything you say can be used against you. A simple “I’m doing okay” can later be twisted into “you weren’t really hurt.”
Before you give a statement, sign any documents, or accept a check, talk to a lawyer. Once we’re on your case, the insurance companies have to go through us—not you. That’s how you avoid their traps and protect your claim.
Most people assume the other driver is the only one to blame. But motorcycle accidents often involve multiple parties. Identifying everyone who contributed to the crash helps us hold them accountable—and helps you recover everything you’re owed.
This one’s obvious. If another driver was speeding, texting, drifting between lanes, or failing to yield, they’re responsible. We look at phone records, dashcam footage, traffic cameras, and witness statements to build the case against them.
But even when fault seems clear, insurance companies will fight back. They may argue you “came out of nowhere” or weren’t visible. We fight those assumptions with hard evidence.
Uneven pavement. Missing signage. Dangerous curves with no guardrails. If poor road conditions contributed to your crash, a city or county agency may be partially at fault.
Claims against the government follow special rules and shorter deadlines. That’s why it’s so important to act quickly—we need to preserve your right to sue before time runs out.
Sometimes, it’s not a person who caused the crash—it’s a faulty part. Defective tires, brake failure, or a malfunctioning throttle can send even the most experienced rider into a skid. If a manufacturer cut corners or released a dangerous product, they can—and should—be held accountable.
These cases require expert analysis and in-depth investigation, but we know how to take them on. You shouldn’t have to suffer because a company put profits ahead of safety.
Motorcycle injuries are almost always serious. Riders don’t walk away with minor bruises—they get rushed to the ER. The pain is real. The recovery is long. And the costs add up fast. These injuries don’t just affect your body—they impact your job, your relationships, and your independence. Getting fair compensation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Even with a helmet, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a leading consequence of motorcycle wrecks. These can range from concussions to permanent cognitive impairment. TBIs affect memory, balance, mood, and even personality. Many victims need long-term therapy or can’t return to work.
When you’re thrown from a bike, the pavement becomes sandpaper. Severe road rash isn’t just a scrape—it’s a deep, painful injury that can lead to infection, skin grafts, and permanent scarring. It’s not just cosmetic—it’s disabling.
Crushed vertebrae, slipped discs, and spinal cord trauma can rob you of movement. Paralysis, whether partial or full, is one of the most devastating outcomes. These injuries require lifelong medical care and often force major changes in your daily life and career.
Broken legs, shattered wrists, fractured ribs—these are common and painful. But when the breaks are complex, they can require surgery, months of recovery, and leave you with lasting pain or limited mobility. These aren’t “clean breaks”—they’re life-changing injuries that affect your ability to ride, work, or even walk.
The aftermath of a motorcycle crash isn’t just about physical recovery—it’s about making sure you have the financial support to rebuild your life. You shouldn’t have to absorb the cost of someone else’s mistake. Arizona law gives you the right to pursue full compensation for every way this crash has disrupted your life.
Emergency care is just the beginning. After a serious crash, you may need surgeries, physical therapy, specialist visits, mobility devices, and long-term care. These costs add up fast, and insurance rarely covers everything. We fight to recover compensation not just for the bills you’ve already received—but for the future care you’ll need months or years from now.
We also bring in medical experts to help estimate the full scope of your recovery. If your injuries require ongoing treatment, your settlement should reflect that.
If your injuries kept you out of work, you can seek compensation for every paycheck you missed. If they affect your ability to return to your job—or to work at all—you may also be entitled to future lost income. That includes promotions you would’ve earned, raises you missed out on, and long-term financial impact.
Our team works with financial experts to calculate the full value of your economic losses so that no opportunity is left on the table.
Not all losses are financial. The pain you feel every day. The anxiety that keeps you off the road. The moments with your family you miss because of recovery or trauma. Arizona law allows you to recover damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
We’ll help document how the crash changed your daily life—because these non-economic damages are real, and they matter just as much as the hospital bills.
Motorcycle crash claims are different—and harder. It’s not just about dealing with more severe injuries. It’s about overcoming bias, misinformation, and insurance tactics that are stacked against you from the start. Riders who walk away from a crash with their lives often still face months or years of recovery—and a system that doesn’t always give them the benefit of the doubt.
That’s where we come in. At Torgenson Law, we know how to navigate these challenges and build a case that gets results. Here’s what makes these claims so complicated—and how we fight to level the playing field.
Motorcyclists are often seen as risk-takers, even when they’ve done everything right. That perception bleeds into insurance investigations, affecting how claims are evaluated and paid out. Adjusters may downplay your injuries, question your decisions, or assume the crash was your fault.
We reject those assumptions outright. Our job is to shift the narrative—to show clearly and decisively that you were the victim, not the cause. We use evidence, expert testimony, and deep case preparation to break through bias and demand accountability.
Initial police reports don’t always capture the full story. Officers may overlook details, rely on incomplete witness statements, or fail to understand how motorcycle dynamics differ from car accidents. These early missteps can have serious consequences if not corrected.
That’s why we conduct our own thorough investigation. From traffic footage to crash scene analysis, we piece together what really happened—then build a fact-based case to support it.
