Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, thousands of individuals are affected by car accidents. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, driver distraction, excessive speed, and impaired driving remain major contributors to roadway injuries. While Utah continues to promote traffic safety campaigns, accidents still disrupt lives on a daily basis across the state.
For those injured in a crash, dealing with medical care is just one part of the recovery. Here’s a breakdown of legal concerns victims should understand:
- Statute of Limitations: Utah allows up to four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. However, starting early helps preserve evidence and avoids complications that can arise over time.
- Determining Fault: Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you may not recover damages. This makes proper documentation and legal representation crucial.
- Claiming Non-Economic Damages: Beyond medical bills and lost income, victims can also pursue damages for pain, suffering, and emotional distress. These are harder to quantify, but with legal support, you can build a fair case.
- Dealing with Insurance Adjusters: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. It’s important to avoid signing anything or making detailed statements without legal advice. An attorney can communicate on your behalf to protect your interests.
