The aftermath of a motorcycle can be challenging as you begin to heal and process your next steps. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident as a result of someone else’s negligence, you have a legal right to pursue compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial damages you sustained. The liable party may include:
Sometimes, liability may be shared amongst multiple parties, including yourself. This is because Arizona follows a system of comparative negligence. In a comparative negligence state, a percentage of fault can be allocated to each person involved in an accident based on their level of responsibility in causing the accident. This percentage is used when determining compensation.
The court will take into consideration factors such as traffic violations, the speed at which you and the other motorist were driving, whether anyone was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident, and any other details about the accident to determine each party’s percentage of fault.
