Utah's No-Fault Rules and Your Medical Bills in Bountiful, UT
For many Bountiful drivers, the first money worry after an injury is how to pay for the emergency room visit and the appointments that follow. Utah is a no-fault state, so personal injury protection (PIP) generally pays the first round of costs no matter who caused the accident.
Every Utah auto policy must include at least $3,000 in PIP for medical expenses. The coverage also replaces 85 percent of lost income, up to $250 a week for as long as 52 weeks. It pays $20 a day, for up to a year, for household tasks a person can no longer do.
If someone dies, PIP includes a $1,500 funeral benefit and a separate $3,000 payment to survivors. Insurers are generally expected to pay within 30 days of receiving proof of the loss, without any finding of fault.
Those limits also shape what comes next. Utah allows a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering only once medical bills pass $3,000, or when the injury involves a broken bone, dismemberment, permanent impairment, permanent disfigurement or death.
Reaching that line usually depends on clear medical records, and a car accident lawyer can review bills and treatment notes to see whether a claim may move beyond no-fault benefits. Until then, the other driver's insurer may treat the claim as limited to what PIP already covered.
