Why You Need a Utah Accident Lawyer After a Car Crash
Utah's complex insurance laws make it essential to have experienced legal representation after a car accident. Utah follows a "no-fault" insurance system with specific requirements for personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, but serious injuries often exceed PIP limits, requiring you to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver.
Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize payouts. They use sophisticated tactics to devalue claims, including questioning the severity of injuries, disputing medical treatment necessity, and rushing victims into quick settlements before the full extent of damages is known.
Utah's statute of limitations gives you only four years to file a personal injury lawsuit, but critical evidence can disappear quickly. An experienced Utah accident lawyer will immediately begin preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building your case while you focus on recovery.
Medical expenses in Utah are substantial. The average emergency room visit costs over $2,000, while serious injuries requiring surgery can result in bills exceeding $100,000. Without proper legal representation, you may be left paying these costs out of pocket.
Utah Accident Statistics (2023):
- • Over 62,000 car accidents occurred in Utah
- • 276 fatalities from motor vehicle crashes
- • 18,500+ injuries requiring medical attention
- • Average settlement: $89,000 with attorney vs $15,000 without

Utah Car Accident Law Expertise
Our referred Utah accident lawyers have in-depth knowledge of Utah's specific traffic laws, insurance regulations, and court procedures that directly impact your case outcome.
Utah No-Fault Insurance System
Utah requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance with minimum coverage of $3,000. However, serious accidents often result in damages far exceeding this amount. Our attorneys know exactly when and how to step outside Utah's no-fault system to pursue additional compensation.
Utah Code 31A-22-307 allows injury victims to pursue claims against at-fault drivers when injuries meet the "serious injury threshold," including:
- • Death or permanent disability
- • Permanent disfigurement
- • Medical expenses exceeding $3,000
- • Loss of bodily function
Utah Comparative Fault Rule
Utah follows a "modified comparative fault" system under Utah Code 78B-5-818. This means you can still recover compensation even if you're partially at fault for the accident, as long as your fault is less than 50%.
Insurance companies often try to assign excessive fault to accident victims to reduce payouts. Our experienced Utah accident lawyers know how to counter these tactics and protect your right to fair compensation.
Example:
If you're found 20% at fault for an accident with $100,000 in damages, you can still recover $80,000 (100% - 20% = 80% of total damages).

Frequently Asked Questions About Utah Accident Lawyers
How much does a Utah accident lawyer cost?
Our referred Utah accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. They only get paid if they successfully recover compensation for you, typically taking 33-40% of the settlement or court award. This ensures your lawyer is motivated to get you the maximum possible compensation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Utah?
Utah's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is four years from the date of the accident. However, it's crucial to contact a lawyer immediately, as evidence can disappear quickly and insurance companies may try to settle for less than you deserve if you wait too long.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
Utah law requires all drivers to carry liability insurance, but approximately 15% of Utah drivers are uninsured. If you're hit by an uninsured driver, you can file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys help maximize these claims and explore other sources of compensation.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Never accept the first settlement offer without consulting a Utah accident lawyer. Insurance companies typically offer far less than your claim is worth. Studies show that accident victims who hire attorneys receive settlements that are, on average, 3.5 times larger than those who handle claims themselves.
