Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Sandy, Utah

Insurance companies would have you believe that motorcycle accidents are caused by reckless motorcyclists, but the truth is that many motorcyclists ride more safely than motorists because they know they are more vulnerable in accidents. Many motorcycle accidents are due to the negligent drivers of motorists, such as:

Speeding
Running red lights or stop signs
Following too closely
Changing lanes without checking mirrors or blind spots
Failing to yield when the motorcyclist has the right-of-way
Drinking and driving
Texting or engaging in other distractions
Unsafely passing

Let our experienced Sandy personal injury lawyers determine the damages for which you can seek compensation.

Can I Still Recover Compensation If I’m Partly to Blame for an Accident?

A popular way insurance companies avoid or minimize liability is by blaming the motorcyclist for the accident. But even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation under Utah’s modified comparative fault system. Under this system, you can still pursue compensation in an accident even if you were partially at fault as long as your fault does not exceed the fault of the other parties.

However, your compensation is reduced by your degree of fault. Therefore, if you are found 20% at fault for an accident, your compensation is reduced by 20%. Because this law can limit the financial compensation you recover, it’s essential you don’t accept fault for the accident and you speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can safeguard your rights.
