Two women are recovering after being hit while riding their bicycles in two separate incidents, reports the KSL news. The first Utah bicycle accident occurred near 600 South and 200 West at about 3 pm on Monday, May, 25.  A driver was leaving the parking lot and hit the biker who was riding on the sidewalk. The biker was not wearing a helmet and was taken to the hospital in serious condition. The driver was cited for improper lookout.

Less than an hour later, a second female cyclist was hit by a vehicle as she rode through the intersection of 700 South and 1100 East. The driver made a rolling stop through the stop sign and hit the cyclist in the intersection. The cyclists sustained minor injuries. The driver of the vehicle  was cited for failure to stop at a stop sign.

Both bicyclists have a claim against the insurance companies of the vehicles that hit them. Obviously, vehicles are required to obey traffic laws and yield to bicyclists as if they were another vehicle. In turn, bicyclists agree to obey the same traffic laws as vehicles. I recommend the bikers contact an experienced bicycle attorney in Utah that will help them receive compensation for their accidents
