Car Accidents in Utah
As Utah cities like St. George continue to grow, so does the number of collisions reported on major roads and intersections. In 2023, Utah saw over 60,000 motor vehicle crashes, many of which occurred in urban areas. South Main Street is a well-traveled corridor, and with increased traffic volume, the risk of accidents rises—particularly during afternoon hours when school and workday traffic peak.
One key area to understand after a crash is how property damage and repairs affect your overall recovery. Here’s what to consider:
- Vehicle Repair Costs: Even moderate accidents can result in thousands of dollars in damage. Whether it’s a broken bumper, bent frame, or shattered windshield, getting your car back to pre-accident condition often takes time—and money. Insurance adjusters may undervalue repairs or push for used parts.
- Total Loss Disputes: If the repair costs exceed a certain threshold, your vehicle may be declared a total loss. However, the valuation may not reflect what it would cost you to replace the car. Legal support can help you negotiate a fair settlement or challenge the insurer’s decision.
- Rental Vehicle Coverage: You may be entitled to a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired, but not all policies offer the same level of coverage. An attorney can help ensure this cost is reimbursed properly, especially if the accident wasn’t your fault.
- Diminished Value Claims: Even after repairs, your car may be worth less than it was before the crash. A diminished value claim allows you to recover that lost value if your car’s resale potential has dropped because of the accident history.
- Personal Property Inside the Vehicle: Items damaged during the crash—such as electronics, glasses, or child car seats—can often be claimed separately. Be sure to photograph and document everything affected, not just the vehicle itself.
