Bicycle Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, dozens of bicyclists are seriously hurt in collisions with motor vehicles. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, bicycle crashes often occur during daylight hours and in areas with moderate to heavy traffic. Drivers are urged to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance and to check blind spots and mirrors carefully before turning or changing lanes.
Bicycle accident victims often face unique challenges during recovery. Here are key concerns that injured cyclists may experience:
- Severe Physical Injuries: Unlike vehicle occupants, bicyclists have minimal protection. Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, and deep lacerations that may require extensive treatment.
- Bike and Gear Damage: Expensive bicycles, helmets, and gear are often damaged or destroyed. Insurance may not fully cover these losses without a proper claim.
- Delayed Insurance Payouts: It can be harder to prove liability in bike crashes, leading to delays or denials by insurance carriers.
- Mental Trauma: Many cyclists report anxiety or fear about returning to the road after a collision, which can disrupt daily life or fitness routines.
- Rehabilitation Costs: Physical therapy is often needed for long-term injuries like spinal strain or joint issues. These costs can quickly add up.
- Lost Income: Cyclists with serious injuries may miss work while recovering, creating financial pressure on top of medical expenses.
