How No-Fault Insurance Works in Bike and Pedestrian AccidentsBicyclists and pedestrians who are injured in accidents are covered by the no-fault auto insurance of the vehicle that hit them. If the vehicle is uninsured, then the injured person is covered by their own no-fault auto insurance or the no-fault insurance of a member of their household. Utah no-fault insurance pays up to $3,000 in medical expenses with no co-pays or deductibles. If a doctor certifies you as having work restrictions, you can also receive a percentage of lost wages for up to 12 months. Our lawyers will file your no-fault claim for you at no charge.
