Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, vehicle crashes lead to thousands of injuries, with many occurring in residential and suburban areas. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving and failure to yield are common causes of suburban roadway crashes. These incidents can disrupt lives, limit mobility, and lead to long-term health and financial consequences. It’s essential for victims to know their rights after an accident.
Here are several key aspects of how the legal process works after a crash:
- Statute of Limitations: Utah law places a strict time limit on filing personal injury claims—usually four years from the date of the crash. Waiting too long can eliminate your ability to seek compensation. Consulting an attorney early ensures deadlines are met and claims are preserved.
- Filing a Claim vs. Filing a Lawsuit: A personal injury claim is often handled through insurance first. If a fair settlement isn’t reached, a lawsuit may follow. Understanding the differences helps victims choose the right path and prepare for each phase.
- Determining Fault and Liability: Utah uses a comparative negligence model, which means more than one driver can share blame. If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still collect compensation. Accurate evidence collection is vital to prove who was responsible.
- Dealing With Uninsured Drivers: If the other party lacks insurance, you may need to rely on your own uninsured motorist coverage. A lawyer can help you navigate this and ensure your insurer honors its policy.
- Potential Compensation Types: Victims may be eligible for reimbursement of medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In cases involving long-term care, compensation can also include future medical costs and reduced earning potential.
