Guide
How injury claims work in Salt Lake City and Utah
Filing deadline
Most Utah personal injury lawsuits must be filed within four years. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years.
No-fault threshold
Your own PIP coverage pays early medical bills. To claim pain and suffering from the other driver, you generally need more than $3,000 in medical expenses, a fracture, or a permanent injury, disfigurement or dismemberment.
Shared-fault bar
Utah reduces recovery by your share of fault and bars it unless the defendants’ combined fault is greater than yours, so 50 percent or more usually means no recovery.
Government and transit claims
A claim against Salt Lake City, the county, the state or UTA requires a written notice of claim within one year.
Which court hears the case
Salt Lake County lawsuits are generally filed in the Third District Court at the Matheson Courthouse. Small claims up to $20,000 can be filed without a lawyer.
How fees work
Injury firms usually work on contingency. Ask for the percentage and how case costs are paid, in writing.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Utah?
Most Utah personal injury lawsuits must be filed within four years, and wrongful death claims generally within two years. Claims against a government body or UTA need a written notice within one year.
Can I sue the other driver after a Salt Lake City car crash?

Yes, as long as your share of fault is less than the combined fault of the defendants. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Tips for a Salt Lake City injury claim
- Track your medical total. Whether bills pass $3,000 can decide if you can claim pain and suffering.
- Hold off on recorded statements. Talk to a lawyer before giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded account.
- Note the city. South Salt Lake, Millcreek and Murray are separate cities with their own police reports.
- Keep one folder. Store bills, pay stubs, repair estimates and insurer letters together from day one.
