Salt Lake City Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents are, unfortunately, a common occurrence on Utah roads. Despite happening less frequently than car wrecks, motorcycle collisions are much more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities. In fact, motorcyclists are 9.9 times more likely to die in a crash than other motorists.
These statistics are unfortunate and highlight the grim consequences of motorcycle crashes. If you or a loved one has been involved in one of these mishaps, you likely know firsthand how severe they can be. In the aftermath of a wreck, do you have someone you can turn to for assistance getting compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more? Make The Law Office of Erik L. Mullins your first call.
At our firm, we advocate tirelessly for Utahans whose lives have been changed by all kinds of accidents, including motorcycle wrecks.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes can happen in a split second. All it takes is a driver’s moment of carelessness or a sudden road hazard to cause a devastating accident.
Some of the most common causes include the following:
- Distracted driving: This includes texting, eating, adjusting the radio, and any other activity that takes hands off the wheel or eyes off the road.
- Lane splitting: This practice involves riding between lanes of moving traffic. It is prohibited in Utah.
- Speeding: Excessive speed not only reduces a motorcyclist’s reaction time but also increases the severity of injuries in the event of a crash.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, coordination, and overall driving ability.
- Road hazards: Potholes, debris, and wet/icy road conditions can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists.
- Left-hand turns: Collisions often occur when a driver turning left fails to yield to an oncoming motorcycle.

Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident
In the aftermath of a crash, you will have numerous things to worry about, from your own health and work to fulfilling family obligations. Amid this whirlwind, you may find it difficult to know how to get the compensation you need.
Follow these steps to support your recovery, protect your rights, and increase your case’s strength:
- Seek medical attention: Your health and safety are paramount. Even if you do not think you are hurt, certain health issues may not be immediately apparent and can worsen over time. Additionally, seeing a doctor will help affirm your injury claim’s legitimacy.
- Document everything: Collect and keep all documents related to the accident, including police reports, medical records, repair estimates, and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Do not immediately repair your motorcycle: It is important to have your motorcycle examined by a professional before making any repairs. This will provide evidence of the extent of damage and can be used to support your claim.
- Refrain from speaking with insurance adjusters: Insurance companies may try to offer you a low settlement or get you to make statements that could harm your case. It is best to consult with an attorney before speaking with them.
- Contact a Salt Lake City motorcycle accident lawyer: A skilled attorney like ours at The Law Office of Erik L. Mullins can communicate with insurance representatives for you and guide you through the process of making a claim. If necessary, our lawyer can pursue damages in court.
