Utah Bicycle Accident Lawyer
On average, 372 cyclists are injured each year in collisions with motor vehicles in Utah. In addition, five more are killed. For the injured cyclists and their families, their crashes represent a life-altering event. One moment they are riding their bike and enjoying the outdoors, the next they are laying, injured, on the asphalt. Many of these crashes are caused by motorists who fail to notice or respect the cyclist on the road.
The days and weeks following a bicycle crash are predictable. Police and rescue personnel respond to the scene of the crash. The cyclist visits the emergency room and is treated for injuries. They go home to rest and recover. They visit a number of physicians and therapists for ongoing medical care. They probably have to take a few days, weeks, or even longer off of work to recover from injuries. But what is not predictable is what happens next. Some people will be given lowball settlement offers from the insurance adjuster. Others may be told they are not entitled to compensation. But the truly wise ones will contact a Utah bicycle crash attorney, like the team of lawyers with the Law Firm of Kass & Moses.
