Motorcycle Safety Tips in Arizona
Seeking Compensation for Your Injuries
Motorists quite often simply do not see motorcycles — when an accident occurs, it is common to hear claims that you were in the "blind spot." It is crucial that you do everything possible to protect yourself against this lack of visibility and driver inattention. Your safety comes first.
At the Law Offices of Jay A. Bansal, our experienced Phoenix & Tempe accident lawyer will treat you with respect and compassion when you have been catastrophically injured in a motorcycle accident. But our hope is that severe injuries can be prevented.

Even though motorcycle accidents are often caused by the negligence of other drivers, the common bias is to assume an accident was caused by alleged risky behavior of the motorcyclist. The message is clear — you have to look out for yourself on the road. Taking proper safety precautions is the first step.
The best way to ensure that motorists have time to react and avoid an accident is to make yourself as visible as possible. You can do this by:
- Using your headlight and reflective strips or decals on your clothing and on your motorcycle
- Being aware of when you are in motorists' blind spots
- Being aware of your surroundings
- Flashing your brake light when you are slowing down and before coming to a complete stop
- Being unafraid to use your horn if you think a motorist doesn't see you
You should also protect yourself by using a high-quality helmet and wearing brightly colored, protective clothing. Our Phoenix motorcycle accident lawyers offer the necessary information to help you protect yourself and make important decisions. When you have been injured, we can help to ensure that you get adequate medical treatment and that the cost is covered so you can focus on your recovery.
