Car Accidents in Utah
Utah drivers face significant risks on city streets and intersections. Each year, more than 60,000 crashes are recorded statewide, often resulting in injuries and serious disruptions. While rural and highway collisions are common, urban areas like Ogden also experience a high number of accidents due to congestion, distracted driving, and pedestrian activity. Safety remains a major concern in communities large and small.
Below is a look at how motor vehicle accidents often affect the legal side of a person’s recovery:
- Filing Injury Claims: After an accident, victims typically file personal injury claims with the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, adjusters may challenge the severity of injuries or the cause of the crash. Having documentation from medical providers and an attorney’s guidance strengthens your case.
- Dealing with Uninsured Drivers: Utah law requires drivers to carry insurance, but not everyone follows the rules. If the other driver has no coverage, you may need to rely on your uninsured motorist policy. This process can still involve delays or low settlement offers.
- Understanding Comparative Fault: Utah follows a comparative fault system. If you’re found partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced. An attorney can help dispute unfair fault percentages and defend your version of the incident.
- Statute of Limitations: Victims in Utah generally have four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. But waiting too long can hurt your chances, especially if evidence fades or injuries aren’t immediately reported.
- Gathering Crash Evidence: Accident scenes often provide critical information—skid marks, vehicle positions, witness accounts. Taking photos, gathering police reports, and contacting a lawyer early can make all the difference in proving your case.
