Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees tens of thousands of crashes each year, and many of these happen in busy areas like Springville. The state consistently reports thousands of injury-causing collisions, with many incidents occurring during late afternoon and evening hours when traffic is heavy and visibility can be inconsistent. In these moments, even minor misjudgments can result in serious consequences for those involved.
One important but often overlooked topic is vehicle damage. Here’s why it matters after a crash:
- Insurance Disputes Over Total Loss: Insurance companies may claim your vehicle is totaled, even when it appears repairable. Understanding how vehicle value is calculated and obtaining an independent appraisal can help ensure you aren’t shortchanged in the settlement.
- Hidden Structural Damage: Not all damage is visible. What seems like a cosmetic issue may mask more serious problems with the frame, steering, or suspension. Driving a structurally compromised vehicle can put you and your passengers at risk.
- Rental Car Gaps: If your car is in the shop or totaled, insurance may only cover a rental for a limited time. If delays in processing or repair arise, you could be left without a vehicle and footing the bill for additional rental days.
- Diminished Value: Even after repairs, your car’s resale value may drop significantly due to its accident history. In some cases, you may be eligible to file a diminished value claim to recover this financial loss.
- Out-of-Pocket Repair Costs: Insurance may not cover all repair expenses. Deductibles, aftermarket parts, and exclusions for certain types of damage can leave you with a hefty bill. Understanding your policy is key to avoiding unexpected costs.
