Car accidents can leave victims with life-changing injuries, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies working overtime to minimize what they pay. At Hepworth Legal, our Utah car accident attorneys fight for the full compensation you deserve — medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care costs. We take on the insurance companies so you don't have to.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Utah
Document everything at the scene — photos of vehicles, injuries, road conditions, and any witness information. File a police report and seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel okay. Insurance adjusters move quickly to minimize claims; having an attorney in your corner from the beginning levels the playing field.
Utah's No-Fault Insurance System
Utah is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays first, regardless of who caused the accident. However, when injuries meet a certain threshold — serious injuries, permanent impairment, or medical expenses over $3,000 — you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.
Calculating Your Damages
A full damages calculation includes: all past and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. We work with medical experts and economic analysts to ensure your claim reflects the true cost of your injury.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Utah?
Utah's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally four years from the date of the accident. However, claims against government entities have much shorter deadlines — sometimes as little as one year. Do not wait to consult an attorney.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Utah follows comparative fault rules, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages. We investigate thoroughly to establish the other party's fault and minimize any attribution of fault to you.
