Car Accidents in Utah
Interstate accidents in Utah often result in serious injuries due to high speeds and limited stopping distance. Crashes on major routes like I-15 can lead to extended closures, multi-vehicle involvement, and complex investigations. Many occur in the early morning hours, when fatigue and visibility issues are common contributors.
For victims, the aftermath of a highway crash can be overwhelming. Below are important steps that can help improve outcomes and protect your health and rights:
- Call 911 Immediately: Always report an interstate accident. Even minor crashes on high-speed roadways can quickly escalate into dangerous situations, especially when other vehicles approach at speed.
- Get to a Safe Area: If possible, move to the shoulder or a safe distance from the roadway. Secondary crashes are common on interstates, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions.
- Collect Information: If you’re able, gather driver details, license plates, and witness contacts. Photos of the scene can also help document damage and road conditions.
- Seek Medical Attention: Injuries from highway crashes often aren’t immediately obvious. Whiplash, concussions, and internal injuries may surface hours later. A doctor’s evaluation is key for both treatment and legal claims.
- Consult an Attorney: Legal advice is crucial when dealing with interstate accidents. A car accident attorney can help you deal with insurance companies and understand your rights.
