Types of Car Accident Claims We Handle

Our team of Salt Lake City car accident lawyers is prepared to handle a variety of accident cases, including:

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Utah

Many Utah car accidents result from:

  • Distracted Driving: texting and driving, using a phone, eating, or adjusting music
  • Drunk Driving (DUI): even one drink can impair driving abilities
  • Speeding: a leading cause of severe and fatal accidents
  • Exhausted Driving: especially common among commercial truck drivers

We conduct thorough investigations to determine fault and liability, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

Serious Injuries from Car Accidents

Even low-speed collisions can lead to life-altering injuries. Insurance companies may downplay these impacts, but our road traffic accident solicitors ensure your injuries are taken seriously.

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  • Whiplash

Utah's No-Fault Insurance System

Utah is a no-fault insurance state, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This provides up to $3,000 for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault.

However, if your injuries meet Utah’s “serious injury” threshold—such as permanent disability or disfigurement—or your medical bills exceed $3,000, you can pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver.

We help clients navigate these complexities, including filing lawsuits when insurance providers deny valid claims.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Salt Lake City

  • Ensure Safety: Move to a secure location.
  • Call 911: Always report the accident.
  • Document the Scene: Photos, witness contacts, insurance details.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor.
  • Consult a Lawyer: Contact an experienced Utah car accident lawyer promptly.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

We fight to secure compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses (Current & Future)
  • Lost Wages & Diminished Earning Capacity
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Property Damage
  • Rehabilitation Costs
  • Wrongful Death (in fatal accidents)

Passenger Injuries and Claims

If you were a passenger injured in a Utah car accident, you may file claims through your own PIP insurance or against the at-fault driver. Our accident claim lawyers help you navigate these sensitive situations, especially if the liable driver is someone you know.

Utah Car Accident Injury FAQ

Yes! Hiring a car injury lawyer means you don’t need to deal with the opposing insurance company, calculate your damages, or study liability law because we do all of that for you. We manage everything—from evidence collection to negotiations—on a contingency basis.

You should get a car accident lawyer as soon as possible. You want them to start on your case right away so they can collect evidence, review the facts of the crash, and contact all involved parties in order to secure maximum compensation for you.

In Utah, you can still make a recovery if you are hit by an uninsured motorist thanks to your PIP insurance. If you also purchased uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) insurance as part of your auto insurance policy, then you can use that policy to get even more coverage through a first-party claim.
 
You can also talk to our attorneys about filing an injury claim directly against the uninsured driver’s personal assets, which can be complicated, especially if they don’t have many finances to spare.
Car accident claims are handled a bit differently when a vehicle is totaled. You won’t be pursuing a repair. Instead, you’ll need to get your vehicle replaced. But first, it has to be evaluated at a fair value to its condition immediately prior to the collision.
Our attorneys can help you with the process of working with an appraiser to get a fair evaluation, rather than a lowball number that the opposing insurance company might suggest.

Even with a no-fault system like in Utah, an attorney may still be necessary. They can help you file claims promptly and make sure that you are fully compensated for your economic losses from the incident. Additionally, if your injuries rise above the serious thresholds outlined by state law, then working with an attorney will enable you to seek full compensation for both economic and non-economic losses.

We encourage you to ask our attorneys anything you want. There’s no such thing as an off-limits question about your case or our experience as car accident lawyers! But, to start, you might want to ask about how many such cases we’ve handled in the past, our victories, and any limitations there might be to your case. These topics are good ways to get more information about your chances and our firm.

A denied car accident claim is not the end of your chances to recover comfortably. It is just an obstacle that you would’ve preferred not to encounter. To begin, save a copy of any denial letter you are given. Next, our attorneys can investigate the reasoning behind it and challenge the denial if we think it was unjust. Afterward, we can attempt to settle the claim. If that is not likely, then litigation might follow.

Commonly, it is recommended that drivers get at least three repair estimates after being in a car accident. The worse the damage or the more the insurance companies fight your claim, the more important it becomes to get more estimates. You want to be able to prove that you are asking for a fair amount, so the opposing insurer has little room to negotiate down.
