Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Ogden, Utah

We all know Utah has some of the best rides in the country.  If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash there are a many reasons why you should call and talk to a trial lawyer at Mountain View Law Group. As you know, motorcycle injuries can often be more serious than automobile or bicycle crash injuries.

Why Should I Have an Attorney for my Motorcycle Crash in Utah?

Our trial lawyers know motorcycle crashes.  Our goal is to get you back, as much as possible, to where you were prior to the crash.  Without a Mountain View lawyer on your side, insurance companies know they can settle your case for far below what you need.  We have a reputation with insurance companies for aggressively negotiating case settlements on our clients’ behalf.  And if the insurance company will not negotiate fairly, we have the resources to take the case to a jury trial for a fair decision.

Showing the at Fault Driver did Not Follow the Safety Rules of the Road

We as a community know that drivers must follow the safety rules of the road to keep us all safe.  When a driver does not follow the safety rules of the road and harms someone he or she should be held responsible for the harm he or she caused.  Drivers have car insurance to pay for the injuries and harm that are caused when they choose to not follow the safety rules.  Mountain View Law Group lawyers are committed to you and will hold the at fault driver responsible for the injuries and harm caused to you.  We have decades of experience getting our clients a settlement that is fair for their injuries and harms.

What We Do for Our Clients

First, there are no upfront costs and we don’t charge anything until we win your case! The call is free, so reach out to a motorcycle crash lawyer in Ogden Utah to get your questions answered.

We will help you get the compensation you need and deserve. Your compensation may include: bike repairs, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or rehabilitation costs.

What We Know About Motorcycle Crash Cases in Utah

To build a strong claim, we must prove that the other party’s careless actions directly caused your injuries. Utah law requires that we demonstrate the driver breached a duty of care, whether by speeding, failing to yield, or driving distracted. From there, we show how that violation resulted in measurable physical and financial harm.

Our team also evaluates how Utah’s comparative fault rules may affect your claim. If the insurance company tries to shift the blame your way, we’re prepared to present detailed evidence, such as traffic camera footage and expert analysis, to push back. Working with a motorcycle accident lawyer at our firm means having someone focused on preserving your full rights under Utah law.

Why These Collisions Happen More Than They Should

We’ve handled numerous cases where riders were injured because a driver failed to take basic precautions. Left-turn accidents, rear-end impacts, and lane changes without checking blind spots are among the top causes we see. In each situation, the motorcyclist is often blamed unfairly or overlooked entirely.

In some cases, crashes involve more than just another driver. Poor signage, unsafe road conditions, or defective vehicle components may also play a role. If a city or manufacturer shares liability, we move quickly to file under the stricter deadlines that apply. Our firm’s Utah motorcycle accident lawyer is well-versed in identifying all potential sources of responsibility, not just the obvious ones.

What We Fight to Recover for Our Clients

When recovering from a crash, financial relief should reflect the full impact of the event, not just your hospital stay. We pursue damages for ongoing medical care, lost income, permanent disability, and pain and suffering. These are not optional in our view—they’re essential to restoring your quality of life.

We also account for the personal setbacks that don’t show up on invoices: emotional trauma, reduced mobility, and daily challenges caused by long-term injuries. With guidance from an Ogden motorcycle accident lawyer at our office, clients gain a clear picture of what a fair recovery looks like, and we work hard to make that a reality.

What You Should Prioritize Right After a Crash

If you’ve been in a motorcycle collision, your health comes first. Get checked by a medical professional immediately, even if symptoms are mild. Some injuries, like head trauma or internal bleeding, can worsen if left untreated. At the same time, begin documenting what happened. Save photos, witness names, and vehicle damage reports when possible.

It’s also important to be cautious when speaking to the other party’s insurer. Their adjusters are trained to ask questions that may reduce the value of your claim. Before providing any statements, we encourage you to speak with us first. You can learn more about how we approach these cases by visiting our personal injury law page.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long do I have to file a motorcycle injury claim in Utah?
    In Utah, you typically have four years to file a personal injury claim from the crash date. However, some exceptions may apply based on who is liable.
  2. What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the crash?
    Utah does not require helmets for riders over 21, but not wearing one could affect how damages are calculated if head injuries are involved.
  3. Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
    Yes. Utah follows modified comparative fault rules. As long as you’re less than 50% responsible, you can still recover damages, though your percentage of fault will reduce your award.
  4. What does it cost to talk to a lawyer?
    Initial consultations at Mountain View Law Group are free. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case.
  5. What documents should I keep?
    Keep copies of your medical records, repair estimates, crash reports, and any communication with insurance companies. These help support your claim and demonstrate the extent of your losses.
