Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, vehicle accidents in Utah are reported daily, affecting lives in both urban centers and rural communities. These collisions often result in injuries that require ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. The physical, emotional, and financial burdens can be significant.
For many victims, dealing with property damage is one of the first headaches after a crash. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Total Loss vs. Repair: Insurers may declare a vehicle a total loss if repair costs exceed its value. While this provides a payout, it can be frustrating if your vehicle is still driveable or valued for sentimental reasons.
- Aftermarket Part Disputes: Some insurance companies use cheaper aftermarket parts in repairs, which may reduce quality. Victims have the right to dispute this and request original parts.
- Hidden Frame Damage: Structural damage may not be obvious immediately. It’s important to have a trusted mechanic do a thorough post-accident inspection.
- Rental Car Coverage Limitations: Many policies cap the amount or duration of rental coverage. You could be left without transportation if repairs take longer than expected.
- Delays in Repairs: Backordered parts or busy shops can cause extended delays. In the meantime, you may struggle to get to work or medical appointments.
If you’re facing any of these challenges after an accident, contact a Salt Lake City car accident attorney. Legal guidance can help you receive compensation not only for injuries but also for your losses related to transportation and vehicle repair or replacement.
