Luke Udy brings 17 years of insurance experience and runs Udy and Associates, an American Family Insurance Agency that handles home, auto, boat, ATV, umbrella, landlord, apartment, HOA, and business insurance, with access to multiple national carriers, in Utah and neighboring states.

Luke explains what actually happens when Utah drivers think they have full coverage but are really sitting on the state minimums of 30-65-30. Full coverage only means comp and collision, and liability only still leaves people repairing their own vehicle or hitting limits that don’t match real injuries or damage.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage comes up constantly because people waive UM or UIM without knowing that those coverages protect them when the other driver has no insurance or almost none. Luke makes people sign off before removing it because it’s inexpensive, and it’s the only layer that shields them when the at-fault driver can’t pay.

Utah PIP is another point of confusion. Every Utah policy has at least 3,000, but raising PIP to 10,000 PIP C is only a few dollars more and pays the first medical bills even when the other driver is at fault. Luke goes into PIP exhaustion, subrogation, rental cars, and how easily people get misled when call centers tell them to open claims with the wrong company.

Boating on the weekends, pools, swing sets, home equity, kids’ friends in the car, landlord properties, and business ownership all show why minimum limits disappear fast. The theme Luke returns to is simple: people ask for the lowest, cheapest option without realizing how much protection they give up until the accident has already happened.

St George is growing fast and the roads are getting rougher. Speeding, red light runners, distraction, and following too close are causing most of the crashes police respond to. Officer Mitchell talks about what she sees every day: drivers going through intersections while looking at their phones, rushing to beat the lights, and sitting inches from another car’s bumper.

Hit-and-run accidents are happening more often. Many drivers leave the scene even though it is a crime that can lead to a suspended license and an impounded car. Parking lot cameras rarely capture the stalls, making it harder for police to track people down.

Insurance costs in Washington County keep rising due to frequent crashes. Better driving helps everyone. Utah policies include PIP benefits, but many drivers do not know they have them. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is essential when the other driver has expired insurance.

Dash cams and Tesla cameras often show the truth when no one else saw what happened.

Slowing down, leaving earlier, and paying attention could prevent most of the collisions happening now in St George and all over the world.

A distracted driver is a dangerous driver.

Chief Kyle Whitehead, Chief of Police for St. George, Utah, shares what really happens when a crash is reported and how officers handle accident scenes from the first call to the final report. 

Starting as a patrol officer in 1999 and working through every level of the department, Chief Whitehead explains what it means to serve a city that has grown from 62 officers to more than 150, and how the rapid population boom has changed the way policing looks in Southern Utah.

He walks through what happens when someone calls 911 after a crash, how officers are dispatched, and why safety always comes first before reports are written or citations are issued. He breaks down the process of documenting the scene, interviewing witnesses, issuing driver exchange forms, and determining which laws were broken. 

Chief Whitehead clarifies that police reports do not assign fault; they record facts based on what caused the crash. He explains how uninsured drivers are handled, why taking a photo of the VIN number matters, and how dash cameras protect drivers when stories change after the fact.

The biggest challenges facing St. George as it grows, including distracted driving, speeding, and heavy traffic in areas limited by the river, bluffs, and freeway. He shares why patience behind the wheel and planning matter more than ever. 

His advice is simple and powerful: leave early, slow down, and focus on driving. A few extra minutes can prevent a crash, a ticket, or worse.

For anyone driving in Southern Utah, this conversation offers clear and practical insight from the Chief of Police. You will learn what to do after a crash, why you should always call the police, and how to make sure your documentation is accurate. 

You will understand what happens behind the scenes at St. George PD, how civilian staff help manage non-emergency calls, and how officers balance enforcement and community service. This episode gives every driver the knowledge to stay safe, protect themselves, and support the officers working to keep St. George one of the safest cities in the state.

Most people proudly say they have full coverage on their car insurance. It sounds safe and complete, but full coverage does not mean what you think it means.

Full coverage usually means you meet the state minimum legal requirements. That is the bare minimum that keeps you on the road, but not the amount that keeps you financially protected. When serious accidents happen, those limits collapse fast. A single life flight can cost more than $100,000. ICU stays and surgeries can climb into the hundreds of thousands more. Families who thought they were fully covered are left with massive bills and no safety net.

Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage exist to protect you when the other driver does not have enough insurance or none at all. Too many people waive those options because an app or online signup promised a cheaper price. Then one crash changes everything.

Good coverage means knowing your numbers. Read your declarations page and understand what you are paying for. The goal is not to find the cheapest policy. The goal is to have one that actually protects you when life hits hard. Skip one subscription or one coffee, and make sure you are truly covered before the next distracted driver looks down at their phone.

It finally feels like fall in Utah. Football weather is here. The mornings are cool, the games aren’t burning hot, and October has been one of the best in years. That means football, baseball playoffs, hockey, and the NBA all kicking off. Then it turns to a serious NFL story. Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was driving a rented Lamborghini in Dallas, racing another car at 119 miles an hour, when he lost control and caused a six-vehicle crash. Several people were hurt with brain trauma and internal bleeding. Both drivers left the scene.

Rice pled guilty to two third-degree felony charges for a collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway. He was sentenced to five years of probation, 30 days in jail served on weekends, and ordered to pay restitution to the victims. Soon after, players were seen wearing shirts that said Free Four.

That is where the real debate started. Loyalty or justice. What happens when teammates defend reckless behavior that left people injured? How do you support someone without excusing what they did? The crash was not minor. It was 119 miles an hour through Dallas traffic, and people are still recovering.

Free Four might sound like a slogan, but it dismisses real victims who are living with the consequences. Leaving the scene changes everything. Racing on a highway changes everything. Real justice is about accountability, not popularity.

Leave early. Slow down. A day out to play should never end with a six-car crash and a brain injury.

TikTok is becoming the new Court TV, where creators break down real lawsuits with in-depth analysis and commentary. They read complaints, review discovery motions, and explain how cases really work. Deep dives into the Idaho Four, the Cardi B lawsuit, the Blake Lively Baldoni case, the Diddy lawsuit, and the Murdoch murders have made TikTok feel like next-level courtroom TV.

When you look at the anatomy of a lawsuit, it’s interesting to see how it works and why it works that way. It’s not just paperwork, it’s your future. Each lawsuit represents one person’s story and that case matters a thousand percent. Being informed and knowing that your attorney is focused on your case, not just any case, makes all the difference.

Pull back the curtain and see what really happens from the accident scene to the verdict or resolution. Only three percent of cases go to trial. On the eve of trial, they settle, or even during trial, they settle.

We file a complaint, exchange initial disclosures, and move into what’s called discovery. We start deposing people immediately. A deposition is just an interview under oath. It’s not like the movies. We know their evidence, and they know ours.

Experts can be expensive. Some cases go north of a hundred thousand dollars in expert costs. Lawsuits are costly and stressful. The net settlement is what matters.

If you have questions or want to know whether you have a claim, reach out. The consultations are always free.

It is tough to talk about hard topics like when floods take lives and families are left to pick up the pieces. The floods in Texas were a real loss, a real tragedy, and what happened at Camp Mystic was an unspeakable tragedy. Children were killed in the flooding along the Guadalupe River over the Fourth of July weekend, and what should have been a holiday of celebration turned into chaos and heartbreak.

The flooding caught the area completely off guard. A hundred-year flood that swept through at night when people were asleep, and warning systems failed to reach everyone in time. Some counselors risked their lives to save campers. Some went back in to pull others out and did not make it back.

Even though it feels like a year ago, it happened only months ago. Families are still waiting for answers while the news has already moved on. One wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against a resort for failure to warn and evacuate, and more cases are expected as families ask how something like this could happen.

Questions come up about whether the camp was in a known flood zone, if there should have been better evacuation plans, and if this was truly an act of God or negligence. Conversations about insurance exposure, waivers, and the difference between ordinary negligence and gross negligence show how complex these cases become when tragedy meets law.

When a disaster happens, liability and responsibility are not just legal words. They determine who pays, who answers, and whether justice is ever possible for those who lost everything.

The floods may have disappeared from the headlines, but for the people who lived through them, the story is still going.
