Finding a bicycle accident attorney in Tempe
Searching for a bicycle accident lawyer near you in Tempe? Arizona law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet when passing, and a participating Tempe bicycle accident attorney may offer a free consultation to review your crash.
Bicycle Accident cases in Tempe
Cyclists in Tempe ride Mill Avenue, Rural Road, and Apache Boulevard year-round alongside traffic that doesn't always give them space. Arizona's three-foot passing law sets the minimum, yet with ASU campus traffic and some of the Valley's densest commuter corridors, riders across Maricopa County are still hit by turning, passing, and distracted drivers.
If a driver turned across your path, passed too close, or opened a door into you, you may be able to recover for your injuries. A participating Arizona law firm may review your Tempe bike crash.
Common Tempe bicycle accident situations
- Right-hook and left-cross collisions on Mill Avenue, Rural Road, and Apache Boulevard
- Unsafe passing inside the three-foot buffer
- Dooring incidents near parked cars
- Crashes at driveways and intersections

Why quick action matters in Arizona
Arizona generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines apply to claims involving a public entity — a formal notice of claim is generally required within 180 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
