Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes like this one are reported every day across Utah’s roadways. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, over 17,000 injury-causing accidents took place last year alone.

If you’ve been involved in a crash, here are several steps you can take after leaving the scene to protect yourself and your recovery:
- Follow Medical Advice Closely: Attend all follow-up appointments and adhere to prescribed treatments. Doing so strengthens both your physical recovery and your legal claim.
- Keep a Recovery Journal: Documenting your pain levels, physical limitations, and emotional changes helps illustrate the full impact of the crash over time.
- Save All Receipts and Bills: From medical invoices to out-of-pocket expenses like prescriptions and transportation, these costs are often eligible for reimbursement in a claim.
- Avoid Social Media Posts: Insurance companies may monitor your social media. Posting about your recovery or the crash could be used against your case.
- Consult a Legal Team Early: Speaking with a lawyer soon after the accident ensures you’re guided in the right direction before important decisions are made.
