Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, crashes continue to affect thousands of drivers annually. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, roads in suburban and residential areas like West Haven see frequent accidents due to speeding, distractions, and failure to yield. When collisions happen on routes like Hinckley Drive, delays and injuries often follow. Staying alert and following speed limits can help reduce your risk.
If you’re involved in a crash, knowing what types of insurance coverage may help is vital. Here are some key coverages Utah drivers should understand:
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): PIP coverage pays for medical bills, lost wages, and other immediate expenses, no matter who caused the crash. Utah law requires this on every policy.
- Bodily Injury Liability: This covers the medical expenses of others when you’re at fault. It also protects you from lawsuits up to the policy’s limits.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: If you’re hit by a driver without adequate insurance, this coverage steps in to cover your expenses.
- Collision Coverage: This helps pay for the repair or replacement of your vehicle after a crash, regardless of fault.
- Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay): Similar to PIP but optional in Utah, MedPay can cover additional medical expenses for you or your passengers.
