Introduction
Advocating for Injured Cyclists in Salt Lake City
Bicycling has become a popular way to commute and explore the scenic routes around Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, even experienced cyclists can face devastating accidents when drivers fail to respect bike lanes or follow traffic laws. A bicycle collision can leave you with severe injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and uncertainty about your future. At Ceda Law Group, our mission is to help you navigate these challenges, fight for justice, and secure the financial support you need to heal and move forward.
COMMON CAUSES
How Bicycle Accidents Happen
Despite increased awareness campaigns and designated bike lanes, serious crashes continue to occur. Drivers may not check blind spots, fail to yield, or drive under the influence. Poor road maintenance, debris, or inclement weather can also lead to bicycle wrecks. We conduct a meticulous investigation to identify the exact cause of your accident and hold the responsible party accountable.

INJURIES AND IMPACT
Understanding the Consequences of a Bike Crash
Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord damage. Recovery can involve lengthy hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy, and mental health support. Many victims face lost income if they’re unable to work, as well as significant emotional distress. By carefully documenting the full extent of your damages—both economic and non-economic—we aim to secure fair compensation that reflects every aspect of your ordeal.

FAQ
What are the first steps to take after a bicycle accident in Utah?
First, seek medical attention, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Gather the driver’s
information and contact details of any witnesses. Photograph the accident scene and your bicycle’s damage. Finally, contact a Salt Lake City attorney who specializes in bicycle accidents.
Does Utah law protect bicyclists’ rights on the road?
Yes. Bicyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers on Utah roads. If a
motorist violates traffic laws or drives recklessly, they can be held liable for resulting injuries or damages.
Can I file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Utah law does not mandate helmets for bicyclists (though local ordinances may vary). Not wearing a helmet does not necessarily prevent you from filing a claim, but it could affect the outcome if it’s determined that a helmet would have mitigated your injuries.
How do insurance claims work for bicycle accidents in a no-fault state?
You may need to file a claim with your own insurance company first if you have applicable coverage. However, if your injuries are severe enough or meet certain thresholds, you may file a liability claim against the at-fault driver. An attorney can clarify the best course of action.
Why should I contact a local attorney for my bicycle accident case?
Utah traffic laws and local road conditions can significantly influence your case. A local attorney understands these nuances, helping you gather the right evidence and pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.
