Clifton Motorcycle Accident Lawyers.

The curves along the Coronado Trail can be breathtaking, but they can also be deadly for motorcycle riders. Last month, a rider heading south on US-191 toward the Morenci mine was struck by a pickup truck that failed to yield during a left turn at the intersection near town. The impact sent the motorcyclist sliding across the asphalt, suffering multiple fractures and road rash. Motorcycle accidents in Clifton often happen when drivers simply don't see riders, especially during shift changes at the Freeport-McMoRan operation when traffic increases. Whether it's a tourist distracted by the scenic mountain views or a mine worker rushing to clock in, the result is the same – serious injuries that change lives forever.

After a motorcycle accident in Clifton, the nearest trauma care is Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center in Safford, a 40-minute drive that feels like an eternity when you're hurt. While you're dealing with broken bones, surgery, and weeks of recovery, insurance companies start calling with lowball offers. The bills pile up fast – emergency room visits, helicopter transport, follow-up surgeries, physical therapy. Meanwhile, you can't work, whether that's at the mine, in town, or anywhere else. The insurance adjuster doesn't care that motorcycle accident injuries are typically more severe than car crashes, or that your recovery will take months, not days. They want to settle quickly and cheaply.

Clifton's remote location creates unique challenges for motorcycle accident victims. The winding mountain roads like SR-75 and the Coronado Trail attract riders from across Arizona, but they also present hazards like sudden weather changes, wildlife, and loose gravel from mining operations. When accidents happen on these isolated stretches, emergency response takes longer, and evidence can be scattered by wind or washed away by monsoon rains. The combination of steep grades, tight curves, and drivers unfamiliar with sharing the road with motorcycles makes our area particularly dangerous for riders. Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for these accidents, claiming excessive speed on mountain curves even when the real cause was driver negligence.
