A Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You 

Motorcycles offer unrivaled freedom on the roads, but that freedom comes with a cost. Motorcycle riders don’t have the same level of protection as other motorists, so motorcycle accidents are often devastating for the rider.
Motorcyclists may be left with mounting medical expenses and significant pain and suffering. After an accident, you may be facing endless visits to doctors and physical therapists to address severe injuries, missed time at work, and losing the ability to do the things you love. 
You don’t have to face these challenges alone; you can choose an Advocate. The Advocates are experienced Logan motorcycle accident attorneys. Recovery is a long road, and we want to help as much as we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket when you hire an Advocate.  
Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees.  
Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. We do not get paid unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement.  
For more information on how settlements and payment work, please see our contingency fee information page.

If the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.  
Your attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime.

Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.  
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a several years. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.

When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.  
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.

Utah Motorcycle Statistics and Information 

Motorcycle helmet statistics  

  • In 2022, in states that don’t have universal helmet laws, 55% of motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets.
  • According to the NHTSA, motorcycle helmets were estimated to have saved over 1,800 lives and more than $3.5 billion in 2019. 
  • Head injury risk falls by 69% when helmets are used appropriately. 

Utah Motorcycle Accident Statistics   

  • There were 5,932 fatal crashes involving motorcycles nationwide in 2021, the highest number on record since FARS (Fatality Analysis Reporting System) data collection started in 1975.
  • 36% of motorcyclists involved in fatal motor vehicle accidents had no valid motorcycle license.
  • 43% of riders killed in single-vehicle crashes were alcohol-impaired. 

Common motorcycle accident injuries  

Some common injuries that motorcycle accident victims may suffer include: 

  • Traumatic brain injuries 
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Disfigurement 
  • Broken bones 
  • Broken or missing teeth 
  • Ligament tears or strains 
  • Road rash 

Common causes of motorcycle accidents 

  • Speeding: You have less time to react at high speeds, so it’s essential to consider the conditions to determine the speed you should go. 
  • Impaired driving: Whether from alcohol or medications, impairment is unsafe when operating a vehicle. 
  • Failure to see the motorcyclist: Drivers should always pay attention, and motorcyclists should consider wearing high-visibility clothing to be seen more easily to avoid a car accident.
  • Failure to give motorcyclists appropriate space: Motorcycles should be given the same space any other vehicle would take.

Utah Motorcycle Laws

Utah Equipment Laws

Riders under 21 are required to wear a helmet, but helmets are otherwise optional for adults in Utah. Everyone should wear a helmet, even if not required by law. A helmet dramatically reduces your risk of death in an accident. 
Handlebars must be no higher than shoulder height and hand grips must not be 15” above the seat.

Utah Lane Laws

Utah motorcyclists are entitled to an entire lane of traffic, which is necessary to avoid road hazards and debris that don’t necessarily impact cars. Two riders may share a lane, but no more.
Utah law allows lane filtering, which has been shown to reduce traffic and increase motorcyclists’ safety. Motorcyclists may not exceed 15 MPH while lane filtering. Lane filtering differs from lane splitting, as it only applies to low-speed situations.
