Motorcycle Accident Law

A good motorcycle accident lawyer knows that cases come in all shapes and sizes. Motorcycle accident laws are in place to help make full recovery a real possibility for those injured in crashes in Utah. Drivers of all types of motorized vehicles are required to carry liability insurance when traveling on Utah roads. That means that if a driver does cause an accident, his or her insurance will step in and pay for any damages resulting from that accident- up to the limits specified by that driver’s insurance policy. This system is critically important with motorcycles due to the heightened dangers associated with being more exposed to the actions of others. In fact, Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a deadly accident on the road than those in passenger cars. These accidents result in approximately 5,000 fatalities per year. It’s not that those on motorcycles get in more accidents, they only account for 11% of all roadway accidents in the U.S. It’s just that when they are hit, the gravity of the harm is far worse.
