Car Accidents in Utah
Auto crashes continue to impact residents across Utah, including in areas like Riverdale. With increasing vehicle traffic, especially during weekends, collisions are becoming more common. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports thousands of injury-related crashes statewide every year.
It’s important to understand what steps to take immediately following a car accident. Here’s what every Utah driver should know:
- Check for Injuries: Always assess yourself and others involved. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately—even if injuries seem minor.
- Call the Police: Having an official report helps document what happened and is essential for any future insurance or legal claim.
- Take Photos: Capture images of vehicle damage, license plates, road conditions, and injuries. This visual evidence can help establish fault and damages.
- Exchange Information: Collect names, phone numbers, insurance details, and driver’s license numbers from everyone involved in the crash.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: Even simple apologies can be used against you later. Stick to facts when speaking with others at the scene.
- Seek Medical Care: Injuries like whiplash or head trauma may not show symptoms right away. Visiting a doctor ensures your well-being and supports any injury claim.
