Car Accidents in Utah
Utah drivers face ongoing risks when traveling through both urban and rural parts of the state. With tens of thousands of accidents reported annually, many result in serious injuries or significant property damage. These incidents can leave lasting effects, physically, emotionally, and financially.
Let’s take a closer look at how accident claims and compensation are handled in Utah:
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Utah is a no-fault insurance state, meaning that each person’s own PIP coverage helps pay for immediate medical expenses, lost wages, and other limited benefits—regardless of who caused the accident. This helps injured individuals get treated quickly, but it does not prevent them from pursuing additional claims against the at-fault driver.
- Comparative Fault Rule: Utah follows a modified comparative negligence law. This means a person may still recover damages even if they were partially responsible, as long as their fault does not exceed 50%. However, any compensation awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to them.
- Time Limits to File a Claim: Accident victims in Utah generally have up to four years to file a personal injury claim and up to three years for property damage. However, evidence fades quickly, and waiting too long can make it difficult to build a strong case. Acting quickly helps preserve your right to recovery.
- Damages You Can Recover: Compensation may include medical bills, property repair or replacement, lost income, and pain and suffering. In serious cases, long-term care costs or emotional distress may also be factored into settlement amounts.
- How Settlements Are Reached: Many cases settle out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair agreement can’t be reached, taking the case to trial may become necessary. Having a skilled attorney who understands Utah’s legal landscape can make a big difference in this process.
