Salt Lake City Car Accident Attorneys Fighting for Your Full Recovery

Reviewed by Kara H. North, Managing Attorney at Moxie Law Group. Reviewed March 27, 2025.

If you were hurt in a car accident in Salt Lake City, Utah, you can seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and the Salt Lake City car accident lawyers at Moxie Law Group can handle your claim and deal with the insurance company for you. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win.

If you were injured in a Salt Lake City car accident, you are not alone. As Utah’s capital and most populous city, Salt Lake City sees tens of thousands of vehicles on its roads every day. With heavy commuter traffic, winter storms, construction zones, and distracted drivers, car accidents are unfortunately a common occurrence. When you’re involved in a serious Salt Lake City car accident, the road to recovery can be overwhelming. At Moxie Law Group, our car accident attorneys are here to help you seek justice and secure the compensation you need to move forward.

Why Salt Lake City Car Accidents Are So Common

As one of Utah’s busiest metro areas, Salt Lake City is no stranger to traffic congestion, road hazards, and driver negligence. Some of the leading causes of car accidents in Salt Lake City include:

• Distracted driving (texting, using GPS, eating)
• Speeding in city zones and residential neighborhoods
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Aggressive driving and road rage
• Snow and ice during winter months
• Unmarked construction zones and poorly lit roads

If your accident was caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. An experienced Salt Lake City car accident attorney can help you prove liability and fight for the damages you’re owed.

What to Do After a Salt Lake City Car Accident

After a car accident, your actions can impact your ability to recover damages. Here are the essential steps to take:

1. Call 911 and seek immediate medical help
2. Document the scene with photos and witness statements
3. Exchange information with the other driver(s)
4. Avoid admitting fault or discussing injuries with insurance adjusters
5. Contact a Salt Lake City car accident lawyer before signing any settlement offer

Even if your injuries seem minor, they may worsen over time. Get medical attention immediately and keep detailed records of your care.

How Moxie Law Group Helps Salt Lake City Car Accident Victims

At Moxie Law Group, our Salt Lake City car accident attorneys handle every part of your claim so you can focus on healing. We:

• Investigate the crash and gather evidence
• Work with accident reconstruction experts
• Handle all communication with insurance companies
• Fight for maximum compensation
• Prepare your case for trial if a fair settlement isn’t reached

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay unless we win. Whether you’ve suffered soft tissue injuries or catastrophic trauma, our Salt Lake City car accident attorneys are ready to fight for you.

Common Injuries in Salt Lake City Car Accidents

Salt Lake City car crashes can result in a wide range of injuries, including:

• Whiplash and neck injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones and fractures
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Emotional distress and PTSD

Even seemingly minor injuries can become long-term problems. That’s why it’s so important to speak to a Salt Lake City car accident lawyer right away.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Our car accident attorneys fight for full compensation, including:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

We assess all aspects of your Salt Lake City car accident to ensure no damage goes unaccounted for.

Understanding Utah's Car Accident Laws

Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means:

• You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault
• Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault

For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. Our attorneys will help you navigate this complex process and protect your rights.

Additionally, Utah is a no-fault state. This means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covers medical bills regardless of fault, but only up to $3,000. If your damages exceed that, you have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver.

Salt Lake City Car Accident FAQs - Auto Accident Attorney Salt Lake City

What steps should I take after a car accident in Salt Lake City?

After a car accident in Salt Lake City, make sure everyone is safe and call 911 for help. Get medical care right away, even if you think your injuries are minor. Take photos of the crash scene if possible and exchange contact and insurance details with the other driver. Reach out to a car accident lawyer before discussing your case with insurance companies.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for a Salt Lake City car crash?

Yes. Utah follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you may be able to recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. The amount you receive could be reduced based on your level of fault.

What kinds of damages can a car accident lawyer help me pursue?

A car accident lawyer can help you pursue damages for medical bills, lost wages, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. They can also help document the full value of your losses to support your claim.

Where Salt Lake City Crashes Happen

Our attorneys see the same corridors in case after case: I-15 through the downtown interchange, I-80 and I-215 merges, Bangerter Highway’s high-speed intersections, and surface streets like State Street, 400 South, and 700 East, where left-turn and pedestrian conflicts are constant. Winter inversions and canyon storms add black ice and chain-reaction pileups from November through March. Where your crash happened shapes the evidence available: intersection cameras, UDOT traffic data, nearby businesses’ footage. We move on that evidence before it’s overwritten.

Where Your Case Gets Filed

If the insurance company won’t pay fairly, Salt Lake City injury suits are filed in Utah’s Third District Court, the busiest trial court in the state. Insurers know which firms actually try cases there and which always settle, and they price their offers accordingly.

