These facts and figures clearly indicate the roads are not safe for Arizona motorcycle operators.  Obviously, injury and fatality rates are much higher on motorcycles, due to the instability of the bikes and less protection between the rider and the road.  Also, it is much harder for motor vehicle operators to see motorcycle riders due to the size of the bikes.  If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident in Arizona it is imperative you take the right steps to ensure you have the best chance to be compensated for your injuries.  Here are some tips to remember: 1)      If you are injured, call 911 first and get medical attention. 2)      Call the police and write down the facts of the accident. 3)      Exchange contact and insurance information with the parties involved. 4)      Take witness statements. 5)      When police arrive, answer all their questions but do not admit fault. Fault in a motorcycle accident hinges on comparative negligence, basically, the percentage of fault for each party involved.  It is imperative you know your legal rights and remedies when involved in a motorcycle accident.  Medical costs and property damage to the bike are generally higher in motorcycle accidents and you may have a right to recover these damages.  Having a lawyer who rides like Dan Marco is a benefit in your motorcycle accident case because he understands the damage to you, your property and your lifestyle.  He has helped several riders recover what they deserve and get them back on the road.  Call or email us for a free consultation at info@mmwazlaw.com or (480) 540-3815.
