Motorcycle Accidents in Utah
Motorcycle crashes happen far too often on Utah roads and usually result in serious injuries due to a rider’s exposure. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcyclists are significantly more likely to suffer life-altering injuries than passengers in vehicles. Even the safest riders can be hurt when other drivers fail to watch for motorcycles. After an accident, injured riders often face long recoveries, costly medical bills, and missed work. Knowing your options is critical.
Motorcyclists should remember these important safety reminders and steps to take if an accident happens:
- Wear Protective Gear: Always wear a helmet, gloves, jacket, and durable pants. Proper gear helps prevent or reduce the severity of injuries.
- Stay Visible: Use your headlights, wear bright clothing, and avoid riding in drivers’ blind spots. Being seen can help prevent crashes.
- Document the Scene: If you’re able, take photos of the motorcycle, other vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. This evidence can be key for your claim.
- Seek Medical Care: Even if injuries appear minor, visit a doctor. Some injuries, like head trauma or internal injuries, may not show symptoms right away.
- Talk to a Lawyer: An attorney can protect your rights, deal with insurance companies, and help you recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.
