Motorcycle Crashes

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
26 years of experience, expertise and results

Motorcycle crashes are frequently complex as the injuries are serious and insurance adjusters do not understand the physics of operating a motorcycle. Alex & Gaxiola has successfully represented motorcycle clients for over 26 years obtaining outstanding results.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
MOTORCYCLE CRASHES

In Arizona there are approximately 3,000 motorcycle crashes every year. Worse, there was an alarming 123 fatal motorcycle crashes in 2009, and the percentage of motorcycle crashes to all motor vehicle accidents is on the rise.

Although the motorcycle community is experiencing astounding growth, car and truck drivers continue to be unaware of their presence on the road. Remarkably, insurance company attempt to blame the motorcyclist for the accident and injuries. Alex & Gaxiola, motorcycle accident attorneys, has been setting the record straight for over 26 years while obtaining remarkable recoveries for our clients.

WHAT TO DO AFTER A MOTORCYCLE CRASH

Motorcycle crashes victims are often immediately transported to an emergency room. You may not have the opportunity to explain what happened to the investigating police officer. The police officer is likely to obtain the facts of the accident from the other driver, the driver's passenger, or witnesses who may not tell or know the complete story. The police investigation may be inaccurate and jeopardize your claim. Motorcycle crashes are almost never routine and are vigorously defended by insurance companies.

It is important that you or a family member retain experienced motorcycle accident attorneys at the earliest possible time. Alex & Gaxiola will send an investigator to interview all the witnesses while the accident is fresh in their memory.

An accident reconstructionist will visit the accident scene to measure and compare his finding to the traffic accident report. Often times physical evidence at the scene such as debris, tire marks and other witness marks are overlooked by the investigating officer. Our experts scientifically establish the dynamics of the accident and who was at fault. Most of the time, it is the motorist that was careless or reckless in causing motorcycle crashes.
