Car Accidents in Utah
In cities like Provo, where residential streets intersect with busy traffic corridors, accidents can happen with little warning. Throughout Utah, more than 26,000 people were injured in traffic crashes in 2023. These collisions often result in both physical and financial challenges for the people involved.
Understanding how the claims process works can help accident victims feel more prepared:
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in Utah: Utah drivers are required to carry PIP insurance, which covers a portion of medical bills, lost wages, and household services—regardless of fault. However, PIP coverage has limits, and once exceeded, additional legal steps may be needed to recover full damages.
- Filing a Third-Party Claim: If another driver was at fault, you can pursue a third-party insurance claim through their provider. This can cover expenses beyond what your PIP insurance allows. Having an attorney helps ensure the other party’s insurance pays a fair settlement.
- When to File a Lawsuit: If negotiations stall or the offer is too low, filing a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary. This allows for full legal discovery, the potential for trial, and ultimately a resolution that reflects your true losses.
- Understanding Settlement Timelines: Some cases are resolved in a matter of months, while others can take over a year depending on complexity and injuries. Rushing to settle early may result in compensation that does not cover long-term treatment needs.
- The Role of Medical Documentation: Medical records, bills, and doctor assessments are crucial to proving your case. The more detailed and consistent your medical documentation, the stronger your compensation claim becomes.
