Car Accidents in Utah
Car crashes, including hit-and-runs, are a growing concern in Utah, where thousands of people are injured on the roads each year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, over 60,000 crashes occurred in 2022, with a disturbing number involving drivers who left the scene. These collisions can be particularly traumatic for victims, who are often left to deal with serious injuries and rising expenses without immediate accountability from the at-fault driver.
Victims of hit-and-run collisions face unique and difficult challenges. Here are several that are especially common:
- Delayed Medical Treatment: In some cases, victims may not receive help as quickly if the fleeing driver doesn’t call for aid. Immediate response is critical in trauma situations, and any delay can worsen outcomes.
- Difficulty Filing Insurance Claims: Without the other driver’s information, victims must rely on their own uninsured motorist coverage or pay out-of-pocket. This adds stress and financial strain during an already difficult time.
- Emotional Trauma and Fear: Being struck by a vehicle and left alone can be frightening and emotionally jarring. Many victims report feeling violated or anxious even long after the incident.
- Increased Legal Complexity: Hit-and-run cases often involve both civil and criminal components. Victims must navigate not only injury claims but also cooperate with ongoing investigations, which can prolong resolution.
- Out-of-Pocket Vehicle Costs: Even with insurance, deductibles and limitations on collision coverage may leave victims financially responsible for repairs while law enforcement searches for the suspect.
- Lack of Immediate Justice: Unlike collisions where parties stay on scene, hit-and-run victims often have to wait weeks or months before the other driver is caught—if they are found at all.
