Car Accidents in Utah
Here in Utah, crashes are an unfortunate reality on our roads. Data shows that over 17,000 injury-related crashes occurred statewide in a single year. Many of these take place on residential roads and busy intersections, often during evening hours. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving, failure to yield, and speeding remain leading causes. These risks are present no matter the time of day, and especially during peak commute hours when more drivers are on the road. Staying alert and following posted traffic rules are essential for everyone’s safety.
When collisions happen, they often bring questions about your next steps. Here’s what you should know about insurance in Utah:
- No-Fault Insurance Rules: Utah is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance covers medical bills up to a certain limit—regardless of who caused the accident. This ensures faster access to treatment but can create confusion about what damages are still eligible for legal claims.
- Minimum PIP Coverage: Utah drivers are required to carry personal injury protection (PIP), which typically covers $3,000 in medical expenses. Once this is exhausted, you may be able to pursue a liability claim against the at-fault driver for additional compensation.
- Out-of-Pocket Limits: After an accident, unexpected costs can stack up—especially if injuries prevent you from working. Understanding your policy’s deductible and what is not covered under PIP helps avoid financial strain.
- Compensation for Pain and Suffering: If your injuries meet a certain threshold (such as permanent disability or medical expenses exceeding $3,000), you may pursue damages for pain and suffering in addition to financial losses.
For those injured in car accidents, calling a Roy car accident attorney is a crucial step toward protecting your rights. The legal process can move quickly, and evidence is easier to collect soon after the crash. Insurance companies may try to reduce your claim or shift blame, which is why having representation matters. The earlier we get involved, the better positioned we are to help build a strong case.
