Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of injury-causing crashes every year, and cities like Orem are no exception. With high traffic volumes, especially during evening hours, intersections and neighborhood roads become hotspots for vehicle collisions. In 2022, the Utah Department of Public Safety reported over 26,000 injury crashes statewide, many of which occurred in local neighborhoods and city centers.
After a crash, vehicle damage and insurance claims are common concerns. Here are key points to keep in mind when dealing with property damage:
- Determining Fault Affects Compensation: Utah follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning that the amount you can recover depends on your degree of fault. If another driver caused the crash, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or a replacement vehicle.
- Insurance Adjusters May Undervalue Your Claim: Insurance companies often attempt to settle quickly and for less than the full cost of repairs. It’s important to get a professional repair estimate and avoid accepting the first offer if it doesn’t fully cover your losses.
- Diminished Value Can Be a Factor: Even after a car is repaired, its resale value may decrease simply because it was involved in a crash. Some drivers may be able to file a diminished value claim depending on the severity of damage and their vehicle’s history.
- Rental and Transportation Costs Add Up: While waiting for your car to be repaired or replaced, rental car fees or alternative transportation expenses can quickly become a financial burden. These costs should be tracked and potentially included in your insurance claim.
- Total Loss Doesn’t Always Mean Fair Payout: When a vehicle is deemed a total loss, insurers may base payout on market value rather than what the vehicle is worth to you. A car with custom parts or recent maintenance may deserve a higher valuation than offered.
