Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle crashes, including many that occur in Salt Lake City’s busy downtown areas. The Utah Department of Public Safety notes that urban collisions are often caused by distracted driving, sudden lane changes, or congestion. Crashes on streets like West 400 South are particularly common due to heavy vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist traffic throughout the day.
Being involved in a crash can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries. Here are several tips for what to do immediately after a crash:
- Check for Injuries: Make sure everyone involved is safe and call 911 right away if anyone is hurt. Even injuries that seem minor should be checked by a medical professional to rule out internal trauma.
- Move to Safety: If possible, move vehicles to a safe area to avoid blocking traffic or creating additional hazards. Turn on hazard lights and stay out of traffic lanes.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, location, and any visible damage. This documentation can help insurance companies and legal teams understand what happened.
- Exchange Information: Gather names, phone numbers, insurance info, and license plate numbers from all involved parties. If there are witnesses, get their contact info as well.
- Get a Police Report: Request a copy of the police report once it’s available. This official document is vital for insurance claims and any legal action that may follow.
