Motorcycle Accidents in Utah
Motorcycle accidents continue to be a major concern across Utah, where thousands of riders hit the roads each year. Due to their smaller profile and lack of protection, motorcyclists are at higher risk of serious injury in collisions. Intersections and multi-lane roads like 12300 South are common sites of these types of accidents.
Motorcycle crashes often result in complex injury cases. Here’s what injured riders should keep in mind:
- Comprehensive Medical Exams: Motorcycle crashes frequently involve head, back, or leg injuries. Even if you feel fine, underlying issues like internal bleeding or fractures can develop later.
- Protective Gear: Wearing a helmet and padded gear reduces injury severity but doesn’t eliminate risk. Documenting what you wore at the time of the crash can be useful in legal claims.
- Eyewitness Accounts: Because drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the rider, independent witnesses can help clarify fault and support the motorcyclist’s version of events.
- Bias Against Riders: Insurance companies may unfairly assume the rider was at fault. Legal representation ensures that your rights and perspective are given fair consideration.
- Long-Term Recovery: Motorcycle injuries can take longer to heal and may involve surgeries, physical therapy, or ongoing care, all of which should be factored into compensation.
- Property Loss: Motorcycle repairs or replacement can be costly, especially for customized or specialty bikes. Be sure to get proper estimates and photos of the damage.
