The Utah Legislature just passed HB 381, which will soon become law. The bill clarifies the definition of what constitutes a motorcycle and electric assisted bicycle, how tampering or modifying an electric assisted bicycle can make it a motorcycle, who can ride electric assisted bicycles and motorcycles on Utah’s highways, and who must wear a helmet while doing so.

High level summary - Electric Assisted Bicycle is a bicycle with an electric motor that: (1) has power output of less than 750 watts; (2) has fully operable pedals; (3) has permanently affixed cranks installed by the manufacturer (i.e., you can’t add the cranks after the fact); (4) can be fully operable without the electric motor; and (5) is either a programmable electric assisted bicycle or categorized as a class 1 through 3 electric assisted bicycle. If it is modified to produce more power, it will no longer be categorized as a bicycle and will be categorized as an electric motorcycle or high powered electric device.

An individual younger than 8 cannot operate an electric assisted bicycle on Utah’s highways. An individual that is 8 or older but younger than 16 can operate an electric assisted bicycle on Utah’s highways if: (1) he or she is under the DIRECT supervision of the individual’s parent or another responsible adult or (2) has obtained a personal electric safety certificate.

Anyone under the age of 21 must wear an acceptable helmet when operating an electric assisted bicycle on Utah’s highways.

Hiring the right personal injury firm matters. Our firm was recently retained by someone who was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident. During the consultation, we learned that she had two prior attorneys, that she left the first attorney because her case was not being worked on, and the second because she could never get ahold of the attorney until a low six-figure settlement offer came in, at which point she was being told to just accept it without further negotiations.

After simply working up the case, our client was able to reach a settlement for over seven-figures. Moral of the post - personal injury attorneys should be accessible and be willing to fight to get their clients what they deserve and not be afraid to turn away the easy, fast settlements. We love what we do and love fighting for our clients.

State law requires people who drive in Utah to pay for the accidents they cause. Most people do this with liability insurance. A liability policy pays to repair or replace the other driver’s car and pays other people’s medical expenses if you’re at fault in an accident.

In Utah, you must have at least $25,000 in liability coverage for each injured person, up to a total of $65,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage per accident. This basic coverage is called 25/65/15.

Because of car prices and the high cost of medical care, the minimum amounts might not be enough to pay all of the costs if you’re at fault in an accident. Other drivers/injured parties could sue you to collect the difference. This is why it’s important to consider buying more than the minimum limits to adequately protect yourself and your loved ones. We strongly recommend having at least $100,000 in coverage.

Utah requires car owners to carry at least $3,000 in personal injury protection (PIP or ‘no fault’) insurance on their auto policy. This means your own auto insurance will pay for medical costs, lost income and other related expenses if you’re injured in an accident. At Lance Bingham we handle the PIP paperwork and details for you and are happy to answer any questions you have during the process.

Pro tip: You can purchase additional PIP coverage through your auto insurance! Typically, you pay just pennies on the dollar more for increased coverage that you’ll be glad to have should an accident occur.
