Causes of motorcycle accidents in Arizona cover a wide range. Learn more

Motorcycle accidents in Arizona happen for many reasons. The causes of motorcycle accidents cover a wide range. And at Israel & Gerity, PLLC, we believe strongly that no two accidents are alike. Every one is unique – just like you.

But of the 2,980 motorcycle accidents in 2011 in Arizona, there were some general similarities between these accidents, according to data compiled by the Arizona Department of Transportation.

How motorcycle accidents can happen

The number one cause of motorcycle accidents is a collision with a motor vehicle. In 2011, a total of 1,436 accidents – more than 48 percent – of all motorcycle accidents could be traced back to a crash involving a motor vehicle. When these accidents occur, the other driver may try to blame the accident on the motorcyclist, even if the driver of the car caused the accident.

Motorcycles colliding with a fixed object resulted in 370 accidents in Arizona in 2010, the second highest cause of accidents in the state that year. The third highest cause: overturning motorcycles, which accounted for 357 accidents statewide in 2010.
