If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, you know that even the most cautious of cyclists cannot always prevent an accident. In fact, most bicycle accidents happen, at least in part, because of the negligence of others.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
Although negligent drivers are often to blame, bicyclists may sometimes share some of the fault in these collisions. When this is the case, an injured cyclist can still seek compensation for their damages. Under Utah’s modified comparative fault rule, an injured party can file a claim as long as they are less than 50% at fault. Additionally, when there is shared fault, the injured person’s recovery will be reduced by their percentage of fault in the incident.
In Utah, bicyclists who are injured in accidents are covered by no-fault insurance. This means that if you have auto insurance that meets the state’s minimum requirements, you can file a claim with your own auto insurance provider regardless of who was at fault for the collision.
Your personal injury protection, or PIP, coverage pays up to $3,000 in necessary and reasonable medical expenses, as well as a portion of your lost wages for up to 12 months.
However, PIP coverage is often not enough, and in some cases an injured cyclist may not have auto insurance at all. You could have grounds to file a third-party injury claim against an at-fault party if you can prove that their negligent or wrongful conduct was the cause of your injuries.
Proving negligence typically involves an in-depth investigation into how the accident occurred and whether any of the other parties involved acted negligently or violated the law. At Steele Adams Hosman, our Salt Lake City bicycle accident attorneys work with accident reconstructionists, expert witnesses, medical professionals, and other specialists to evaluate our clients’ injuries and damages, identify the liable party or parties, and aggressively pursue maximum compensation.
