Murray Car Accident Statistics

Murray sits along State Street (US-89) and the I-15 corridor -- two of the highest-crash surfaces in Salt Lake County. UDOT data consistently ranks the State Street corridor from 4500 South to 9000 South among the top crash locations in the county. Murray's position between the I-15 on-ramps and the commercial density of State Street makes it one of the most common crash zones in the Salt Lake Valley.

• State Street (US-89) at 4500 South, 5400 South, and 6200 South intersections
• 900 East / 4500 South corridor

Utah Car Accident Law -- What Murray Residents Need to Know

Utah operates under a modified no-fault system. Every driver must carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $3,000. After a crash, your own PIP pays your initial medical bills regardless of who was at fault. Once PIP is exhausted, you may pursue the at-fault driver's liability insurance.

Utah Code Section 78B-5-818 governs comparative fault. If you are found to be 50% or more at fault for the crash, you cannot recover damages. If you are less than 50% at fault, your recovery is reduced proportionally.

The statute of limitations for a car accident injury claim in Utah is four years from the date of the crash (Utah Code Section 78B-2-307). Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Murray

1. Call 911. A police report creates the official record of the crash.
2. Photograph the scene, all vehicles, license plates, and any visible injuries.
3. Collect the names, phone numbers, and insurance information of all drivers involved.
4. Get names and contact information for witnesses.
5. See a doctor the same day, even if you feel fine. Delayed-onset injuries (whiplash, concussion, soft tissue damage) are common and documented medical records protect your claim.
6. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company without consulting an attorney first.
