Car Accidents in Utah
Utah roads see thousands of collisions each year, and morning commutes often come with higher risks due to increased traffic and driver fatigue. The Utah Department of Public Safety reports that distracted driving and speeding are leading causes of these crashes. In 2023, Utah saw more than 61,000 reported motor vehicle accidents. These incidents affected tens of thousands of residents, highlighting the importance of driving cautiously and being aware of your surroundings.
Understanding what to do after an accident helps protect your health and your legal rights. Here’s what every driver should consider:
- Report the Accident Immediately: Calling 911 ensures help arrives fast and creates an official record of the incident. This documentation becomes critical if injuries appear later or if the other driver’s insurance company challenges the claim. It also helps law enforcement investigate the crash thoroughly.
- Seek Medical Attention, Even If You Feel Fine: Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Adrenaline can mask pain, and injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may take hours or days to develop. A doctor’s assessment also creates a medical record linking your injuries directly to the accident.
- Take Photos and Gather Information: If it’s safe, take pictures of the vehicles, the road, and any injuries. Get contact and insurance information from other drivers and names of any witnesses. This evidence can make a major difference when filing a claim or legal case.
- Avoid Admitting Fault at the Scene: Even a polite apology could be used against you later. Let investigators determine fault based on the facts. Share only necessary details with the police and your insurance company.
- Follow Up With Legal Advice: Some injuries lead to long-term medical costs or missed work. Consulting an attorney can help you understand your options and make sure no part of your claim is overlooked or undervalued.
