Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, motor vehicle accidents are an ongoing issue—particularly in rapidly developing areas like South Ogden. On average, the state sees more than 60,000 crashes per year, many resulting in significant injury or property damage. Rush hour traffic, distracted driving, and winter road conditions are just some of the common factors that contribute to these accidents.
For victims and their families, understanding the legal process can make a major difference after a crash. Below are important considerations related to insurance claims in Utah:
- Utah Is a No-Fault State :Under Utah law, each driver’s own insurance pays for initial medical expenses and other minor losses, regardless of who caused the crash. This is known as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage.
- When Can You File a Lawsuit?: If your medical expenses exceed $3,000 or you suffer serious injury, you may step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver. This allows you to seek damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.
- Dealing with Insurance Adjusters: After an accident, you may be contacted by your insurer and the other party’s insurer. Always be cautious about giving statements or signing documents without legal advice, as these can affect your compensation.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: In cases where the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough insurance—or any at all—your own policy’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help fill the gap.
- Delays in Payment: Insurance companies may slow-walk payments or offer less than what you’re owed. An attorney can step in to push for faster, fairer results on your behalf.
