Mesa motorcycle crashes — left-turn collisions, lane-change strikes, and the 'I didn't see them' defense. Big Dog Law represents Mesa riders injured by negligent drivers.
Motorcycle cases are different from car cases in two specific ways: the injuries are usually serious, and insurers reflexively try to push fault onto the rider. Both require a different approach. In Mesa — with its mix of high-speed freeways, fast surface arterials, and year-round riding weather — the case files we see most often involve left-turn collisions, lane-change strikes, and intersection wrecks where a passenger-vehicle driver “didn’t see” the bike. We build Mesa motorcycle cases around physics, sight-lines, and the rider’s actual conduct — not the carrier’s preferred narrative.
Mesa motorcycle basics
Left-turn collisions
Drivers turning across the rider's path account for a substantial share of Mesa motorcycle crashes — particularly on Main, Southern, Broadway, McKellips, and Power Road.
Lane-change strikes
Drivers merging without checking blind spots — common on US-60 and Loop 202.
Rear-end collisions at signals
Distracted drivers don't always register a stopped motorcycle in time.
Road-surface failures
Loose gravel, grade changes, and pothole hazards that don't faze a car can be catastrophic for a bike.
Speeding and DUI involvement
Particularly on weekend nights along the East Valley arterial corridors.
Traumatic brain injury
Even with a helmet, TBI is a frequent outcome of motorcycle crashes — particularly in higher-speed events.
Spinal cord injury
Some of the most life-altering injuries we see come from motorcycle crashes.
Road rash and degloving injuries
Soft-tissue and skin injuries that often require multiple plastic-surgery procedures.
Fractures
Particularly to the lower extremities, pelvis, and clavicles — typical motorcycle-impact injury patterns.
Internal injuries
Crash forces transferred through the body cause organ injuries that are sometimes missed in initial ER workups.
