Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to report thousands of injury-related vehicle accidents every year, many of which occur on busy roads like North County Boulevard. With increasing development in cities like Highland, traffic congestion often contributes to these incidents. Immediate medical attention and early legal support are essential for those affected by a crash.
Many victims are unsure what to expect in the aftermath of a car accident. Below are some key legal and practical considerations:
- Understanding Utah’s No-Fault Insurance: Utah is a no-fault state, which means your own insurance typically pays for initial medical expenses under Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, regardless of who was at fault. Knowing how to properly file under PIP can speed up treatment and reduce stress.
- When You Can Step Outside the No-Fault System: If your medical costs exceed $3,000 or your injuries are considered serious (such as permanent disability or disfigurement), you may file a claim against the at-fault driver. This can allow you to seek broader compensation, including for pain and suffering.
- Collecting Evidence Right Away: Photos, police reports, and witness statements are critical. This evidence can disappear fast, so collecting it at the scene (or having someone do it on your behalf) can strengthen your claim.
- Medical Documentation and Follow-Up: Be sure to follow up with any recommended treatments or specialist visits. Insurance companies often use gaps in care to argue that your injuries aren’t serious or related to the crash.
