Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, thousands of people are hurt each year in car accidents. Many of these injuries require hospitalization, long-term care, or therapy. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports that driver behavior is a leading factor in most collisions, from distractions to failure to yield. Ongoing awareness and safer driving practices are key to reducing crash rates.
Following a crash, knowing what to do next can ease stress and help protect your health and rights. Here are the steps you should always take after a car accident:
- Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if injuries aren’t obvious, getting evaluated is essential. Some conditions, like internal bleeding or concussions, may not present symptoms right away. Prompt medical care can also create a clear record of your injuries, which is helpful if you pursue a legal claim.
- Call Law Enforcement: Reporting the crash helps ensure an official record is filed. This police report will often include vital details like diagrams, witness names, and initial observations of fault, which are useful for insurance and legal purposes.
- Document the Scene: If it’s safe to do so, take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries. Gather the names and contact info of other drivers and witnesses. These records may be key to proving your case.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: Even casual statements at the scene, like “I didn’t see you,” can be misinterpreted. Stick to factual observations and avoid assigning blame. Let investigators and insurance adjusters determine liability.
- Contact an Attorney Early: Before speaking to insurance companies, it’s wise to consult an attorney. They can help you understand what your case is worth and ensure you don’t accept less than you deserve.
