- 1
Common Defenses To Personal Injury
In Utah, a common defense in personal injury cases is comparative fault. This means if you are partially at fault for your injuries, your compensation might be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault in an accident and your damages are $10,000, you would receive $8,000. If found 50% or more at fault, you may not receive any compensation.
- 2
When You Can Seek Legal Recourse:
You can seek legal recourse in cases of negligence, where another’s failure to act reasonably has caused your injury. This includes, but is not limited to, car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and dog bites. Utah’s no-fault car insurance system requires meeting a “serious injury” threshold to step outside of no-fault and file a liability claim against the at-fault driver.
- 3
What Evidence Is Needed When Seeking Legal Recourse
Evidence gathering is crucial and may include medical records, police reports, witness statements, and any documentation related to the accident and your injuries. Your attorney may also work with accident reconstruction experts and medical professionals to strengthen your case.

Legal Process For Personal Injury
The process typically starts with a free consultation with a personal injury attorney, followed by an investigation and evidence gathering. A demand letter is then sent to the at-fault party, outlining your injuries and compensation sought. If settlement negotiations don’t result in a fair settlement, a lawsuit may be filed, leading to discovery, possible mediation, and potentially trial.