Insurance companies don’t just need a story—they need proof. That’s where our team of crash reconstructionists, medical experts, and vocational analysts come in. They provide authoritative insight into how the crash happened, how your injuries occurred, and how those injuries will affect your life. Their voices add weight to your claim. And when it’s your future on the line, that weight makes all the difference.
The more complex the case, the more important it is to have a team that knows how to handle it. That’s why the work doesn’t stop here.
Insurance companies are built to protect their own interests—not yours. If you’re waiting for them to do the right thing, you’ll be waiting a long time. At Torgenson Law, we don’t wait. We go to work immediately, building a case that forces them to take you seriously. Because when your recovery is on the line, you need more than a lawyer. You need a team that builds cases like lives depend on them—because they do.
Every case we handle is built like it’s going to trial. That’s not just a strategy—it’s our standard. Preparing from day one ensures that we’re never caught off guard, and that the other side knows we won’t be pushed around. This level of readiness often leads to stronger settlement offers early on. But if we need to go to court, we’re already steps ahead.
The clock starts ticking the moment the crash happens. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Witnesses forget key details. Vehicles are repaired or scrapped. That’s why we move immediately to preserve the evidence that matters.
Our team issues preservation letters to at-fault parties and their insurance carriers. We visit the crash scene, review traffic camera footage, and photograph skid marks, debris fields, and road conditions. If there’s black box data or dashcam footage available, we get it. The more we lock down early, the stronger your claim becomes.
Your injuries tell a story—and we make sure it’s backed by undeniable proof. We work closely with trusted medical experts to document the full scope of your injuries, treatment, and prognosis. If your mobility is limited, if you’ve suffered a brain injury, or if your pain keeps you from doing what you love, we make sure that’s front and center.
Crash reconstruction experts help us show how the wreck occurred, using science and physical evidence to prove fault. They analyze vehicle angles, point of impact, braking distances, and visibility to build a credible, fact-based version of events that insurance companies can’t ignore.
After a crash, it’s not just about hospital bills and body shops. It’s about everything that’s changed. Your routines, your career, your relationships, your mental health. We make sure the full impact of your injuries is documented, both economic and non-economic.
We gather statements from your doctors, family members, coworkers, and even friends. We present journals and day-in-the-life accounts that show how your injuries affect you in real ways. Our goal isn’t just to win your case—it’s to tell your story in a way that demands justice.
We don’t believe in “good enough” settlements. We don’t take shortcuts. We build strong, trial-ready cases that give our clients the best chance at real recovery.
Motorcycle accidents leave more than physical damage—they leave questions. You want to know what comes next, how the law works, and what your options really are. These are some of the questions we hear most often from riders who call us.
In Arizona, the general deadline to file a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident. But don’t wait. Evidence can disappear quickly, and some cases—like those involving government entities—have shorter deadlines.
The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can protect your rights.
You can still file a claim. Arizona law only requires helmets for riders under 18. If you’re over 18 and weren’t wearing one, that doesn’t automatically hurt your case. However, the insurance company may try to use it against you, especially if you suffered a head injury.
We know how to counter those arguments and keep the focus where it belongs—on the person who caused the crash.
No citation doesn’t mean no fault. Police don’t always issue tickets at the scene, especially if they didn’t witness the crash. But liability isn’t decided by a traffic ticket—it’s decided by evidence.
We build independent investigations that go beyond what’s in the report. Whether the other driver was cited or not, we fight to prove how their actions caused your injuries.
You still have options. If the driver who hit you didn’t have insurance—or didn’t have enough—you may be able to file a claim through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of policy can help cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages when the at-fault party can’t pay.
We review your insurance policy in detail and help you file the right claims so you’re not left covering the cost of someone else’s irresponsibility.
Yes. Motorcycle passengers have just as much right to compensation as riders. If you were injured while riding as a passenger, you can file a claim against the driver who caused the crash—whether it was the motorcyclist or another vehicle.
We’ll help determine who was responsible and make sure you’re included in the recovery process every step of the way.
Hit-and-run crashes are devastating, but you’re not out of options. If the driver can’t be identified, your own uninsured motorist coverage may still provide compensation. These cases require quick action to track down surveillance footage, eyewitnesses, and other leads before the trail goes cold.
We move fast to investigate and preserve your right to compensation—even when the at-fault driver disappears.
You’ve been through the worst—and now it’s time to take back control. If someone else’s negligence put you in the hospital, sidelined you from work, or left you wondering how to move forward, you don’t have to carry that weight alone. At Torgenson Law, we’re ready to step in and fight for everything you’re owed.
We don’t play games with insurance companies. We don’t settle for less than what your injuries are truly worth. From the moment you call us, we take your case seriously—because your recovery, your future, and your peace of mind are personal to us.
Our team knows Arizona law. We know the courts, the insurers, the tactics, and most importantly, we know what it takes to win motorcycle accident cases. We’ve helped riders across Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, and beyond get the compensation they needed to rebuild their lives.
Reach out to Torgenson Law today. We’re ready to take your case personally.
