Lehi Motorcyle Accident Lawyer

On Wednesday, July, 5th a motorcyclist was killed trying to avoid a collision in Lehi, Utah.

According to police, an SUV triggered the accident by failing to stop at a stop sign while making a left-hand turn. The SUV did not have the right of way.

The vehicle in front of the motorcycle was heading northbound and tried to evade the SUV. The motorcyclist did the same, causing him to be thrown off his bike and killed. Unfortunately he was not wearing a helmet, although it is not required by Utah state law.

This is a very unfortunate accident and can be tricky when it comes to who is responsible for the loss of another human life. When we come face to face with a crash you don’t have much time to act, thus you react instinctively.

However, there is a chance you or another person are at a higher risk of injury.
