We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, highway accidents often lead to more severe injuries due to higher travel speeds and increased vehicle volume. Thousands of people are hospitalized each year as a result of crashes on Utah interstates. In 2022, over 17,000 injury crashes were recorded on major highways statewide.
Crashes like this can lead to significant vehicle damage. Here’s what victims should know about property damage following an accident:
- Total Loss Vehicles: If your vehicle is damaged beyond repair, it may be declared a total loss. Insurance companies will typically offer a payout based on the car’s market value, not its replacement cost—often leading to financial strain.
- Rental Car Access: After a crash, it can be difficult to get around without a vehicle. Many people rely on insurance-provided rentals, but not all policies offer rental coverage, which can complicate daily routines and delay recovery.
- Delayed Repairs: Depending on parts availability, repairs can take weeks or longer. During that time, you may face transportation difficulties, added expenses, and the inconvenience of being without your primary vehicle.
- Disputes with Insurers: Damage valuations and coverage decisions often lead to disagreements. If your insurer undervalues the damage or denies coverage, you may be left with unexpected bills.
- Hidden Damage: Not all damage is immediately visible. Frame damage or drivetrain issues may not appear until the car is inspected or driven, adding to repair costs later.
- Aftermarket Part Issues: Insurance carriers sometimes approve cheaper aftermarket parts for repairs, which may not perform or last as well as original equipment. This can affect the value and safety of your car moving forward.
