Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s streets and highways are no strangers to auto accidents. In cities like Payson, where traffic mixes with both local and through traffic, collisions occur with regularity. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports thousands of injury-causing crashes each year, many happening at intersections and on city roads.
Today’s story highlights an important topic: what you should do in the immediate aftermath of a crash:
- Stay at the Scene: Leaving the site of a crash before speaking to law enforcement can lead to legal trouble, especially if injuries are involved. Even minor collisions require all drivers to exchange information and wait for authorities when someone is hurt.
- Check for Injuries: Before assessing damage or blaming others, check on everyone involved. If anyone is injured, call 911 and avoid moving them unless necessary for safety. Timely medical attention is crucial for serious injuries.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, roadway, and any visible injuries. This evidence may be useful in insurance negotiations or legal proceedings. It also helps to note any traffic signs, skid marks, or obstructions that might have contributed to the crash.
- Exchange Information: Collect names, phone numbers, insurance policy details, license plate numbers, and driver’s license information from everyone involved. Also ask for witness contact information, if available.
- Speak to an Attorney Before Insurance: You are not required to provide a detailed statement to insurance companies immediately. Consult with a lawyer first, especially if injuries are involved, to ensure you’re not pressured into an unfair settlement.