Three Utah rules control your claim: your own PIP coverage pays the first medical bills regardless of fault, but you can step outside the no-fault system once you exceed $3,000 in medical expenses or suffer a qualifying serious injury (Utah Code § 31A-22-309); you can recover only if you’re less than 50% at fault, and your award shrinks by your fault percentage; and you generally have four years to file most car-accident injury claims, but evidence should be preserved within weeks, not years.

Drunk Driving and Reckless Driver Accidents

When the at-fault driver was impaired or reckless, your claim may include punitive damages on top of full compensation. A Salt Lake City drunk driving accident attorney can use the criminal case to strengthen your civil claim while you focus on recovery. The same applies to street racing, excessive speed, and aggressive driving crashes.

Start Your Salt Lake City Car Accident Claim Today

If you were injured in a Salt Lake City car accident, don’t wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses move on, and deadlines can pass you by. Utah law gives you four years to file a personal injury claim, but the sooner you begin, the stronger your case will be.

    My first time seeking legal help. Was very nervous and unsure of how to deal with the process or what to expect. But all of the doubt and stress immediately faded away working with the wonderful people at Moxie Law! Specifically i had Alyssa, Jessica and Kara working on my case and these awesome ladies guided me through the process step by step, with so much clarity and understanding that it relieved my stress right away! After my accident i didn't know if I was going to pursue legal action, but im glad I did and went with Moxie Law because they fought for me and helped me with more compensation and peace of mind then I could've hoped for. Thank you Moxie Law!

    As a trauma specialist with decades of experience evaluating motor vehicle crash injuries, I approach personal injury cases from a very different perspective than the average client. I understand the biomechanics, diagnostic complexities, long-term implications, and the importance of properly framing medical evidence. What impressed me most about Alyssa Wood and the team at Moxy Law was their ability to distill complex medical information into a strong, well-structured legal argument. Alyssa did an excellent job understanding the medical side of the case and translating that information into the legal strategy. She understood how to connect the medical evidence to causation, severity, and overall case presentation in a way that was both strategic and effective. That ability to bridge the gap between medicine and law is uncommon. Many firms handle the administrative side of a case well, but far fewer truly understand how to leverage complex medical information to strengthen legal positioning. Moxy Law demonstrated that capability throughout the process. Their communication was professional, the process was organized, and they consistently paid attention to the details that matter in more medically complex injury cases. I would highly recommend Alyssa Wood and Moxy Law to anyone involved in a motor vehicle collision, particularly in cases where the medical side plays a critical role in the overall outcome.

    I love Moxie Law. I had an amazing experience working with them from start to finish. Going through my situation was stressful, but they made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and reassuring. The team was always professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping me get the best outcome possible. They kept me updated every step of the way and made sure I understood everything that was happening. I truly felt like they had my best interests in mind the entire time. What stood out most to me was how compassionate and dedicated they were throughout my case. They handled everything perfectly and took a huge weight off my shoulders during a difficult time. Every interaction was positive, and it was honestly a pleasure working with such knowledgeable and trustworthy people. I’m extremely grateful for everything they did for me and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personal injury law firm that truly goes above and beyond.

    This Injury Law Firm is INCREDIBLE!! From day 1 of working with them, they helped get everything figured out and on track! Having to deal with any accidents isn't ideal for anyone; Rachel and Kara made sure I was taken care of right out of the gate. From Consultation, to getting all the insurance detail, through recovery, and then to the finish line I knew I was taken care of and that they were fighting for what I deserved and needed. I will be recommending everyone to this Injury Law Firm because these people truly care and I felt that from the start! Thank you Moxie Law for providing the absolute best!

    I was injured in a car accident and I genuinely had no idea how any of this personal injury stuff worked. It took about 15 months to heal and finally settle everything, which felt so long, but Moxie Law helped me through every step, answered every question I had, and truly advocated for me. I have gotten the news of settlement and it is way more than I ever expected. I am grateful for the dedication they put into my case and all of their help through this exhausting and confusing process. I highly recommend them if you need a Personal Injury Lawyer!

    I’m incredibly grateful that I chose Moxie Law Group to represent me. Kara was amazing and truly fought for me every step of the way. She ended up getting me 10 times more than the original offer, which still blows my mind. What meant the most to me was that she never pressured me to settle quickly. She gave me the time I needed and helped arrange the testing that proved my symptoms were real. Having someone actually advocate for you like that makes all the difference. Kara was on my side the whole time, and I’m incredibly thankful for her work. I would absolutely recommend Moxie Law to anyone who needs someone in their corner.

