No protection, just impact. Riders are exposed, so even “low-speed” collisions cause serious injuries, TBI, spinal damage, fractures, facial trauma. High-visibility gear helps, but it can’t overcome a distracted or aggressive driver. These aren’t “freak accidents” they’re preventable choices.

Bicycles are treated as vehicles; cyclists have the same rights and duties as drivers.
Right-of-way rules protect cyclists in lanes and crosswalks; drivers must yield, check mirrors, and look before opening doors.
Helmets are required for minors in some locales; not required for adults. Lack of a helmet doesn’t bar a claim.
Comparative negligence: you can recover even if you’re partly at fault; compensation is reduced by your percentage.
We keep the focus where it belongs on the driver’s duty and breach.

Yes. Arizona law only requires helmets for cyclists under the age of 18. If you’re an adult and weren’t wearing one, that does not prevent you from filing a claim or recovering compensation.
However, insurance companies may still try to argue that your injuries could have been prevented with a helmet—especially in cases involving head trauma. We push back hard on these tactics. The focus should be on the driver’s negligence, not your gear. Whether you wore a helmet or not, you had every right to be on the road and every right to be safe.
Hit-and-run crashes are more common than most people realize—and they’re especially devastating for cyclists. But even if the driver fled the scene, you still have options.
If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, it may cover your injuries even when the at-fault driver can’t be identified. These cases move quickly, and evidence disappears fast, so it’s important to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. We work quickly to preserve camera footage, interview witnesses, and explore every avenue for tracking down the driver or filing a UM claim on your behalf.
In Arizona, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. That might sound like a long time, but the clock starts ticking immediately—and some cases have shorter deadlines. Claims against government entities, for example, often have strict notice requirements that must be filed within 180 days.
Even if you think you might share some of the blame, you can still pursue compensation. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means your settlement is reduced by your percentage of fault—but you’re not barred from recovering. For example, if you were found 20% responsible and your damages total $100,000, you could still recover $80,000.
We work hard to reduce any assigned fault and make sure the bulk of responsibility lands where it belongs: with the driver who hit you.
