Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roadways see thousands of crashes each year, and Ogden is no exception. Morning hours can be particularly dangerous as traffic builds and drivers rush to work or school. Many of these accidents are caused by distracted driving, following too closely, or failing to yield at intersections.
Understanding what happens after an accident—and what you may be entitled to—can make a big difference. Here’s what you should know about the legal process after a crash:
- Your First Step: File a Claim: After a crash, the first move is usually to report the accident to your insurance company. You’ll also need to file a claim for medical expenses and property damage. This is where having strong documentation becomes essential.
- No-Fault Coverage and PIP Benefits: Utah’s no-fault system means your own insurance covers initial medical bills and lost wages through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), no matter who caused the crash. These benefits cover basic needs but may not fully address long-term damages.
- When to Step Outside No-Fault: If your injuries are severe or your medical bills exceed $3,000, you can pursue a claim against the other driver. This opens the door to compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages not covered by PIP.
- Settlement Negotiations: Most injury claims are resolved through settlement. Your attorney will gather evidence, calculate your losses, and work to negotiate a fair agreement. If a settlement isn’t possible, the case may proceed to court.
- How Long Do You Have?: Utah law gives you four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Still, acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
