Utah Auto Insurance & Crash Law
VictimsGuide’s Utah library organizes the rules that matter after a motor-vehicle crash: compulsory liability insurance, no-fault personal injury protection, UM/UIM, tort-threshold issues, claims handling, employer and commercial coverage, government claims, comparative fault, damages and settlement.
Utah rules to identify early
- Liability insurance: Utah requires compulsory motor-vehicle liability coverage, with current statutory minimum limits that should be checked against the policy period.
- No-fault PIP: Utah requires personal injury protection benefits, creating a first-party medical and economic-loss track distinct from tort liability.
- Tort threshold: noneconomic-damages claims can depend on satisfying Utah’s statutory threshold or a qualifying injury category.
- Comparative fault: Utah uses modified comparative fault, reducing damages according to claimant fault and barring recovery at the statutory threshold.
Preserve the complete policy, PIP records, UM/UIM forms, crash report, photographs, video and electronic evidence, and investigate employer, commercial, umbrella and excess coverage before signing a release.
Current-law review: September 17, 2026. Verify current Utah statutes, Insurance Department guidance, appellate authority and the policy actually issued before relying on this educational guide.
