Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to see a steady number of motor vehicle accidents across its cities and highways. As noted by the Utah Department of Public Safety, these crashes often result in injuries that disrupt lives and place major financial burdens on victims. Causes can include everything from following too closely to failure to yield. Authorities encourage Utah drivers to stay attentive and aware, especially during afternoon and evening hours when crashes are most common.
When accidents happen, being prepared with the right information makes a difference. Here’s what drivers should do immediately following a crash:
- Stay Calm and Assess for Injuries: Make sure you and anyone else involved is safe. If someone is hurt, call 911 immediately and wait for professional help to arrive.
- Move to Safety if Possible: If your vehicle is drivable and it’s safe to do so, pull off the road to avoid causing another collision or traffic hazard.
- Exchange Contact and Insurance Info: Collect the names, addresses, phone numbers, and insurance details from all parties involved. This is crucial for filing a claim or legal action later.
- Take Photos and Notes: Document the damage, location, weather, and time of day. If there are witnesses, try to get their statements and contact info.
- Request a Police Report: Having an official record from law enforcement will support your claim and help determine who may be at fault in the incident.
