Why This Matters
Post-accident, insurance can feel like another crash. They might undervalue or deny your claim—but you can fight back. Here’s how to handle the process in Utah and get what you deserve.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Gather Evidence
Photos, damage shots, and witness statements are key.
- Local Tip: SLC’s 400 South traffic cams might have footage—ask police.
- Notify Their Insurance
Utah’s fault system means their insurer pays. Contact them, but avoid recorded statements without a lawyer.
- Expect: An adjuster will review your claim.
- Submit Your Claim
Send all evidence—bills, estimates, wage losses. Be thorough.
- Pro Tip: Keep copies.
- Negotiate
Don’t take the first low offer—wait until injuries are clear.
- Example: An SLC driver turned $5,000 into $30,000 with legal help.
- Use Your Insurance
Uninsured driver or hit-and-run? Your coverage can help.
- Fallback: Sue directly under Utah law.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Settling Early: Future costs might be missed.
- Skipping Details: Include all losses—therapy too.
- Solo Battle: Insurers have pros—you need one too.
