Car Accidents in Utah
The Utah Department of Public Safety reports that tens of thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur annually across the state. In 2023, more than 26,000 of these crashes involved injuries. From busy highways to local roads like Main Street, these incidents are a persistent issue for drivers across Utah.
For many people, what comes after the accident is just as challenging as the crash itself. Here’s what to be aware of:
- Property Damage and Valuation Disputes: After an accident, dealing with damaged or totaled vehicles can be frustrating. Insurance providers often undervalue the cost of repairs or replacement vehicles, leaving victims to cover the difference.
- Rental Vehicle Hassles: When a car is in the shop, rental costs can stack up quickly. Even if insurance offers a rental, coverage often has daily or total cost limits, which may not be enough to match your needs.
- Missed Appointments and Disruptions: Crashes often lead to missed work, doctor appointments, and important responsibilities. The disruption adds stress and forces victims to rearrange their lives with little notice.
- Unseen Injuries: Some injuries—like soft tissue damage or mild concussions—aren’t immediately visible. These can worsen over time and affect long-term wellbeing if not addressed properly.
In these situations, working with a skilled car accident attorney can make a significant difference in how claims are handled and resolved.
