Even in full gear, motorcycle riders have much less protection than other vehicles on the road. Unfortunately, this means accidents are often devastating for the biker, and the road to recovery is long and arduous.
After an accident, a motorcyclist may be left with mounting medical expenses and substantial pain and suffering. Endless visits to doctors and physical therapists, missed time at work, and being taken away from the things you love can leave you and your loved ones feeling lost and alone.

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.

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.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

Mark Stewart was a great attorney. My case wasn't easy but he made it seem easy. His main concern was making sure I got all the help I needed medically. He check up on me all the time to see how I was feeling and any questions I had he had answers to and took the time to explain it so I could understand. I hope no one needs a accident attorney but if you do go with Mark
I was referred to The Advocates by a colleague and I don’t think 5 stars is a high enough rating for them. My initial consult was informative and straight to the point. They gave me realistic expectations from the beginning and they were with me every step of the way. They best part is they did everything to maximize my settlement without me having to ask! Very friendly staff!
I was in a motorcycle accident back in February and I called the Advocates the next day and they’ve been on my case ever since. They always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case and they were able to get me a good chunk of the settlement. They have been great to work with!
I recently was in a motorcycle accident, and after fighting with my insurance I reached out to Brad Johnson with The Advocates. I couldn't be happier and more thankful for the help I received from him, and his team. They made me feel like I was well taken care of, and got me the settlement I needed. I highly recommend going to Brad if you have any legal issues and need assistance. If anything like this happens in my future he will be the first person I reach out to.
Some common injuries that motorcycle accident victims may suffer include:
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 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.
