Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s major highways see high volumes of traffic every day, particularly on I-15, one of the state’s busiest routes. In 2023, the Utah Department of Public Safety reported tens of thousands of crashes, many of them occurring on interstates and rural highways. Accidents like the one reported in Utah County often lead to serious injuries and require emergency care and recovery support.
Here’s some helpful information about what to expect after a car crash:
- Dealing with Insurance Adjusters: Insurance companies may reach out quickly after an accident. It’s important to remember that their goal is to minimize the payout. Avoid giving recorded statements without legal guidance, and do not accept early settlement offers without understanding your rights.
- Understanding Comparative Fault in Utah: Utah follows a comparative fault rule, which means more than one party can share responsibility for a crash. If you are found to be partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced accordingly. This is one of the many reasons legal representation can help ensure your side of the story is properly presented.
- Filing a Claim Within the Statute of Limitations: In Utah, you generally have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, waiting too long can result in the loss of valuable evidence and weaken your claim. It’s best to begin the process as soon as possible.
- What if the Other Driver is Uninsured?: If the other driver does not have insurance, your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Understanding the details of your policy can help you access available resources for medical bills and repairs.
- Keeping Track of All Accident-Related Costs: Accurate records of medical bills, vehicle damage, lost wages, and other expenses are crucial when pursuing compensation. Documenting everything will help your attorney calculate a fair settlement amount.
