Arizona Bicycle Accidents: Your Rights and Compensation Options
Bicycle Accident Attorney
As an experienced bicycle accident attorney in Mesa, Arizona, I’ve seen firsthand how more and more Arizonans are taking to their bikes—to exercise, train, commute, explore, or simply enjoy the outdoors. While biking offers many benefits, riders face unique risks on the road and must follow both state and local bicycle laws. Unfortunately, even the most cautious cyclists can still be involved in accidents.
Just like drivers, cyclists can find themselves in sudden and unexpected collisions. Intersections that serve both vehicles and bicycles can be especially dangerous, often because drivers aren’t actively looking out for cyclists or may have trouble spotting them. Accidents can also occur when cyclists navigate construction zones, where hazards like potholes, uneven pavement, or debris can cause them to lose control.

In Arizona, bicyclists who ride on streets or roadways are required to follow the same traffic laws as drivers. Cyclists must stay alert and aware of their surroundings, especially nearby vehicles, and should know how to use hand signals to indicate turns. When riding before sunrise or after sunset, bikes must have a white front light visible from at least 500 feet and a red rear reflector. If you’re carrying items while riding, you must be able to keep at least one hand on the handlebars—using a backpack is a good option. Riders are also encouraged to always wear a helmet, watch for road hazards, stay out of drivers’ blind spots, wear bright clothing during the day, and reflective gear at night.
If you’re involved in a bicycle accident, be sure to contact local law enforcement so they can file a thorough report. If you’re injured, seek medical attention immediately.
