Understanding Utah Car Accident Laws
Navigating Utah’s car accident laws can be complex. Here’s a brief overview to help you understand your rights:
- No-Fault Insurance: Utah follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning each party’s insurance covers their own medical expenses regardless of fault. However, in severe cases, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault driver.
- Statutes of Limitations: Personal injury claims must be filed within four years of the accident, while property damage claims have a three-year deadline.
- Comparative Fault: Utah’s modified comparative fault rule allows financial recovery only if you were less at fault than the opposing party.
Our mission is to ensure you feel cared for and fought for, every step of the way.
