Car Accidents in Utah
Utah consistently ranks among the states with a high number of reported car crashes. In 2023 alone, more than 61,000 collisions occurred across the state, and over 17,000 resulted in injuries. Every accident creates a ripple effect, impacting physical health, mental wellness, finances, and family life.
One key topic for many crash victims is understanding their legal rights. Here are some essential legal considerations following an accident:
- Determining Fault: Establishing liability is crucial. Police reports, witness statements, and traffic camera footage all play roles in identifying who was responsible for the crash.
- Comparative Negligence in Utah: Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means if you’re found to be less than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages, but your compensation could be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Filing Deadlines (Statute of Limitations): In Utah, injury victims generally have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, waiting too long can weaken your case.
- Insurance Disputes: Insurance companies may attempt to downplay your injuries or shift blame. Having representation helps level the playing field and ensures you’re treated fairly.
- Right to Compensation: Injured victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering, depending on the severity and specifics of the case.
