Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle Accidents Can Have Catastrophic Consequences. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcycle accidents accounted for 15% of all traffic-related deaths in 2019, with 47 lives lost. The lack of safety features and comparatively smaller size of motorcycles leaves motorcyclists vulnerable to devastating injuries that can change the course of a life.

Crucial Actions After a Motorcycle Accident

WHAT TO DO AFTER A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

Even When You're Unsure If You Have Sustained Injuries

Stay on the Scene

Even if the accident is minor, you should stop and move vehicles out of traffic. DO NOT LEAVE THE SCENE until you speak with others involved.

Get Help

If you suspect someone is injured, call an ambulance. You should also call the police, even for a minor accident.

Exchange Information

Gather CONTACT AND INSURANCE INFO from the other individuals involved in the accident. If possible, get the contact info for eyewitnesses, as well.

Take Photos

If it is safe to do so, TAKE PICTURES OF ALL VEHICLES INVOLVED and the accident scene. These photos can be used as evidence later.

Avoid Admitting Fault

While you should be polite, DO NOT APOLOGIZE or tell anyone it was your fault, even if you think it was. A casual apology can be seen as an admission of guilt.

Contact an Attorney

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without discussing your case with an attorney first. Our team can protect your rights and ensure you receive a fair settlement.

RESPONSIVE AND PROFESSIONAL

“Brett Boulton handled my son’s auto accident claim. The insurance company played hardball and we had to file a lawsuit before the case settled, but Brett and his staff were responsive and professional throughout. We were very happy with Brett’s handling of the claim and with the end result.”

– Jenny H.

Who Was Driving?

Passengers in a vehicle often sustain serious injuries in an auto accident. However, figuring out how to receive proper coverage can be difficult as the passenger.

In many cases, the driver is a family member or friend. You may hesitate to file a claim because you do not want to offend or cause trouble.

If you were injured as the passenger of a vehicle, you do not have to sue the driver, though you may have the right. You can file a claim under their insurance or the insurance of another driver involved in the accident.

At Flickinger • Boulton • Robson • Weeks, we are dedicated to helping injured individuals receive the compensation they deserve. We can help you understand your rights and determine the right course of action for your unique situation.
