While many motorcyclists are labeled as reckless, we here at Robert J. DeBry know that safety is a concern to you as a rider. Interestingly enough, many of our motorcycle accident lawyers are passionate about riding and have owned motorcycles for years.
WHAT IS A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER?
With over 1.3 million lawyers in the United States, only a small percentage of them are equipped to handle the intricacies of motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle accidents are often more dangerous than auto accidents and result in a higher rate of fatalities. This means motorcycle accident lawyers have to be able to assess each accident with confident expertise and pinpoint legal decisions to build the most substantial claim possible for accident victims.
Our legal professionals here at Robert J. Debry are happy to help if you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident. Don’t just call any law firm; let us investigate your accident and help you determine who was responsible. For the help you need, call us at 801-888-8888 or fill out a free initial consultation form.
THE TOP CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Even the safest riders can face a severe accident. Our Utah motorcycle accident lawyers handle these claims every day and notice these common causes of motorcycle accidents:
- Dangerous Road Conditions
Motorcycles are easy to lose control of when it comes to potholes, road construction, and other drivers’ lack of proper signage. - Failure to Yield
By the time a driver sees a motorcyclist, whether it be in a four-way intersection or a parking lot, it may be too late. Often drivers don’t spot incoming motorcyclists until a collision is inevitably close.
We here at Robert J. DeBry will work hard to make sure the party that caused your accident is held accountable because we know Utah traffic laws. We can help if you were involved in a motorcycle accident that led to a severe injury.

Experts in Utah Motorcycle Laws
Motorcycles are categorized as motor vehicles in the state of Utah. This means that anyone operating a motorcycle should have insurance to ride. Here are the minimum insurance requirements in Utah:
- Bodily Injury Coverage
With this coverage, $25,000 should be provided per injured person and $68,000 for all injured persons involved in the accident. - Property Damage Coverage
For other vehicles, private or public property damaged in the accident, riders must carry at least $15,000 in repair coverage.
Those riding motorcycles face more significant dangers than people driving cars, which is why appropriate insurance coverage is a must for motorcyclists. If at-fault drivers don’t have the proper insurance, uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage are introduced to provide fair compensation to motorcyclists. However, you should always buy additional coverage so that you can protect yourself and your passengers reasonably.
