Car Accidents in Utah
Here in Utah, vehicle collisions are a frequent occurrence, particularly in urban areas like Provo. According to state traffic data, many crashes stem from failure to yield, following too closely, and distractions behind the wheel. Although emergency crews often arrive quickly, injuries can still be serious and long-lasting, especially in crashes occurring on local roads.
Understanding how liability works in Utah can help you protect yourself in the event of a crash:
- Modified Comparative Negligence: Utah law allows injured parties to recover damages as long as they are less than 50% at fault for the crash. Compensation is reduced based on the percentage of fault.
- Reporting Requirements: Accidents involving injury or significant property damage must be reported to police. A report helps document the crash for insurance and legal purposes.
- Evidence Collection: Taking photos, getting witness statements, and noting the other driver’s license plate are all helpful in preserving your side of the story.
- Time Limits: Utah has a four-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. However, acting sooner improves your chances of building a strong case.
- Insurance Communication: It’s best to avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without speaking to an attorney. They may try to minimize your payout.
