Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s freeways, especially I-15, are common sites for serious injury crashes. While many accidents happen during the day, overnight collisions pose their own risks—often tied to low visibility, impaired driving, or fatigue. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, early morning freeway crashes can be more severe due to higher travel speeds and fewer witnesses on the road.
Freeway crashes often come with complex issues that victims should be prepared for. Here are some of the most common challenges:
- Delayed Discovery of the Crash
At night, fewer vehicles are on the road, which means it may take longer for someone to report a crash. That delay can worsen injuries or slow emergency response. - High-Speed Impact Injuries: On freeways like I-15, vehicles travel at higher speeds, leading to more severe impacts. Victims may suffer from multiple trauma injuries, including broken bones, internal bleeding, or concussions.
- Increased Risk of Secondary Accidents: When vehicles crash on a highway, other drivers may not see the wreckage in time—especially in low-light conditions—leading to chain-reaction crashes.
- Complex Liability Issues: Freeway crashes may involve multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or sudden lane changes. Determining fault often requires a detailed investigation and review of traffic cameras or witness reports.
- Greater Insurance Involvement: Insurance companies are more aggressive in high-value claims. A freeway crash may involve larger damages, so victims should expect resistance when seeking full compensation.
