Here in Utah, vehicle accidents are a regular occurrence, with thousands of crashes reported each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, more than 25,000 people were injured in accidents statewide in a recent year.

To help prevent injury and protect your rights after an accident, here are several things you should always do after a crash:
- Get Medical Help: Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s critical to get checked out immediately. Some injuries may not show symptoms right away, and medical records are important for your case.
- Call the Police: A police report is essential for documenting the accident. Officers will collect witness statements, take photos, and provide an official summary of events.
- Exchange Information: Get the names, contact details, and insurance information of everyone involved. Also try to collect contact details from any witnesses at the scene.
- Document the Scene: Take clear photos of the vehicles, injuries, road conditions, and anything else relevant. The more evidence you preserve, the better protected your claim will be.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: Be polite but cautious with what you say. Even casual statements like “I’m sorry” could be used against you later.
