- Renowned Runner Killed in Arizona Bicycle Accident | Legal News | News Ticker
Arizona is home to countless athletes in different disciplines for obvious reasons. One of them is because the climate allows athletes to train outdoors all year, and many runners live and train here for that and other reasons. In addition, many runners will train on a bicycle from time to time as it strengthens muscles not otherwise used. Tragically, a very well known runner was training in that manner when she was hit and killed in an Arizona bicycle accident. Police are continuing to investigate the situation.
According to reports, the runner, Sally Meyerhoff, was riding her bicycle on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. when she encountered the intersection of White and Parker Road and Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway. She entered the intersection and was subsequently hit by a pickup truck. Tragically, this Arizona bicycle accident turned out to be fatal, as Ms. Meyerhoff was killed as a result of the collision. Police have ruled out any involvement of alcohol or other forms of intoxicants by the pickup truck driver, but a cause for the crash has yet to be identified.
Arizona Bicycle Accident Statistics
First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the woman who was killed in this tragic accident. Losing a life in such a manner is always difficult for those who were close to the person who was killed. In addition, this Arizona bicycle accident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding crashes of this type state-wide. Every year, almost 2,000 such accidents occur, and they result in more than 1,600 injuries and in more than two fatalities every month.
Arizona Wrongful Death Lawyers
Clearly, more information would be necessary in order for any type of fault to be assigned. If it turns out that the driver of the pickup truck was at fault, then it’s possible that the family of the woman who was killed could file an Arizona wrongful death lawsuit. If such a claim is filed and it’s successful, the family could be awarded damages that compensate them for their medical, funeral and burial expenses as well as their lost income and their loss of companionship. If the pickup truck driver was not at fault, the family could still recover benefits from any existing life insurance policy.
If you have lost someone you love in a crash, you need to seek the help of Arizona wrongful death lawyers who have been holding those responsible for this type of loss accountable for many years. Contact the Phillips Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
