Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motor vehicle collisions are a leading source of accidental injuries throughout Utah. Each year, thousands of people are hurt in crashes that could have been avoided if drivers had stayed focused and followed the rules of the road. Increasing traffic volumes and distracted driving continue to play a role in many of these incidents. Staying alert, obeying speed limits, and giving the road your full attention are simple ways to help protect yourself and others.
It’s equally important to know what steps to take immediately following a crash:
- Stay at the Scene: Never leave the site of an accident until it’s appropriate to do so. Leaving could complicate any insurance claims or investigations and may even result in legal trouble.
- Call for Help: Dial 911 as soon as you can. Prompt medical and police response helps ensure everyone’s safety and documents important details about the incident.
- Exchange Information: Share your insurance and contact details with other drivers involved. Be sure to get names and phone numbers from witnesses, too.
- Take Photos and Notes: Pictures of the vehicles, surroundings, and visible injuries can be strong evidence for your claim. Jot down your memory of how the accident happened while it’s still fresh.
Following these steps helps protect your health and your rights after a crash.
