UTV Accidents: Get the Help You Deserve After a Crash

You can still recover compensation. If the accident made a pre-existing condition worse — like back pain, neck problems, or anxiety — you may be entitled to damages for the aggravation.

The law recognizes that an at-fault party is responsible for making your condition worse, even if you had prior health issues.

It depends on your injuries and how cooperative the insurance company is.

• Simple cases may resolve in a few months.

• Complex ones (involving serious injuries, multiple vehicles, or semi-trucks) can take longer.
  We never rush a case just to settle — we take the time needed to ensure you receive the full value of your claim. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated and answer every question you have.

Don’t worry — we help you get the care you need without paying upfront.

We work with medical providers, physical therapists, and psychological specialists across Utah who accept letters of protection (LOPs) — meaning you receive treatment now and pay once your case settles.

This includes physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, pain management, and mental health therapy for anxiety or trauma.

Your safety comes first. Check for injuries and call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt. If possible, move to a safe area and exchange information with the other driver. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Even if you feel okay, get medical care right away — many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately.

Before speaking to any insurance adjusters, contact our office so we can help protect your rights and guide you through the process from day one.

Yes. Insurance companies often try to pay the lowest amount possible or deny valid claims. A lawyer ensures you get fair treatment and full compensation for your injuries, medical care, and property damage. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with doctors, and fight for you — so you can focus on healing while we handle everything else.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our payment comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict — not from your pocket. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This allows every injured person to get quality legal representation regardless of income or immigration status.

You still have options. Utah law allows you to file a claim through your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) if you have it. Even in hit-and-run cases, we can help investigate, gather surveillance footage, or work with authorities to identify the at-fault driver.

Our team ensures that you explore every available path for financial recovery.

Utah follows the comparative negligence rule, which means you can still receive compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for a $100,000 claim, you can still receive $80,000.

Our attorneys work hard to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your payout.

The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, depends on the case:

• Personal Injury: 4 years from the date of the accident.

• Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of passing.

• Property Damage: 3 years.
  Waiting too long can weaken your case — evidence fades, witnesses move, and insurance deadlines expire. It’s best to start as soon as possible so we can preserve all documentation and evidence.

You may be entitled to several types of damages, including:

• Medical expenses (current and future treatment, therapy, medication)

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

• Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress and psychological trauma

• Loss of enjoyment of life
  Every case is unique, so we calculate your full damages before negotiating with insurance companies to ensure you receive what you truly deserve.
