Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Utah
Cyclists are considered one of the most vulnerable travelers on the road as they have minimal protection against large vehicles and limited rear-view visibility compared to most other vehicles. If you have been the victim of a bicycle accident, call LeBaron & Jensen today. Our bicycle accident attorneys have represented thousands of accident victims and we fight hard to ensure you receive the compensation and justice you deserve.
Should you hire an attorney for your bicycle accident?
Bike riders often suffer hard injuries from hit by a car or truck, like head trauma, spinal cord injuries, permanent scarring, bone fractures, or internal injuries. Hard injury claims are complicated and expensive.
Don’t believe the insurance adjuster who says you won’t need an attorney for your hard injury claim. The adjuster is looking out for the company profit margin, not what’s fair for you. The truth is, insurance adjusters are well-known for making lower settlement offers to injured claimants who don’t have an attorney. They know that once they’ve made their “final offer” you probably won’t have the energy or legal savvy to fight them.
There’s just too much to lose by trying to handle the insurance company on your own while struggling with serious injuries. Get the compensation you deserve. Contact a personal injury attorney to learn the full value of your claim.
Are Your Children at Risk for a Bike Accident?
Unfortunately, the majority of bicycle accidents involve children under the age of 13. Young children are vulnerable as it can be difficult for drivers to see them and they lack the on-the-road experience to predict traffic. Parents can help to reduce the risk of bike accidents for children by taking the time to educate their child of safety and traffic rules. Always insist your children wear a bike helmet. Wearing a helmet can reduce your risk of head injuries by 85%! Protect your kids and make sure they always wear a helmet.
Utah Bike Road Rules
Utah has specific rules and regulations regarding the use of bicycles. According to Utah Code Section 41-6a-10 et seq., all cyclists must follow these rules:
- Maintain control of your bicycle – Cyclists must always maintain control of their bicycle to avoid an accident. Proper control means the bike has been adjusted to the right comfort levels and all equipment is in proper place.
- Cyclists must be protected – A cyclist needs to wear proper safety equipment when they are out on the open road with vehicles. Individuals under age 18 are required by law to wear a helmet on public land.
- Be visible – Consider wearing bright clothing or adding lights to your bicycle to ensure it is visible when riding. Use proper hand signals when turning to alert traffic to your moves.
- Ride with traffic – Always ride with traffic to maintain visibility with traffic.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.
