Hit-and-Run Crashes on Utah’s I-15
Being involved in a traffic accident is traumatic enough, but when the other driver flees the scene, it adds another level of distress and uncertainty. Hit and run accidents like the one that happened near milepost 71 on I-15 can leave victims injured, shaken, and unsure of where to turn.
Under Utah law, drivers are required to remain at the scene of a crash, especially when injuries are involved. Failing to stop and render aid is a criminal offense, and victims in hit-and-run cases may still be eligible for compensation, even if the other driver is never found.
If you’ve been the victim of a hit and run, it’s important to know that your own insurance may include uninsured motorist coverage that can help pay for medical bills, car repairs, and lost wages. However, these claims can be complex and are often denied without proper legal representation.
