Injured in an Arizona motorcycle crash? Make the evidence understandable.
A motorcycle injury can disrupt treatment, work and daily routines while fault and insurance questions remain unsettled. Garrick McFadden helps injured Arizona riders understand those legal issues and the options ahead. At GAMESQ, his direct involvement and former Progressive insurance-defense experience inform a careful review of the actual facts.
Your account deserves a careful evidence review.
Vehicle paths, visibility, witnesses and the medical record can raise different questions. Garrick explains what those sources support, where accounts conflict and what remains uncertain. He discusses the risks and options so you can make an informed settlement decision. Litigation preparation, when appropriate, follows the disputed evidence—not an assumption about the rider or the crash label.
Keep the whole picture.
Scene and witnesses
Save original photographs, camera files, witness contacts and the investigating agency’s information. Note sight lines and travel directions you actually know.
Motorcycle and gear
Keep inspection, repair and storage information. Ask before disposing of a helmet or other potentially relevant equipment.
Injury and daily impact
Preserve treatment records, charges, wage documents and a factual account of changed activities. Medical questions belong with qualified clinicians.
Helmet safety is not a speed-based promise.
NHTSA recommends a DOT-compliant motorcycle helmet to help protect the brain in a serious crash. A webpage cannot determine how a particular helmet performed in a particular collision. Read NHTSA motorcycle safety guidance ↗
Arizona requires helmets for motorcycle operators and passengers under 18, with statutory exceptions. Read the equipment statute ↗
Do not infer a fixed fault percentage from helmet use or nonuse. Any legal or medical issue needs review of the actual collision, injury evidence and applicable law.
Do not decide fault from a label.
An unsafe turn, lane movement or disputed right of way needs evidence, not a presumption about riders. Identify what is recorded, what witnesses saw and what is not yet known. Where the scene or injury issues call for specialist analysis, ask what an appropriate expert could investigate; not every case needs the same experts.
Use the topic guide that fits the question.

Review insurance and timing separately.
Bring your motorcycle policy and any other potentially relevant coverage documents, not just an insurance card. Uninsured ↗ and underinsured ↗ coverage raise different questions. Ask promptly about deadlines and preservation before equipment is repaired or discarded.
A clear fee. A written agreement.
GAMESQ’s attorney fee is 36% of the recovery through trial. Your written fee agreement explains the terms and any case expenses that apply to your matter. This statement does not amend an existing client’s written agreement.
Rider questions.
What if I do not remember the impact?
Say so. Preserve available records and identify other sources; a gap in memory should not be filled with a guess.
Should I throw away the damaged helmet?
Ask about preserving it and other relevant equipment first. Follow qualified safety guidance about using or replacing equipment; this webpage does not certify it safe.
Can a family member make the first call?
A family member can ask how to request a consultation. The firm can explain what information and authority may be needed before discussing or taking action on a particular matter.
What happens when you ask for a consultation?
Use the existing form or call to share a brief description and contact information. Keep medical records and other sensitive documents out of the initial website message. Garrick is responsible for legal advice and representation decisions; administrative coordination is a separate role. Ask who will follow up and how attorney review would be arranged for your matter. Before hiring the firm, discuss the proposed scope, attorney fee and case expenses in the written agreement. A request does not itself create an attorney-client relationship.
Talk about your next step.
