Car Accidents in Utah
Utah drivers face an ever-growing number of roadway incidents each year. Hit-and-run crashes have become a troubling trend across the state, especially in densely populated areas. According to recent data from the Utah Highway Safety Office, there were over 6,000 hit-and-run accidents reported in one recent year alone. These incidents leave victims vulnerable and often without crucial information to move forward with insurance or legal action.
It’s not always clear what happens next after a hit-and-run, but victims often face a number of difficult situations, such as:
- Locating the Driver: Police may rely on witness accounts, nearby surveillance footage, or vehicle debris to track down the person responsible. This can take time, and some hit-and-run cases remain unsolved. An attorney can assist in gathering additional evidence to aid the investigation.
- Using Uninsured Motorist Coverage: When a fleeing driver can’t be found, victims may still be eligible to file a claim under their own policy. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage helps pay for injuries and damage, but the process can be confusing. A lawyer can ensure the insurance company treats the claim fairly.
- Proving Injuries and Losses: Even when UM coverage applies, the burden of proving your injuries, medical expenses, and lost income still falls on the victim. Having medical documentation and legal support can make a major difference in how quickly a claim is processed.
- Handling Emotional Fallout: Survivors of hit-and-runs often experience more than just physical pain. The emotional shock and fear—especially when justice hasn’t been served—can linger for weeks or months. Many victims benefit from mental health support and a legal team that truly understands what they’re going through.
