Why Injured Cyclists Trust Bike Accident Attorneys
Real Cyclists
Most personal injury attorneys learn about bicycle crashes from accident reports. Ben Dodge learns about bicycle safety, traffic patterns, dangerous intersections, road hazards, and driver behavior from thousands of miles spent riding Arizona roads each year. As a competitive endurance cyclist who has raced events including Race Across America and international ultra-cycling competitions, Ben understands the unique risks cyclists face every time they clip into their pedals.
Trial Lawyers
Insurance companies carefully evaluate the attorney representing an injured cyclist. They know the difference between lawyers who quickly settle cases and lawyers who prepare every case for trial. At Bike Accident Attorneys, we build every bicycle accident case as if it will ultimately be presented to a jury. Thorough investigation, expert analysis, and meticulous preparation often create stronger results for injured cyclists and their families.
Arizona Focused
Bicycle accident cases are heavily influenced by local roads, traffic patterns, insurance practices, and state law. We represent cyclists throughout Arizona and understand the challenges riders face on roads in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tucson, Flagstaff, and beyond. Our firm is deeply familiar with Arizona bicycle laws, comparative fault principles, uninsured motorist coverage issues, and the unique circumstances surrounding bicycle crashes throughout the state.
Dedicated to Cyclists
Bike Accident Attorneys was built specifically to protect cyclists. We are not a general personal injury firm that occasionally accepts bicycle accident cases. Representing injured riders is the core of what we do. Whether the crash involves a distracted driver, a commercial vehicle, a dangerous roadway condition, a hit-and-run driver, or an e-bike collision, our mission remains the same: to stand beside Arizona cyclists when they need experienced legal representation the most.

Meet Ben Dodge: Cyclist, Trial Lawyer, Advocate
Ben Dodge is an Arizona trial lawyer, NITA Master Advocate, and lifelong cyclist who has dedicated his practice to protecting the rights of injured riders. Over the course of his cycling career, Ben has logged tens of thousands of miles on roads throughout Arizona and across the world. He has competed in some of the most demanding endurance events ever created, including Race Across America (RAAM – 4X), Race Across France, Ironman triathlons, and World Championship-level competitions.
When cyclists are seriously injured, they deserve more than a lawyer who occasionally handles bicycle accident cases. They deserve an advocate who understands cycling, understands the law, and understands what is truly at stake after a life-changing crash.
Most attorneys learn about bicycle accidents from police reports and depositions. Ben Dodge learns about bicycle safety, road hazards, traffic patterns, distracted drivers, unsafe passing, bike lane conflicts, and dangerous intersections from thousands of miles spent riding Arizona roads every year.
That perspective matters.
Cyclists often face unique challenges after a crash. Insurance adjusters may not understand bicycle dynamics. Police reports sometimes fail to accurately document what happened. Drivers frequently claim they “never saw the cyclist.” Jurors may bring misconceptions about cyclists onto the jury panel. Successfully handling a bicycle accident case requires understanding both the law and the realities of riding on the road.
Ben combines real-world cycling experience with elite courtroom training and years of trial practice. As a NITA Master Advocate, he has trained extensively in advanced trial advocacy and courtroom litigation. He has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured clients and has built a reputation for thorough preparation, strategic advocacy, and a willingness to take difficult cases further than many firms are willing to go.
Unlike large-volume personal injury firms that treat bicycle accidents as just another file, Bike Accident Attorneys was built specifically for cyclists. Every case receives the attention, investigation, and preparation it deserves because every cyclist deserves an advocate who genuinely understands the sport, the community, and the challenges riders face after a serious collision.
If you were injured while riding your bicycle in Arizona, Ben Dodge and the team at Bike Accident Attorneys are ready to fight for you, your recovery, and your future.
We Handle All Types of Arizona Bicycle Accident Cases
No two bicycle accidents are exactly alike. The circumstances of a crash can significantly impact liability, insurance coverage, available evidence, and the value of a claim. At Bike Accident Attorneys, we represent cyclists injured in all types of bicycle accidents throughout Arizona. Whether you were struck by a distracted driver, injured by a commercial vehicle, involved in a hit-and-run collision, or hurt while riding an e-bike, our team understands the unique challenges these cases present and how to effectively pursue compensation on your behalf.
Right Hook Bicycle Accidents
A right-hook collision occurs when a motor vehicle passes a cyclist and then turns right directly into the rider’s path. These crashes are among the most common and dangerous bicycle accidents in Arizona and frequently occur at intersections, driveways, and parking lot entrances.
Left Cross Bicycle Accidents
Left-cross accidents occur when a driver turns left across the path of an oncoming cyclist. Drivers often claim they never saw the cyclist, making thorough investigation and evidence preservation critical to proving liability.
Dooring Accidents
Dooring accidents happen when a driver or passenger opens a vehicle door into the path of an approaching cyclist. These crashes can cause riders to collide with the door, be thrown into traffic, or suffer serious injuries from an unexpected impact.
Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accidents
Few situations are more frustrating than being injured by a driver who flees the scene. We help injured cyclists identify all available sources of compensation, including uninsured motorist coverage and other insurance benefits that may apply.
Commercial Vehicle Bicycle Accidents
Collisions involving delivery trucks, utility vehicles, construction vehicles, and commercial fleets often result in severe injuries. These cases frequently involve multiple insurance policies, corporate defendants, and complex liability issues requiring experienced legal representation.
E-Bike Accidents
As e-bike use continues to grow throughout Arizona, so do accidents involving electric bicycles. E-bike crashes can involve motor vehicles, pedestrians, roadway hazards, product defects, or other riders and often present unique legal and insurance considerations.
Wrongful Death Bicycle Claims
When a bicycle accident results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. We help families seek accountability, justice, and financial security during an incredibly difficult time.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
Many Arizona cyclists are surprised to learn that their own automobile insurance policy may provide important protection after a bicycle crash. We help injured riders navigate uninsured and underinsured motorist claims and maximize all available insurance coverage.
Arizona Bicycle Laws Matter
Understanding Arizona bicycle laws can have a significant impact on the outcome of a bicycle accident claim. Many injured cyclists are surprised to learn that bicycles are generally afforded the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles when operating on Arizona roadways. Unfortunately, many drivers, insurance adjusters, and even some law enforcement officers do not fully understand how Arizona’s bicycle laws apply after a crash.
Arizona also follows a comparative fault system. This means that even if a cyclist is alleged to have contributed to a crash, they may still be entitled to recover compensation for their injuries. Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto injured cyclists in an effort to reduce the value of a claim. Understanding how comparative fault works can be critical to protecting your rights.
Insurance coverage presents another layer of complexity. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available through the at-fault driver’s insurance policy, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, homeowner’s insurance, umbrella policies, or other sources. Identifying every available source of recovery is often one of the most important aspects of a bicycle accident case.
At Bike Accident Attorneys, we help cyclists understand their rights under Arizona law and fight to ensure those rights are protected. Whether your case involves a right-hook collision, a hit-and-run driver, an e-bike accident, or a dispute over who was at fault, having a clear understanding of Arizona bicycle laws can make all the difference.

What’s the e-Bike problem?
E-bikes have exploded in popularity across Arizona, offering an affordable and convenient way to commute, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the rapid growth of e-bike use has also led to a significant increase in serious accidents involving riders, pedestrians, and motor vehicles. Many drivers fail to appreciate the speed at which e-bikes travel, while some riders are unaware of the laws and risks associated with operating these powerful machines. As Arizona communities continue to adapt to the e-bike boom, collisions involving Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 e-bikes are becoming increasingly common, often resulting in severe injuries and complex legal issues that require experienced representation.
