At ReshLaw Accident & Injury, our Tooele motorcycle accident lawyer represents riders who have been seriously injured in collisions across Tooele County. Motorcycle accidents on SR-36, I-80, and the winding roads near the Oquirrh Mountains can result in catastrophic injuries.
In 2025, motorcycle fatalities in Utah rose by 32%, reaching alarming levels according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. Yet they account for over 15% of traffic deaths, showing the high risk of riding. We help victims recover medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering while navigating the complex personal injury process.
Riders face unique dangers, from winter black ice to distracted drivers on long rural stretches.

Our team navigates insurance companies’ tactics and ensures the responsible party cannot escape liability. Every case is handled with the goal of maximizing compensation while guiding clients through the legal process.
Motorcycle crashes in Tooele County differ from typical urban accidents in Salt Lake City. Rural roads, high-speed highways, and recreational traffic increase the severity of injuries. Riders are vulnerable to drivers’ errors and environmental hazards.
Left-hand turns remain a leading cause of crashes. Drivers often "look but do not see" motorcycles. According to NHTSA data, nearly 37% of motorcyclist fatalities occur at intersections. These accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, or wrongful death claims. Witness statements and police reports are critical for establishing fault.
Many crashes involve cell phone use or driver inattention. Motorists may fail to notice slowing motorcycles on long stretches, such as Highway 36. These rear-end collisions often cause spinal cord injuries or road rash requiring extensive medical care.
Loose gravel, potholes, or poorly marked construction zones increase crash risk. Winter weather car accidents on black ice also endanger riders. Premises liability claims may arise if municipalities fail to maintain roads safely. Accident reconstruction and expert testimony can support these cases.
Knowing Utah motorcycle laws is vital for protecting yourself and maximizing a personal injury claim. Our lawyers advise clients on rules that affect liability and compensation. Understanding these legal nuances can prevent insurance companies from denying claims.
Utah allows motorcycles to filter between lanes under strict conditions defined by House Bill 149. Violating HB 149—such as filtering on roads with speed limits above 45 mph—may reduce compensation or create comparative negligence arguments. We help riders document proper lane filtering to strengthen their case.
Utah law does not require helmets for adult riders. However, helmet use can affect medical outcomes and injury settlements. Comparative negligence rules may reduce compensation if insurance companies argue that the lack of a helmet contributed to injuries.
Riders have four years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit under Utah personal injury law. Certain exceptions may extend deadlines in wrongful death or government claims. Missing this window can forfeit your right to compensation, so prompt consultation with a Tooele personal injury attorney is critical.
Victims may recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, and property repair. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of consortium.
We aggressively negotiate with insurance companies or pursue jury trials when necessary. Our goal is to secure a fair injury settlement for each client.
