Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Motorcycle riders experience heightened risk for accidents, and when they are victim to them, tend to have worse damages and injuries than auto accidents, due to their increased vulnerability. These accidents are more likely to result in serious injury and even death, since motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars and riders don’t have a protective barrier between themselves and the road. While motorcycles are entitled to the same rights on the road as other drivers and are required to follow traffic laws, many drivers do not respect these rights and are negligent and ignorant in how they drive around motorcycles. Motorcyclists usually are not at fault for motorcycle accidents, yet with the common lack of knowledge in regards to motorcycle laws, these claims can be incredibly difficult to navigate without the representation of an experienced attorney.
A motorcyclist who is victim to an accident as a result of another driver’s negligence is entitled to pursue financial compensation. However, insurance companies will do whatever they can to avoid paying you the amount you deserve. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen have extensive experience fighting motorcycle accident cases and know all the tactics that insurance companies use to dodge giving accident victims their deserved compensation. We take imminent legal action in order to protect you and ensure that you receive every penny you’re deserved. After an accident, your focus should be on recovery. We do the work so you don’t have to and will make sure that you receive a fair settlement.
Factors Impacting Motorcycle Accidents
There are many factors that impact motorcycle accidents. In order to have a successful claim, your attorney will need to prove that you were less than 50% responsible for the accident, and will do so with evidence such as the negligence of the other party, proof that you were adhering to traffic laws, and information such as photos from the scene. Some of the factors that contribute to motorcycle accidents include:
- Visual Recognition: Motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles on the road. Especially at intersections, it can be harder for drivers to see them.
- Driver Negligence: Drivers commonly cause accidents through not watching for motorcycles and not respecting their right to the road. Failure to signal when coming into your lane, not yielding right of way, trying to pass you within the same lane, following too closely, and not seeing you are several ways drivers are negligent in how they act around motorcycles.
- Lack Of A Barrier Between The Rider And The Road: While occupants of cars are surrounded by metal which offers protection in the event of an accident, motorcyclists don’t have this protection. Safety equipment such as helmets offer an element of protection, but this doesn’t change the fact that there’s no barrier between motorcyclists and the road.
- Riding Skills: Motorcycles take a lot of skill to use. Sometimes, people try to drive them without the appropriate skill level or the necessary license. Additionally, sometimes motorcyclists engage in high-risk behavior, such as driving between lanes of traffic, which is illegal in many states, which puts them in more danger.
- Road Hazard: Potholes, wet pavement, uneven surfaces, and debris on the road may pose only a small risk to cars, but they pose a significant one for motorcycles and can result in an accident.
- Speed “Wobble” Accidents: Especially at high speeds, motorcycles can shake or “wobble”, often as a result of manufacturing issues. In such a case, the manufacturer may be held liable for the accident.

A settlement is always better than negotiating or fighting with difficult to read Pleadings. What is Chase's strategy? To get great results and stay out of court.

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.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
