What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Utah?

Call 911 immediately and get medical treatment even if you feel fine -- adrenaline can mask serious injuries. File a police report at the scene. Photograph the crash site, road conditions, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries before leaving. Get the other driver's insurance and contact information. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

Utah is a modified no-fault state, but motorcycles are excluded from the mandatory PIP (Personal Injury Protection) requirement. This means motorcycle accident victims in Utah have the right to pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver without exhausting PIP coverage first. This is one of the most important distinctions between motorcycle claims and car accident claims in Utah.

Utah's statute of limitations for motorcycle accident injury claims is four years from the date of the crash under Utah Code Section 78B-2-307. Missing this deadline permanently bars recovery. However, evidence disappears quickly -- call BAM Injury Law as soon as possible after any crash.
