Car Accidents in Utah
Multi-vehicle crashes are a common hazard on busy roads throughout Utah. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving, following too closely, and sudden lane changes often contribute to pile-ups like this one. Many victims face mounting medical expenses, car repairs, and weeks or months of recovery time. Understanding what to do after a crash can help protect your health and your rights.
If you’re involved in a multi-car collision, keep these tips in mind:
- Check for Injuries First: Ensure you and others are safe. Call 911 immediately for medical assistance and police response.
- Stay at the Scene: Never leave until officers tell you it’s okay. A police report is crucial for insurance claims and legal protection.
- Document Everything: Take photos of the crash site, vehicles, road conditions, and visible injuries. This evidence helps clarify who is at fault.
- Get Witness Statements: Ask for contact details from anyone who saw what happened. Witness accounts can be valuable in complicated cases.
