INTRODUCTION
Standing Up
for Injured Motorcyclists
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating due to the minimal protection riders have compared to drivers of other vehicles. In Salt Lake City, these crashes frequently occur when drivers fail to see motorcyclists in their blind spots or engage in reckless behaviors like speeding. At Ceda Law Group, we’re committed to helping accident victims navigate legal hurdles and pursue the compensation they deserve.
THE DANGERS OF MOTORCYCLING
Why Motorcycle Accidents Are Often More Severe
Unlike cars or trucks, motorcycles lack a protective frame, putting riders at higher risk of catastrophic injuries, including head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and extensive road rash. Even a low-speed collision can lead to serious harm. Understanding these inherent risks helps us better illustrate the extent of your injuries when negotiating with insurance companies or presenting your case in court.

COMMON CAUSES
Frequent Reasons for Motorcycle Crashes in Salt Lake City
Whether it’s a distracted driver, hazardous road conditions, or failure to yield, most motorcycle accidents can be traced to preventable human error. Additional factors—such as poor weather or vehicle defects—can also play a role. Our team examines police reports, witness statements, and other evidence to pinpoint exactly what led to your crash, strengthening your claim for compensation.
INJURIES AND IMPACT
The Lasting Consequences of a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accident victims often face significant medical bills and long recovery periods. Many are unable to work, either temporarily or permanently, due to serious injuries. Emotional trauma and chronic pain can compound these financial burdens. By collaborating with medical professionals, we determine the full extent of your physical and psychological injuries to seek the maximum financial recovery possible.

FAQ
What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident in Salt Lake City?
Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical care. If you can, collect contact information
from any involved parties and take photographs of the scene and your injuries. Then, consult a local motorcycle accident attorney for legal guidance.
Does Utah have specific helmet laws for motorcyclists?
In Utah, all riders and passengers under the age of 21 are required to wear helmets. While adults over 21 are not legally required to wear helmets, doing so can help reduce injuries and may impact a claim if injuries are contested by insurance companies.
How does Utah’s modified comparative negligence rule affect my motorcycle accident claim?
If you’re found partially at fault for the accident, any compensation you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault.
Is it more difficult to prove fault in a motorcycle accident?
It can be, as some insurers may stereotype motorcyclists as risk-takers. However, thorough accident reconstruction and evidence collection (witness statements, photos, police reports) can strengthen your case. A knowledgeable Utah motorcycle accident attorney can help you fight unfair biases.
