Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes on Utah’s interstates, like I-15, are unfortunately common. With high traffic volumes and faster speeds, even minor mistakes can lead to serious injuries. According to the Utah Highway Safety Office, interstate crashes make up a significant portion of the state’s injury-related accidents, especially during mid-morning or early afternoon hours.
Navigating the legal side of a crash is often overwhelming. Here’s what victims should understand about Utah personal injury cases:
- Fault Must Be Determined: Utah follows a modified comparative fault system. If you’re found to be less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages—but the compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Deadlines Apply: In Utah, personal injury claims must typically be filed within four years of the crash. However, certain factors—like claims involving government vehicles—may have shorter deadlines.
- Insurance May Not Be Enough: Drivers are required to carry minimum liability coverage, but serious crashes can exceed those limits. When that happens, additional legal action may be needed to recover full compensation.
- Settlements Are Final: Once you accept an insurance settlement, you usually can’t reopen your claim. Always consult a lawyer before signing anything to ensure your future needs are covered.
- Documentation Strengthens Your Case: Photos, witness statements, medical records, and repair invoices all serve as evidence. The more organized your case file, the stronger your position during negotiations or trial.
