Salt Lake City Car Accident Overview

Salt Lake City and the broader Salt Lake County area account for roughly 40% of all vehicle crashes reported in Utah annually, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. The I-15 corridor through downtown, the I-80/I-215 interchange, and State Street are among the highest-crash surfaces in the state.

High-crash locations in Salt Lake City include:

• I-15 through downtown Salt Lake City (300 South to 600 North)
• I-80 / I-215 interchange (west side)
• State Street (US-89) from 400 South through Sugar House
• Redwood Road (SR-68) pedestrian and vehicle intersections
• 2100 South and 700 East through Sugar House

Utah No-Fault Insurance and What It Means for Salt Lake City Victims

Utah requires all drivers to carry minimum Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of $3,000. After a crash, your PIP pays first regardless of fault. Once your PIP is exhausted, the at-fault driver's liability coverage is the next source of recovery. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM policy applies.

Comparative fault under Utah Code Section 78B-5-818: if you bear 50% or more of the fault, you cannot recover. Below 50%, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Salt Lake City crash investigations often involve disputed fault -- documenting the scene immediately is critical.

Statute of Limitations

Four years from the date of the crash for personal injury (Utah Code Section 78B-2-307). Two years for wrongful death (Utah Code Section 78B-2-304). Claims against government entities (SLCPD vehicles, TRAX, UTA buses) carry a one-year deadline with a pre-suit notice requirement.
