Motorcycle season is here in Utah, and with it comes increased risks on the road. In a June 23 interview with Castle Country Radio, Attorney Steven Jensen from Parker & McConkie shared vital tips to help riders stay safe—and know their rights—if accidents happen.
🎙️ Highlights from the Interview
- Always Wear Proper Protective Gear
Helmets, padded jackets, gloves, and boots significantly reduce the severity of injuries. “Even short rides require full protection,” Jensen emphasized. - Assume Motorists Don’t See You
Most motorcycle crashes occur because drivers fail to yield—especially at intersections. Riders must anticipate being overlooked and ride defensively. - Boost Your Visibility
Use reflective gear, ride with headlights on, and avoid lingering in vehicle blind spots to stay seen—even during daytime hours. - Know Your Legal Rights After a Crash
“Riders are often unfairly blamed,” Jensen explains. Proper legal guidance is essential to secure fair compensation after a motorcycle accident. - Review Your Insurance Coverage
Minimum coverage isn’t always enough. Consider uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage to protect yourself fully.
Why These Tips Matter
Every year, Utah riders suffer serious injuries from preventable accidents. With proper gear, awareness, and strong legal support, you can reduce risk and recover rights following a crash.
