Car Accidents in Utah
Here in Utah, pedestrian-involved crashes continue to be a serious concern for residents and officials alike. According to recent state data, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed on Utah’s roadways each year. Drivers failing to yield, speeding, or simply not paying attention can lead to life-altering injuries for people on foot. It’s a shared responsibility — both drivers and pedestrians must stay alert and obey traffic signals to prevent these tragic events.
Knowing what to do after being involved in or witnessing a pedestrian accident can help protect your health and your rights:
- Call 911 Immediately: If you’re injured or see someone else get hit, dial 911 right away. Quick medical attention can be the difference between minor and severe injuries.
- Gather Information: If possible, get the driver’s contact and insurance details, as well as any witness statements. This information is essential if you need to file a claim or a lawsuit later.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the location, vehicle, traffic signals, and any injuries. These images can serve as powerful evidence when proving fault.
- Seek Follow-Up Medical Care: Some injuries, like internal trauma or concussions, may not be obvious at first. Follow up with your doctor and keep all records to support your recovery and any legal claims.
These steps can provide peace of mind and help you secure the compensation you may need to heal.
