What To Do If You Were Just in a Car Crash
If you were hit on I-215, Wasatch Boulevard, or along the Fort Union corridor, do two things:
- Get a medical evaluation today – adrenaline masks injuries for up to 72 hours
- Do not give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement, before speaking with an attorney.
Under Utah Code § 78B-2-307, you generally have four years to file, but government-vehicle claims require notice within one year. We track every deadline and handle every adjuster call while you focus on getting better.
What Evidence Matters for Cottonwood Heights Car Accident Claims?
Keep the crash report number, witness details, scene photographs, and any dashcam video. Record the exact intersection, direction of travel, lane, and time so camera footage can be located. Treatment records, wage information, and the available personal injury protection, liability, and uninsured or underinsured motorist policies also matter. Review the scope of any release before resolving a claim.
Review the Utah Insurance Department auto-claim guidance. An initial case review can identify applicable deadlines and records that need attention.

Where Crashes Can Happen in Cottonwood Heights
Cottonwood Heights is a year-round collision corridor.
SR-190 and SR-210 funnel ski-resort traffic directly into residential streets, while the I-215 beltway channels high-speed Valley commuters past the Highland Drive interchange and the Fort Union commercial strip.
Black ice in the shadow of the Wasatch Range can turn a dry road into a skid zone within a single mile a local condition that carries direct weight in causation analysis when an insurer tries to attribute fault to road conditions rather than driver negligence.

Utah’s Comparative Fault Law: What It Actually Means for Your Car Accident Case
Utah follows a modified comparative negligence standard under Utah Code § 78B-5-818. Fault is assigned as a percentage to each party, and your compensation is reduced by your share of blame. If you are 20% responsible for a collision on Highland Drive and your total damages are $100,000, the fault adjustment would reduce that calculation to $80,000 before considering insurance limits or other restrictions.
The hard threshold: at 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters know this statute and routinely attempt to push claimants past that line early in the process; even a modest shift in your assigned percentage can eliminate your recovery entirely. We build an evidentiary record from the outset to counter that tactic and ensure your share of fault is accurately established.
The Full Scope of Damages We Pursue
A settlement that only covers current bills can leave you exposed for years. We calculate every category of loss:
- Current medical costs include emergency care, imaging, surgery, and prescriptions
- Future treatment, physical therapy, specialist follow-up, and adaptive equipment
- Lost income and earning capacity wages missed now and projected career-long losses
- Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage, vehicle repair or replacement, and personal belongings
- Wrongful death funeral costs, dependent support, loss of consortium
We do not recommend accepting a settlement until we confirm it accounts for your projected future needs, not just what is on today’s invoice.
