Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, countless Utah residents are injured in car accidents, particularly during the morning commute. High traffic volumes combined with fatigue or rushing can lead to collisions. As noted by the Utah Department of Public Safety, these accidents are especially common in urban centers like Salt Lake City, where intersection-related crashes are frequent.
Understanding what steps to take immediately after an accident can protect your health and your rights. Here’s what victims should prioritize:
- Check for Injuries and Call 911: Even in minor collisions, injuries can occur. Call 911 and wait for medical help to arrive. First responders can assess all involved parties and provide immediate care, even if symptoms aren’t obvious at first.
- Document the Scene: If you’re able, take photos of the vehicles, location, license plates, and any visible injuries. This evidence can be useful for insurance claims and legal action down the line.
- Exchange Information: Gather contact and insurance details from the other driver(s). If there are witnesses, ask for their names and phone numbers as well — their statements may help verify what happened.
- Get a Medical Evaluation: Visit a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like internal trauma or soft tissue damage, may not appear immediately but can become serious without treatment.
