Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to face high numbers of motor vehicle crashes each year. Based on information from the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of people are injured annually on roadways across the state. These accidents often lead to physical harm, emotional stress, and significant financial pressure for those involved.
After a crash, many people are left unsure of what to expect. Here are some important things to understand about how crashes impact insurance and claims:
- Determining Fault Matters: Utah uses a modified comparative fault system. This means if you’re found to be 50% or more responsible for a crash, you may not recover damages. Proving the other driver’s fault is essential to protect your right to compensation.
- No-Fault Insurance Basics: Utah is a no-fault insurance state. This means your own insurance typically pays for your medical costs up to a certain limit, regardless of who caused the accident. However, serious injuries can allow victims to step outside of the no-fault system and pursue a claim.
- Property Damage Disputes: Vehicle repair or replacement costs often become points of contention between drivers and insurance companies. Documentation, such as repair estimates and photos, can help support your case.
- Coverage Gaps: Many Utah drivers carry only the minimum required insurance. If the at-fault party has little or no coverage, you may need to file a claim under your uninsured or underinsured motorist policy to recover damages.
- Working with Insurers: Insurance adjusters may seem helpful, but their priority is often saving money for their company. Having an attorney handle communication can reduce stress and ensure your best interests are protected.
