Car Accidents in Utah
Commercial vehicle crashes are a growing concern throughout Utah. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, the increase in delivery services has led to a rise in van and truck-related collisions. These accidents often involve more serious injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicles. Residents are reminded to drive cautiously in residential areas and be alert to delivery vans, pedestrians, and parked vehicles.
Accidents involving commercial or delivery vehicles come with unique challenges. Here are some important considerations for victims of these types of crashes:
- Liability Can Be Complex: Determining who is responsible—driver, employer, or vehicle owner—can be tricky. Multiple parties may be involved in a claim.
- Injuries May Be More Severe: Commercial vehicles often weigh more and carry cargo, resulting in more powerful impacts and greater potential for injury.
- Corporate Insurance Providers: Companies like Amazon use large insurance firms that aggressively defend claims and often delay or dispute compensation.
- Surveillance Footage: Delivery vans may have dash cams that can provide valuable evidence. It’s important to request this footage quickly before it’s lost or overwritten.
- Work-Related Travel Rules: Drivers may be subject to time restrictions, rest requirements, or company-specific policies that affect fault and responsibility.
- Different Legal Deadlines: Claims involving commercial carriers sometimes require faster action due to state or federal filing deadlines.
