Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of Utah residents are injured in car accidents each year, many of which happen along major freeways such as Interstate 15. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, speeding, fatigue, and inattentive driving are common causes of late-night crashes. Even minor incidents on the freeway can lead to serious outcomes due to high speeds and limited visibility.
Being involved in a crash often leads to questions about legal liability and how to file a successful claim. Here’s what you should know about how these cases are resolved:
- Establishing Negligence: To pursue compensation, an injured party must prove the other driver acted negligently. This might involve distracted driving, failure to signal, or not adjusting for traffic conditions. Gathering witness statements and camera footage can help support the claim.
- Proving Damages: Injury cases must show evidence of loss. This includes hospital records, repair invoices, and proof of time off work. The more thorough your documentation, the stronger your case becomes when negotiating a settlement.
- Utah’s Comparative Fault Rule: Utah follows a modified comparative fault system. If a victim is found partially at fault, their compensation is reduced by their percentage of fault. However, if they are 50% or more at fault, they may not recover any damages.
- Filing Deadlines: Utah law sets a time limit for filing personal injury lawsuits. Victims typically have four years from the date of the accident. Delaying legal action can jeopardize a claim, making early legal consultation essential.
