Kearns, UT (May 8, 2026) – Two adult women suffered serious injuries after a four-wheeler crash near 5600 Northwest Avenue in Kearns on Friday, May 8. Both occupants were ejected from the vehicle during the accident, and emergency units transported them by ground to a hospital where they remain in very serious condition.
Unified Police Department said investigators from a major crash reconstruction team responded to the scene to examine the circumstances of the collision. Authorities continue to investigate the incident.
We extend our sincere hopes for recovery to both women as they receive care during this difficult time.
Can Passengers Seek Compensation After an Injury Crash in Utah?
Yes — passengers injured in a crash in Utah generally have the right to seek compensation for their injuries, regardless of who caused the accident. A passenger typically bears no fault for a collision, which often puts them in a strong position to pursue a claim.
Utah operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning injured people first file a claim through their own Personal Injury Protection coverage, known as PIP, for initial medical expenses and lost wages. However, when injuries are serious Utah law allows an injured person to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim directly against the at-fault driver. Serious injuries, permanent impairment, and medical costs exceeding PIP limits are among the factors that may qualify.
Passengers in Utah may seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care. A personal injury attorney can review the available evidence and explain what options apply to a specific situation. Utah has a four-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens any future claim.
