Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in St. George?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Utah, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in St. George and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Seek treatment at the nearest emergency facility.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Utah's statute of limitations is 4 years (Utah Code § 78B-2-307). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Utah Law
How Does Utah Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (50% Bar)
Source: Utah Code § 78B-5-818
Utah bars recovery if your fault is 50% or greater — one of the stricter thresholds nationally.
Statute of Limitations: 4 years
Source: Utah Code § 78B-2-307
In Utah, you generally have 4 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages in medical malpractice capped at $450,000. No general PI cap.
Key Utah Laws Affecting Your Case
Modified Comparative Fault (50% Bar)
Utah Code § 78B-5-818
Utah uses a stricter 50% bar — if you are found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. This is more restrictive than the 51% bar used by most modified comparative fault states.
4-Year Statute of Limitations
Utah Code § 78B-2-307
Utah has a generous 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — one of the longest in the nation. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years (Utah Code § 78B-2-304).
No-Fault Auto Insurance (PIP)
Utah Code § 31A-22-307
Utah is a no-fault state requiring PIP coverage of $3,000 minimum for medical expenses. To sue for pain and suffering, you must show medical expenses exceeding $3,000 or suffer permanent disability, disfigurement, or impairment.
Mandatory Auto Insurance
Utah Code § 31A-22-304
Utah requires minimum liability coverage of 25/65/15 ($25,000 per person, $65,000 per accident BI, $15,000 PD). Utah's per-accident BI minimum of $65,000 is higher than most states.
DUI Law
Utah Code § 41-6a-502
Utah has the strictest DUI law in the nation — BAC limit is .05 for adults (lowered from .08 in 2018), .00 for those under 21. Implied consent applies. Utah is the only state with a .05 BAC limit.
Dram Shop Liability
Utah Code § 32B-15-201
Utah's dram shop statute allows claims against licensed alcohol sellers who provide alcohol to a person in an intoxicated condition or a minor who subsequently causes injury. Given Utah's strict liquor control system (state-run liquor stores), dram shop liability operates somewhat differently than in other states.

Common Questions
St. George Personal Injury FAQ
What should I do after a car accident in St. George, Utah?
After a St. George car accident: call 911, document the scene, and seek medical attention. St. George PD handles city crashes. I-15, Bluff Street, and Red Cliffs Drive are primary corridors. St. George is one of the fastest-growing US cities, and Zion National Park tourism traffic creates seasonal crash spikes. Call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724.
How does St. George's tourism and growth affect crash rates?
St. George is the gateway to Zion National Park (4.5M+ annual visitors) and Snow Canyon. SR-9 through Springdale carries massive tourist traffic on a narrow, winding road. Rapid population growth has overwhelmed road infrastructure on I-15 and Bluff Street. Bond Legal handles tourism-corridor crash claims.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in St. George, UT cost?
A personal injury lawyer in St. George typically costs nothing upfront — Bond Legal works on a contingency fee basis. You pay $0 unless we win your case. Our St. George personal injury attorneys only get paid when you receive compensation.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Utah?
The statute of limitations for personal injury in Utah is 4 years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to compensation forever. Contact Bond Legal immediately — the sooner you call, the stronger your case.
How much is my St. George personal injury case worth?
The value of a St. George personal injury case depends on medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and injury severity. Every case is unique. Bond Legal has recovered over $500 million for clients nationwide. Call (866) 423-7724 for a free case evaluation.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer after my St. George accident?
No — insurance companies routinely offer lowball settlements far below your case's true value after a St. George accident. They hope you'll accept before speaking with an attorney. Bond Legal's St. George lawyers pursue fair compensation and are prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.
What types of accidents does Bond Legal handle in St. George?
Bond Legal handles car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian injuries, and more in St. George. We also cover rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, workplace injuries, wrongful death, birth injuries, sexual assault civil claims, and fire/burn injuries.
How long will my St. George personal injury case take?
