Arizona Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Hit while riding in Arizona? We fight the insurance company so you can focus on healing.
Complimentary consultation with an Arizona motorcycle accident lawyer.
Why injured Arizonans call us first.
Motorcycle injuries are different — they're catastrophic, complex, and routinely undervalued by insurance companies who assume the rider was at fault. Most firms hand your case to a junior associate. At AJ Hall Injury Law Team, your case stays with the three people whose names are on the door — including a Medical Director most firms in Arizona don't have.
An in-house Medical Director
Dr. Rolando Contreras personally reviews your medical records and quantifies the full extent of your injuries — including the ones insurance companies routinely undervalue. Furthermore, most Arizona PI firms don't have this on staff.
A three-person team that knows your name
You won't be case #4,872. Specifically, Arthur personally oversees every strategy. Meanwhile, Alfred serves as your bilingual day-to-day contact. On the medical side, Dr. Contreras handles records and injury documentation. You'll always know who's on your team.
We fight insurance — we don't represent it
Other firms sometimes have corporate ties to the same insurance companies they negotiate against. By contrast, every conversation we have with an adjuster is fully on your behalf — with no conflicting loyalties.
You focus on healing.
We focus on winning.
What to do after a motorcycle accident in Arizona.
The first 48 hours matter more than most people realize. In fact, what you do — and don't do — can affect your case for months. Here's the order we recommend if you're physically able.
Get medical care immediately — even if you "feel okay"
Adrenaline masks pain. Furthermore, soft-tissue, head, and internal injuries from motorcycle crashes often don't show symptoms for 24-72 hours. As a result, going to urgent care or the ER right away creates the medical record that ties your injuries to the crash — critical for both your health and your case.
Call law enforcement and file a report
If there's any injury, death, or property damage, Arizona law requires you to remain at the scene and notify police. Moreover, the police report is the foundation of every personal injury claim — don't leave without one.
Document everything — photos, witnesses, the bike
Capture photos of bike damage, the scene, road conditions, traffic signs, and your gear and injuries. Additionally, grab names and phone numbers from witnesses. Then collect license plates and insurance info from every driver involved. Importantly, don't let your bike get repaired or destroyed before it's documented — the damage tells the story of the impact.
Don't talk to the other driver's insurance adjuster
Within 24-48 hours, the other driver's adjuster will call. At first, they'll sound friendly. However, they are not your friend. Anything you say can — and will — be used to reduce or deny your claim. Instead, tell them to talk to your attorney.
Call a personal injury attorney before signing anything
Insurance companies typically make a fast lowball offer in the first week — before you know the true cost of your injuries. However, once you sign, that offer is final. Therefore, a consultation costs nothing — and afterward you'll know what your case is actually worth.
Know the Arizona statute of limitations
In Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim (A.R.S. § 12-542). Unfortunately, wait too long and your right to compensation can be lost entirely — regardless of how serious the injury is.

Arizona motorcycle accident cases we handle.
From a left-turn collision on Camelback Rd to a freeway laydown on the 101, we handle the full range of Arizona motorcycle accident claims. Moreover, every case gets the same hands-on approach — alongside the in-house medical documentation that motorcycle injuries demand.
Left-turn collisions
The most common motorcycle vs. car crash. Specifically, a driver turns left across your lane and claims they didn't see you. Generally, liability is clear. However, insurance companies still fight on injury value. We don't let them.
Lane-change / blind spot accidents
When a car changes lanes without checking, it clips a rider in the next lane. Unfortunately, riders are routinely told they were "in the blind spot." However, that's not a defense for the driver, and we know how to prove it.
Rear-end motorcycle accidents
When a driver doesn't slow down or stop in time, the impact on a rider is far more severe than between two cars. Unfortunately, insurance companies routinely undervalue the injury here. We don't.
Hit-and-run accidents
When the at-fault driver flees, your own uninsured motorist coverage on your motorcycle policy usually pays. Furthermore, we make sure the claim is filed correctly and not denied on a technicality.
Dooring accidents
When a parked driver swings their door open into your path, it's catastrophic. Typically common on Phoenix's older arterial roads where bike lanes run next to parking. Liability is clear. However, proving the rider's reaction and resulting injuries takes a thorough investigation.
DUI-caused motorcycle crashes
Drunk drivers cause some of the worst motorcycle injuries on Arizona roads. As a result, these cases can support claims for additional damages. Additionally, we coordinate with the criminal proceeding to strengthen the civil case.
Uninsured / underinsured motorist
Arizona requires drivers to carry liability coverage. However, plenty don't — and minimum limits often don't cover serious motorcycle injuries. Therefore, we handle UM/UIM claims against your own motorcycle policy when the at-fault driver can't pay.
Single-vehicle laydowns
When a road defect, sudden gravel, or a vehicle ahead causes an evasive maneuver, it can put a rider down without direct contact. However, liability against the at-fault driver or roadway entity is still pursuable — and often missed by other firms.
Group ride / multi-bike accidents
When one car causes a chain reaction in a group of riders, identifying every responsible party and every applicable insurance policy is critical. Additionally, we coordinate the investigation across multiple riders' claims.
The team that will handle your case.
You won't be passed between strangers. Instead, the three of us handle every case from start to finish.
Arthur J. Hall
With 18+ years as an attorney, Arthur personally oversees every case strategy. Moreover, he negotiates directly with insurance companies — never delegating to a junior associate.
Dr. Rolando Contreras
Reviews all medical records in-house and provides detailed analysis of your injuries. Furthermore, he bridges medical treatment and legal advocacy — a role most Arizona PI firms don't have on staff.
Alfred Valdez
Your day-to-day point of contact and bilingual in English and Spanish. Furthermore, Alfred manages communication with adjusters and keeps you updated through every stage of your case.
Client Experiences Shared
"I had the best experience. AJ and his team were so helpful and thorough. I wasn't going to go through a firm because my car accident was so minor. But AJ and his team turned a $30k claim into a $100k claim. They know their stuff and I highly recommend them. Thanks AJ, Rolando and team."
"I'm forever grateful to them for their knowledge, generosity and professionalism. Taking my calls over the weekend, at night — always making sure they were there for us in our time of need. With their careful guidance we were able to resolve our conflict outside of court. AJ is an exceptional attorney in my opinion."
"I've never needed a lawyer before but I was hit by an underage red light runner and his insurance was some small insurance company from back east. To say they were awful to deal with would be an understatement. The stress was intense until I was directed to AJ. He was awesome and was a rockstar the entire way. He fought this company and was able to get a settlement much higher than I had imagined."
What working with us actually looks like.
No mystery, no surprises. Below is exactly how your case moves from the first call to a resolution.
Free consultation
Tell us what happened. Then we listen, ask questions, explain what you're entitled to, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. Importantly, there's no pressure and no fees.
Investigation + records
We collect the police report, witness statements, and every relevant medical record. Meanwhile, Dr. Contreras reviews the medical side in-house.
Negotiation
Arthur negotiates directly with the insurance company. Typically the first offer gets rejected. So does the second. Ultimately, the only number we accept is the one that's right.
Settlement or trial
Generally, most cases settle. However, if the insurance company won't be reasonable, we're prepared to take your case to court. Additionally, you pay nothing unless we recover.
Compensation we fight to recover.
A motorcycle accident costs more than what shows up on the first hospital bill — and motorcycle injuries often require long-term medical care, rehab, and equipment replacement. Fortunately, Arizona law allows you to pursue compensation for every category of loss the crash caused.
- Medical bills (past + future)
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
- Motorcycle + gear damage
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of consortium
- Long-term quality-of-life impact
