Washington, UT (September 10, 2026) – A driver was hurt Wednesday, September 9, after a rollover crash that involved a cement truck and another car on I-15 northbound near mile marker 13.5 in Washington.
The crash occurred when a car collided with the cement truck and rolled over, according to the Utah Highway Patrol. Emergency units responded to the scene to assist those involved.
The full scope of the injuries has not been released. Investigators continue to review how the two vehicles collided.
We hope for a full recovery for everyone involved.
Filing Deadlines Washington, UT Drivers Should Know After a Car Crash
Utah law generally gives an injured driver four years to file a lawsuit for property damage after a crash, but only two years to file a personal injury claim seeking compensation for physical harm. This distinction catches many people off guard, since it's easy to assume that all crash-related claims share the same deadline.
If a driver misses the two-year injury deadline, they lose the right to pursue compensation entirely, no matter how clear the fault or how serious the injuries turned out to be.
The two-year clock generally starts running from the date of the crash itself, not from when treatment concludes or when a person first realizes the full extent of an injury. This matters because some injuries, particularly soft-tissue damage or concussions, can take weeks or months to fully present.
There are limited exceptions that can extend or adjust this timeline, such as cases that involve a minor or a defendant who leaves the state. These exceptions are narrow and don't apply to most claims.
The deadline is unforgiving once it passes, and a car accident lawyer can confirm exactly which date applies and make sure that evidence, like a police report or witness contact information, doesn't go stale while a person focuses on healing.
