Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roadways see thousands of accidents each year. From small town streets to major interstates, collisions continue to impact drivers across the state. In 2022, Utah recorded over 26,000 injury-causing crashes. Communities like American Fork are not immune to these risks, especially during peak evening traffic hours.
When someone is involved in a crash, it’s important to know how liability and responsibility are determined:
- Police Reports Play a Key Role: The official report filed by officers can include diagrams, statements, and preliminary assessments of fault. Insurance companies often rely heavily on these details when deciding who’s responsible.
- Utah Follows Comparative Fault: This means more than one party can share blame. For example, if a driver is found to be 20% at fault, their compensation can be reduced by that amount. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you may not recover damages at all.
- Video and Photo Evidence Matters: Dashcams, surveillance cameras, and cell phone photos can be crucial in proving what happened. These images can clear up disputes and give context that witness statements alone might miss.
- Witnesses Can Strengthen a Case: Independent witnesses—such as bystanders or nearby drivers—can offer third-party perspectives that confirm or challenge other accounts. Their testimony is often persuasive during negotiations or in court.
