Before you worry about legal strategy, focus on actions that hold up with Utah insurers and—if needed—later with the court.
- Get checked and follow medical advice. Utah claims commonly depend on medical records that connect treatment to the accident.
- Document the scene while you can. Take photos of the roadway conditions, vehicle positions, visible injuries, and any traffic-control details.
- Write down a timeline immediately. Include where you were picked up or dropped off, what you were doing moments before impact, and what the driver said afterward.
- Avoid broad statements to insurance adjusters. Even if you’re trying to be helpful, offhand comments can be used to argue fault or downplay injuries.
If you’re overwhelmed, an intake tool can help you capture details in an organized way—but a lawyer still needs to review the facts, identify missing evidence, and handle Utah insurance communications.
