Car Accidents in Utah
Across Utah, car accidents occur daily, often leaving those involved with painful injuries and unexpected challenges. From medical expenses to missed time at work, the impact of a collision can be far-reaching. State data continues to show that thousands of crashes happen annually, many of which take place on neighborhood roads and city streets.
Let’s look at common ways victims may recover financial compensation after a crash:
- PIP (Personal Injury Protection) Coverage: Utah law requires drivers to carry no-fault insurance, which helps cover immediate medical expenses, lost wages, and essential services. Victims can receive these benefits regardless of who caused the crash, though they may still file further claims if damages exceed PIP limits.
- Bodily Injury Liability Claims: If another driver is at fault, victims can pursue compensation through the other party’s insurance. This may include medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. It’s critical to have proper documentation and evidence to support these claims.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: If the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance—or any at all—your policy may help. This type of coverage can pay for medical costs and other damages when the responsible party lacks adequate insurance.
- Property Damage Claims: Beyond physical injuries, victims often have to deal with expensive vehicle repairs or total losses. Property damage claims help cover the cost of fixing or replacing your vehicle and may also include rental car expenses while your vehicle is out of service.
- Pain and Suffering: These damages are not always easy to calculate but may be awarded in serious injury cases. They consider how the accident has affected your emotional well-being, quality of life, and ability to perform everyday tasks.
