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:
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.
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.
