Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, vehicle accidents are among the most common causes of injury. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of people suffer injuries in crashes on city streets, rural roads, and highways. While many drivers follow the rules of the road, others make reckless choices that put everyone in danger. Knowing what to do after an accident can help you protect your rights and make recovery a little easier.
One important aspect to understand is the role insurance companies play after a crash. Here are some key points:
- Dealing With Adjusters: Insurance adjusters may seem friendly but often try to minimize payouts. Be cautious when providing statements and never admit fault without speaking to an attorney first.
- Preserving Evidence: Keep copies of medical bills, repair estimates, and photos from the scene. Strong documentation helps support your claim and prevents the insurer from undervaluing your damages.
- Medical Treatment: Always follow through with recommended treatment. Insurers may argue that gaps in care mean your injuries aren’t serious, which could reduce your settlement.
- Recorded Statements: Never agree to a recorded statement without legal advice. Insurance companies may use your words against you later.
- Timelines: Be aware of deadlines for filing claims. Waiting too long can jeopardize your right to recover compensation for your losses.
