Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of vehicle accidents occur in Utah every year, and hit-and-run crashes can be some of the most stressful for victims. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, drivers are legally required to remain at the scene and provide assistance. When they fail to do so, victims are often left facing medical bills and vehicle repairs on their own. Knowing what to do if you’re involved in a hit-and-run is important for protecting yourself.
Understanding your options can help:
- Report the Incident Immediately: Always call 911 right away after a hit-and-run. Give officers any details you remember, including the other vehicle’s make, model, color, or license plate numbers if possible.
- Gather Evidence: Take photos of the damage, skid marks, and the surrounding area. Look for surveillance cameras nearby that may have captured the fleeing vehicle.
- Talk to Witnesses: Witnesses can provide valuable statements that may help identify the suspect. Be sure to collect their contact information for follow-up.
- Check Your Insurance Coverage: Many Utah drivers carry uninsured motorist coverage, which can help cover medical expenses and property damage when the at-fault driver cannot be located.
- Keep Medical Records: Maintain copies of all medical evaluations, bills, and treatments related to your injuries. These documents are crucial for proving your losses.
