Car Accidents in Utah
In 2022, over 61,000 crashes were reported in Utah, with more than 26,000 of them resulting in injury. Communities like Weber County experience collisions not just on highways, but also on residential and rural roads where speed and visibility can still be dangerous. After an accident, understanding how to handle vehicle repair and transportation concerns is key to managing the recovery process.
Here’s what many crash victims face when dealing with vehicle damage:
- Assessing Vehicle Damage Properly: After a crash, it’s important to get a reliable estimate for vehicle repairs. Insurers may send you to a preferred shop, but you’re entitled to seek an independent estimate if you feel the offer is too low.
- When Repairs Aren’t Worth It: If repair costs exceed the vehicle’s value, insurers may declare it a total loss. Victims should understand that “totaled” doesn’t always mean undrivable—it means repairs cost more than what the vehicle is worth.
- Replacement Car Costs: Many victims need a rental vehicle during repairs or while searching for a new car. These rental costs can add up quickly and are sometimes only partially covered by insurance, depending on your policy.
- Delays in Getting Repairs Done: After a crash, you may wait days or even weeks for repair shops to begin work due to parts availability or scheduling. During that time, victims often face transportation challenges and additional out-of-pocket costs.
- Fighting for Full Compensation: Insurance companies sometimes offer settlements that don’t reflect the true cost of replacement vehicles—especially if your car had custom work or recent upgrades. Documenting these factors can help in negotiations.
If you were involved in a crash that left you hurt or without transportation, reach out to a Weber County car accident attorney. An experienced legal advocate can help ensure you get compensated for both injuries and vehicle-related losses. Legal support is especially important when dealing with complex insurance issues or unfair settlement offers.
