When Can You Sue for Pain and Suffering in St. George, UT?
In Utah, you can sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering only after meeting the state's no-fault threshold. That generally means reasonable medical expenses above $3,000, or an injury involving death, dismemberment, permanent disfigurement, or a permanent disability or impairment supported by objective medical findings. Below that line, your own personal injury protection coverage handles most costs.
Utah requires every auto policy to include at least $3,000 in personal injury protection for medical bills, along with partial wage replacement, generally 85% of lost income up to $250 per week for up to a year, and modest payments for household help.
However, this coverage disappears quickly. A few urgent care visits, an MRI, and several weeks of physical therapy for a neck or back strain can pass $3,000, and fractures or surgery go far beyond it.
Crossing the threshold is only the first step. Insurers usually argue that treatment was unnecessary or overpriced, hoping to keep the bills below $3,000 or to shrink the value of the claim. Consistent care, clear doctor's notes, and imaging that documents objective findings make that argument harder.
Fault matters as well, since Utah bars recovery for anyone found 50% or more responsible and reduces it for any smaller share. For an injured person trying to focus on recovery, a car accident lawyer can track medical expenses against the threshold, gather the records that prove each bill was reasonable, and present the claim to the at-fault driver's insurer once the full picture is clear.
