Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motor vehicle crashes are a daily occurrence across the state, with many resulting in injuries. In suburban areas like Sandy, crashes at intersections and along busy commuter routes are particularly common. Many involve distracted or impatient drivers, especially during afternoon hours when traffic volume peaks.
In these cases, one area many drivers are unprepared for is dealing with vehicle damage recovery. Here’s what you should know:
- Collision Insurance Coverage: This part of your auto policy covers repairs or replacement for your car, regardless of who is at fault. It often includes a deductible, but can speed up vehicle restoration.
- Rental Car Assistance: If your vehicle is in the shop, rental reimbursement coverage may help you stay mobile. Always confirm your policy includes this benefit before you need it.
- Vehicle Value Disputes: Insurers may declare a car “totaled” if repairs cost more than its current market value. You have the right to contest their valuation with your own appraisals or quotes.
- Out-of-Pocket Costs: Even with insurance, deductibles, towing, and storage fees may apply. Keeping receipts helps you seek reimbursement later, especially if the other driver was at fault.
- Diminished Value Claims: Even after repair, your vehicle may lose resale value. Some policies or claims may allow you to recover for that loss, especially in newer vehicles.
If you were injured in this crash, you should speak with a Sandy car accident attorney right away. Legal guidance can help you manage both the injury claim and any vehicle-related issues. Timing matters—starting early can ensure you’re not stuck with avoidable expenses or denied coverage.
