Bicycle Accidents in Utah
In Utah, there are some considerable differences between car accidents and bicycle accidents that are important to know. First, bicycles do not carry the same kind of liability insurance as motor vehicles.
Second, the injuries endured by cyclists are usually much more serious. If you are injured while riding a bike, seek prompt medical care so you can learn the full extent of your injuries and what will be needed for you to make a complete recovery.
Third, hire an experienced bicycle accident attorney who is familiar with how the different types of insurance apply in these cases and who has a reputation for taking cases to trial for full monetary compensation.
Our attorneys understand the dangers faced by cyclists. Without a two-ton metal shield for protection, bicyclists are some of the most vulnerable passengers on Utah’s roadways. In addition, a lot of drivers do not give riders the space and the respect to which they are entitled.
If you have been injured during a bicycle accident, you deserve the best possible outcome in your case.
