Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of injury and hospitalization. Cities like Riverdale, with a mix of commercial zones and residential areas, often see collisions during peak driving times. According to state transportation data, over 18,000 injury-causing crashes were reported statewide last year—many of them in locations just like River Park Drive.
If you’ve been injured in a crash, here are some of the most common questions people face when preparing to file a claim:
- Do I Have to Go to the Hospital Immediately? While not always required, immediate medical attention is strongly recommended. Even if symptoms are mild, early treatment documents the injury and links it to the accident.
- Who Determines Fault? Fault is usually assessed by police, insurance companies, and—if needed—legal teams. Utah uses comparative fault, which means more than one party can share responsibility.
- Should I Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance? Only provide basic facts. Avoid discussing your injuries or admitting fault. It’s often best to have your attorney handle communications to avoid missteps.
- What Compensation Can I Get? Victims may be entitled to damages for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Every case is unique, so the total value varies.
- How Long Do I Have to File a Claim? In Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is four years. However, waiting too long can make evidence harder to gather and weaken your case.
