Many Factors Determine Your Accident Liability

A claim arising from a bicycle accident consists of two components, liability, and damages. While damages deal with the consequences caused by the injuries sustained in the bicycle accident (i.e., medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, loss of enjoyment/quality of life, etc.), liability deals with fault. Because Utah is a comparative fault state, a bicyclist may be entitled to damages even if his or her conduct helped cause the bicycle accident.
