Car Accidents in Utah
Interstate 15 is one of Utah’s busiest highways and sees a high rate of crashes, particularly in areas like Salt Lake County. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports that high-speed, multi-lane routes contribute to thousands of collisions each year—often resulting in injuries and major delays for commuters.
If you’re involved in a highway crash, here’s what you need to know:
- High-Speed Crashes Can Cause Hidden Injuries: Whiplash, concussions, or internal trauma may not be immediately obvious. A full medical evaluation ensures your safety and helps build a legal record.
- Shoulder Accidents Pose Ongoing Risk: Pulling onto the shoulder after a crash is often necessary—but dangerous. Always use caution when exiting your vehicle and wait for authorities in a safe location.
- Official Reports Support Your Claim: A Utah Highway Patrol report will include crash diagrams, road conditions, and witness statements. This information is crucial for any insurance or legal action.
- Traffic Cameras May Provide Evidence: Many crashes near interchanges are caught on traffic cams. Your attorney may be able to request footage to support your claim.
- Don’t Rush to Settle: Insurance companies may offer a fast payout, but these offers often undervalue the cost of care, time off work, and long-term impact.
