Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to see thousands of car accidents each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, over 61,000 motor vehicle crashes occurred statewide in 2023 alone. These incidents resulted in nearly 26,000 injuries and more than 280 fatalities. With distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving remaining top contributors, efforts to reduce crash rates remain a priority across the state. Utah leaders encourage safe driving habits and increased awareness to reduce these numbers.
Understanding what steps to take after a crash is vital. Here are some important points to consider after an accident:
- What to Do Immediately After the Crash: First, assess your injuries and check on passengers. Call 911 immediately and provide accurate details of the location and any injuries. If it’s safe, move vehicles out of traffic to prevent further collisions. Never admit fault at the scene—let the investigators determine that.
- Document the Scene and Exchange Information: Use your phone to take photos of all damage, vehicle positions, and any relevant road conditions or signage. Collect names, phone numbers, insurance information, and driver’s license numbers from all parties involved.
- Seek Medical Attention Promptly: Even if injuries seem minor, it’s essential to get evaluated. Certain injuries—like whiplash or internal trauma—may not show symptoms right away. Quick medical attention can also help if legal claims arise.
- Report the Accident to Insurance and Keep Records: Notify your insurance company and open a claim. Keep detailed records of all medical visits, repair receipts, and communications related to the crash.
- Avoid Discussing the Crash on Social Media: Anything you post can potentially be used during a claim process. It’s best to keep accident details off public platforms and direct all case-related conversations to your attorney.
