Motorcycle Accidents Result in Severe Injuries

Motorcycle accidents are generally considered the worst type of crash since motorcycles can be driven at high speeds and do not offer their riders much protection. Researchers have noted that 98% result in injuries. Many accidents end in serious injury or death. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the division of the U.S. Department of Transportation tasked with road safety, has noted that a motorcycle rider is 8 times more likely to be injured and 37 times more likely to die in an accident than the occupant of a car in an automobile accident. In the past decade, accident deaths have doubled, in part due to more motorcycles being purchased each year, not only by younger riders who have less experience riding but, increasingly, by riders over 40 who have slower reaction times. Also, there is more congestion on our streets and drivers travel at faster speeds.

Common Motorcycle Injuries

30% of all motorcycle injuries are to the legs and feet. 22% of injuries are to the head and neck. Serious injuries can be limited if the rider uses quality safety equipment. For instance, a helmet should cover the entire face, fit well, and be less than 5 years old. The glue that holds the protective material together deteriorates over time, and a poorly-fitting helmet may come apart during an accident.

I was involved in a motorcycle crash and had no idea how to handle the hospital and doctor bills or the insurance for that matter. I worked with Nate at William R. Rawlings & Associates and he was able to handle everything quickly and fairly. I would recommend them to anyone who is in a similar situation. They knew exactly who to call to wrap up my case quickly.

I had an issue that I wanted to sue for I contacted two other big firms. If I said their name, you would know who they are. None of them took it because it wouldn’t make them enough money. I was just flat told that I reached out to these William Rollins and associates as a referral and we were able to get to a settlement that I was happy with Matt kept me informed the entire time of what was going on what was coming up and how the process works. Answered all questions even when I kept him on the phone for a long time. Would highly recommend.

I was referred to Ryne Jones with William Rawlings and Associates. I could not have been more fortunate. Immediately, Ryne made me feel comfortable and confident that he would work hard to resolve my case. He was always responsive to me as my case progressed and kept me informed. I would highly recommend Ryne Jones!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most personal injury claims are settled through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, without having to go to court. At William Rawlings & Associates, we successfully settle almost 98% of our accident cases outside of court. However, if the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement covering all your present and future losses, we are fully prepared to represent you in court to secure the compensation you deserve.

In Utah, most car insurance policies include at least $3,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which helps pay for medical bills regardless of who was at fault. However, it’s common for medical expenses to go over that initial coverage.

If you have health insurance, you can submit the remaining bills through your provider. If you don’t, a Utah car accident lawyer at William Rawlings & Associates can help. We’ll contact your medical providers and arrange a medical lien, allowing you to continue receiving necessary care—from physical therapy to surgery—without upfront payment. Your providers agree to wait for payment until your case is settled, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the legal and financial details.
