What Caused Your Motorcycle Crash?
At Younker Hyde Macfarlane, PLLC, we have a profound understanding of motorcycle accidents. In fact, as motorcycle riders ourselves, we have been in these accidents and can relate to your situation.
We understand that a variety of circumstances can lead to a motorcycle accident. Over the last several decades, our lawyers have represented riders injured because of:
A high percentage of fatal car and motorcycle accidents are caused by speeding.
When other drivers become distracted behind the wheel, it puts motorcyclists at risk.
Wet roads and poor driving conditions can make it dangerous to steer and control a motorcycle.
We Have a Personal Passion For Motorcycle Injury Cases
When you and your family are suffering from the damaging effects of a motorcycle accident, it can help to work with Utah motorcycle accident lawyers who truly understand what you are going through. One of our firm's partners, John Macfarlane, has a deeply personal connection to the life-long impacts of motorcycle crashes.
Mr. Macfarlane's father was grievously injured in a motorcycle crash when he was only 17 years old. He lost his leg as a result of the accident, meaning the majority of his life was affected by a split-second crash. John saw firsthand the pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life a motorcycle accident causes. His own family experience provides him an additional motivation to fight for Utah victims and obtain the most compensation possible.

Wrongful death left me navigating the most difficult time of life I will likely experience... John MacFarlane was my attorney. He was honest, caring and easy to talk to, listened well and went the extra mile. By the time it was over I felt like I had not only gained the accountability I was deserved, I also felt like my team at YHM was family.

Settlements and Damages for Financial and Non-Financial Losses
The attorneys at our Salt Lake City, UT, injury law office will work to maximize your recovery if you have suffered injuries after a motorcycle accident. In a motorcycle accident case, damages can potentially be awarded for medical expenses, future medical expenses, reconstructive surgery costs, loss of wages, inhibited earning capacity, loss of future wages should the rider no longer be able to work, and pain and suffering.
When negotiating settlements or seeking legal damages, our motorcycle accident lawyers fight to ensure you receive a fair amount from insurance companies and negligent parties. There are several legal avenues through which you can receive compensation, including:
Pre-Trial Settlements
Most motorcycle accident cases do not go to trial. Instead, they are settled out of court to avoid lengthy legal battles. Our motorcycle accident lawyers will help negotiate a fair settlement that accounts for the hardships endured as well as those ahead.
Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages are sought in a trial to cover the material and financial losses caused by the accident. This may include medical bills, property damage, emotional pain and suffering, lost future earnings, and funerary expenses.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages may also be sought in the trial. Going beyond compensatory damages, punitive damages punish the negligent party for their actions. The amount awarded is determined by the nature of the motorcycle accident.
Our Impressive Expert Witnesses Help Us Win Major Cases
Over the course of their careers, our attorneys have developed an impressive roster of expert witnesses they call upon to win cases. These include expert accident reconstructionists and renowned medical authorities:
Motorcyclists Have Many Rights Reach Out to Protect Yours
Our Utah motorcycle accident lawyers have handled countless cases. We know the tactics that the other driver's representatives will employ – and we will fight against them.
For example, they may blame you for your injuries by saying you were not wearing a helmet. The truth is, Utah law does not require you to wear one. You may also be wrongfully blamed for your accident if you were traveling between stopped cars and lanes. If you were doing this, you were likely totally within your legal rights.
Our attorneys draw upon all relevant motorcycle laws to protect our clients. Visit our Salt Lake City law office so we can help you.
