Car Accidents in Utah
Car crashes in Utah continue to be a major concern, especially in urban hubs like Salt Lake City. With more than 60,000 accidents reported each year statewide, these incidents often result in injuries requiring hospitalization and ongoing care. High-traffic areas and nighttime driving contribute to increased risk. Many drivers don’t realize how complex the aftermath of an accident can be—especially when injuries are involved.
One area that’s particularly difficult after a crash is handling vehicle damage and repairs. Here’s what victims should keep in mind:
- Assessing Damage Beyond the Surface: Even if a vehicle appears mostly intact, internal damage can go unnoticed without a thorough inspection. Electrical systems, axles, and alignment are common hidden issues that arise after impact. Getting a full diagnostic check is essential.
- Getting Fair Value for Totaled Vehicles: When an insurer declares your vehicle a total loss, they may offer less than what it’s truly worth. Victims often accept low valuations without realizing they can dispute them. An attorney or third-party appraisal can help you push back for a better settlement.
- Dealing with Repair Shops and Timelines: Many drivers are referred to specific repair shops by insurers, but you’re not obligated to use them. Make sure you choose a shop that works in your interest and gives you a realistic repair timeline—not just one that benefits the insurance company.
- Rental Car Coverage Confusion: After a crash, having a rental car may be necessary, especially if your vehicle is in the shop. However, rental coverage can vary significantly between policies. It’s important to understand what’s included and when it ends to avoid unexpected charges.
- Diminished Vehicle Value: Even after repairs, a previously wrecked car may lose resale value. You may be entitled to compensation for this “diminished value,” but insurance companies often won’t offer it unless requested. An attorney can assist in pursuing this additional loss.
