Utah has alarming accident statistics. In 2023, there were nearly sixty-five thousand crashes, twenty-six thousand injuries, and two hundred seventy-nine lives lost. That equals one crash every 8.8 minutes, an injury every twenty minutes, and a death every thirty-one hours. A recent wrong-way crash with a ninety-year-old driver raises tough questions about age restrictions and driver testing.

The hidden cost of accidents often comes when insurance companies deny or minimize claims. If they cannot dispute liability, they argue that the injuries came from other causes. We have had to file lawsuits just to reach insurance policies, and rates go up because of the crash itself, not the lawsuit.

Some lawyers acknowledge harm and resolve cases fairly, leading to seven-figure settlements. Others force a trial even after proof. Adjusters play doctor from behind a computer while real people deal with pain, stress, lost sleep, and strain on families.

Most cases still settle, but some go to trial. Verdicts can be larger or smaller, and the risk always falls on the injured. Defense wins still cost millions. The best protection is getting an experienced injury lawyer from the start to make sure your story is heard.

Be safe, respectful, and slow down on the roads.
