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 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 receiving medical attention. 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.

When Should I Hire a Logan Bicycle Accident Attorney? 

Bike riders face higher chances of fatalities than occupants of motor vehicles. In bike lanes and at crosswalks, they are much more at risk. It is not surprising. If two cars hit each other at 50 MPH, the drivers may survive. But if a car were to hit a bike at that speed, it would likely be fatal. That is the reality of biking. Fortunately, thanks to the university, Logan has a lot of biking infrastructure and drivers who know they have to share the road. If you’re biking in Logan and get into an accident, reach out to the accident lawyers with The Advocates. We will fight on your behalf for fair compensation, defend you from insurance companies, and guide you through the legal process. Are you a biker who has been in an accident? You deserve affordable, expert legal representation. You deserve an Advocate. 

Road Biking Around Logan 

How to bike safely on roads 

Every motorist knows they must share the road with cyclists. The onus of preventing accidents falls on cars, but bikers can and do cause accidents. Don’t be one of these bikers. A bicycle accident attorney cannot represent you if you act recklessly on the roadways.  
Here are some tips for safe road biking:  

  • Follow all traffic laws; stop at stop signs; know who has the right-of-way at intersections; use hand signals to indicate your intentions  
  • Bicycle safety starts before you ride by checking your tires, brakes, and gears are in good condition  
  • Be visible by using lights and reflectors and wearing bright clothes  
  • Always use the bike lane if there is one; if there isn’t, stay to the side of the road 

Riding in Cache Valley 

Bicycle riders in Utah have to check out Cache Valley. It is about 100 miles north of Salt Lake City and a prime place to do some road biking.  
Why?  
It’s gorgeous. There aren’t many cars, the roads are well-maintained, and the views are stunning. You can see livestock and farms with a backdrop of mountains covered in pine trees. It is a wonderful destination for biking aficionados.  
You should know that bike-on-bike accidents are just as valid as car accidents. If another cyclist hits you, you can file a bicycle accident claim.  
Hopefully, that will never happen, and you can enjoy Cache Valley. If you’re considering a trip, here are two routes we recommend:  

  • Logan Canyon 
  • Farmland Fondo 

Common bicycle accident injuries 

A bike crash can result in minor bumps and bruises, catastrophic injuries, or somewhere in between. Here are the most serious injuries we see in bicycle accident cases: 

  • Lacerations and bruising  
  • Road rash  
  • Ligament tears or strains  
  • Broken bones  
  • Scarring and disfigurement  
  • Spinal cord injuries  
  • Traumatic brain injuries and concussions 
  • Emotional distress 
  • Wrongful death of a loved one 

Personal Injury Law in Utah   

The steps to take after a bicycle accident  

  • Ensure safety  
  • Check for injuries   
  • Call emergency services and obtain a police report as soon as you can  
  • Gather names, contact information, and insurance information of the other parties involved in the accident  
  • Get information from witnesses  
  • Document the accident scene by taking pictures  
  • Seek medical care 
  • Report the accident to your insurance  
  • Consult an Advocate personal injury lawyer  
  • Keep records of everything related to the accident, from records of medical expenses to communications with all parties involved 

What damages can you seek in a bicycle accident case?  

Generally, these are the types of damages a personal injury lawyer will help you seek:  

  • Medical bills 
  • Lost wages  
  • Loss of future earning capacity  
  • Property damage   
  • Non-economic damages like psychological trauma  
  • Funeral and burial costs for fatalities 

Is there a time limit for filing a biking accident claim?  

Yes.  
In Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injuries is generally four years. The process of getting fair compensation is not fast, which is why our legal advice is to quickly start your case.  
The statute of limitations for seeking compensation for property damage is three years. 

Determining responsibility for the accident 

Responsibility for the claim must be established before any claim can begin. Utah uses comparative negligence for personal injury and property damage lawsuits. Fault is assigned as a percentage.  
You cannot file a claim if you are more than 50% responsible for the accident. Imagine you run a red light through an intersection on your bike and get struck by a car that had a green light. In this case, you will likely be the at-fault party assigned the majority of the fault for the case and, therefore, cannot sue.   
You might be assigned 25% of the blame. If your fault is under 51%, you can still file a claim, but your final settlement will be reduced by the percentage of your fault—in this example, the compensation you receive from the accident will be 75% of the final settlement.
