Car Accidents in Utah
High-speed roads like U.S. Highway 6 are especially prone to serious collisions. In 2022, Utah recorded more than 26,000 injury-causing crashes, many of which occurred on rural highways with limited visibility and high-speed limits. These areas often lack center dividers, making head-on or side-swipe collisions more likely.
After a crash, it’s helpful to understand how the legal process works for injured victims pursuing compensation:
- What Compensation Can Cover: A personal injury claim may cover more than just medical bills. Victims may be able to seek payment for lost wages, emotional distress, vehicle damage, future care needs, and reduced earning capacity if they can’t return to work.
- Pain and Suffering Is a Valid Claim: Courts and insurance companies recognize that injuries come with mental and emotional burdens. Compensation can be awarded for sleep disruption, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment in daily life.
- Future Medical Expenses Should Be Considered: Serious injuries often require long-term treatment such as surgeries, therapy, or ongoing medications. A lawyer can help calculate these anticipated costs and include them in a settlement demand.
- Wrongful Death Claims May Apply in Fatal Crashes: If someone loses their life due to a crash, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. This includes funeral costs, loss of companionship, and lost income from the deceased.
