Car Accidents in Utah
Every year, thousands of Utah residents are injured in car crashes across the state, many in growing communities like Harrisville. These incidents often take place on local roads during routine afternoon travel. While some crashes result in only minor injuries, others have lasting consequences for those involved. Fast medical care and timely legal action are key in protecting your rights and recovery.
For anyone injured in a crash, understanding how the legal process works is essential. Here are some helpful legal facts Utah residents should know after an accident:
- Comparative Fault in Utah: Utah follows a comparative fault system, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the crash. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re found to be 50% or more responsible, you cannot recover damages.
- Statute of Limitations: In Utah, personal injury claims generally must be filed within four years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline could bar you from receiving compensation. Consulting a lawyer early ensures you meet all important legal deadlines.
- Minimum Insurance Requirements: Utah drivers must carry minimum liability coverage, including $25,000 for bodily injury per person and $65,000 per accident. If the at-fault driver has insufficient insurance, you may still have options through underinsured motorist coverage or other avenues.
- PIP Coverage Benefits: Utah’s no-fault insurance system requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers medical expenses, lost wages, and household services up to $3,000, regardless of fault. A lawyer can help ensure you maximize your available PIP benefits.
- Legal Representation Levels the Field: Insurance companies often try to limit what they pay out. With a lawyer by your side, you’ll have someone who understands how to negotiate fair settlements, present strong evidence, and advocate on your behalf if the case goes to court.
