How Does Utah's No-Fault Insurance Work After a Crash in St. George, UT?
Utah is a no-fault state, which means drivers generally turn to their own Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, coverage first after a crash, regardless of who caused it.
State law requires drivers to carry at least $3,000 in PIP coverage, which can help pay for medical bills and some lost wages up to that limit. Once PIP benefits are exhausted, a person may have other options depending on the severity of the injuries.
To step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver, Utah law generally requires meeting a specific threshold. This includes medical expenses exceeding a set amount or injuries that fall into categories like permanent disfigurement or dismemberment.
This threshold can be confusing, since it depends on both the type of injury and the dollar amount of related medical treatment. In these cases, it becomes very necessary to review medical records closely to determine whether a claim qualifies.
To keep thorough records of treatment, missed work, and related expenses can make it easier to show that a claim meets the threshold required to pursue further compensation. A car accident lawyer can help review those records and explain whether the facts support moving beyond PIP coverage.