As a female-led firm, they bring such a compassionate yet powerful presence to personal injury law, and it truly shows in the way they advocate for their clients. Their team is knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly dedicated. They took the time to explain every step of the process and fought tirelessly to ensure I understood my options and felt confident moving forward. Whether handling negotiations and preparing my case they approach everything with tenacity and integrity. What really stood out to me was their local experience in Utah County, They understand the community which made a huge difference in my case referring me to the right medical care. If you are dealing with an accident, medical bills, lost wages, or any injury-related stress, I highly recommend reaching out to them for a free consultation. Thank you, Moxie Law Group, specially Alyssa Wood for your strength, compassion, and unwavering support. – Marina

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am very grateful to Moxie Law for the amazing help they provided after my car accident. From the beginning, they were kind, professional, and very clear about my situation. They connected me with an excellent chiropractor who helped me get back into healthy shape, including X-rays and CAT scans to properly evaluate my injuries. What I appreciated most was their constant communication—every question I had was answered almost immediately, which gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. They were always to the point, honest, and supportive. I truly felt cared for and well represented. I highly recommend Moxie Law to anyone who needs an accident lawyer who truly puts their clients first.

    Moxi is incredible to work with! Kara and her team are top notch. They started working with my wife with a case and then, ironically, I had to open a case, as well. From start to finish, Kara and her team were on top of making sure any of my claims were sent and accounted for. They are awesome to work with!

Kara and Rachel worked so hard with me from day 1 when I was in my first accident, all the way till the very end. 2 surgeries, 2 moves, losing my job, finding a new one thats even better and helped me stay positive through it all. They were not just my attorneys, but my cheerleaders as well. I cannot thank them enough for helping me get through this. Above and beyond!!! I will always recommend them!! Thank you all so much for everything

    I am beyond grateful for the incredible representation I received from Kara North. She is truly a relentless advocate in the pursuit of justice! From our very first meeting, it was clear that her dedication to fighting for her clients is unwavering. Kara approached our case with tenacity and passion, leaving no stone unturned in her quest for a favorable outcome. Her thorough understanding of the law, combined with her strategic thinking, made me feel confident that I was in the best hands possible. She tirelessly worked through every challenge, always keeping our best interests at heart, and I was consistently amazed by her ability to remain determined and focused, no matter how daunting the obstacles seemed. Her remarkable communication skills ensured I was always informed and involved in the process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will advocate for you with unmatched fervor and dedication, Kara North is the one to trust. She doesn’t just settle for anything less than justice, and for that, she deserves every bit of this five-star rating!

    I went to Moxie when I was in a car wreck in 2022. Kara was excellent in handling my case. She always made sure I was up to date on the details and what my options were. I hope to never have to use them again but if something happens again she will be my first call. Thanks again Kara and Rachel you two women are amazing.

    Several years ago, I was injured in a hit-and-run that ended up becoming one heck of a complex case due to multiple insurance carriers all pointing fingers at each other. My prior attorney dropped the ball, and some of my medical bills ended up going to collections. Jessica was able to get my bills out of collections while their team worked on getting one of the insurance companies to take responsibility--which they were able to do soon after. Jessica and Kara got to the bottom of the mess I brought them, and were able to expeditiouslt resolve the matter. I highly recommend them to anyone who unfortunately finds themselves in need of a personal injury attorney.

    Kara and Rachel are amazing! I would recommend them if you unfortunately find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney. My mother and I were visiting family in Utah from Washington State when my mother had her fall. While searching for representation in my town, Kara was referred to me by a highly respected attorney. I am so glad that we followed that referral 800 miles away from us! Kara and her team were so helpful and understanding, they were so very persistently patient with me in gathering the information and they were very thorough from beginning to end! We appreciate all Kara, Rachel and the Moxie Law Group did for my mother and I.

Their dedication and expertise truly made a difference in my case, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Thank you again for everything and thank you for your patience with me and willingness to gently carry me through this process.

    The ladies of Moxie Law Group are amazing! In April, our son was hit as a pedestrian in the crosswalk by a ding-a-ling who had horribly low auto insurance coverage. Ambulance, hospital, doctors, surgery, 8 screws, a pin and a plate in his leg and months of recovery and PT, were very difficult. We were planning to call one of the larger Personal Injury lawyers, but got a trusted referral to the ladies at Moxie and called them first, and we are so glad we did! From the moment Paralegal Rachel took our call they took care of everything. Attorney Kara and Rachel were always kind, caring, friendly, and professional to work with. They had things quickly negotiated, bills paid, and a settlement to our son by October. We can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did. Honestly, if you or someone you know need a Personal Injury Attorney, call Moxie Law Group! Do not waste your time with one of the larger PI law firms where you are just another number and will be neglected. I've personally experienced both sides and wish I had known of Moxie Law Group when I went with a larger group for an auto accident years ago. The experiences were night-and-day, and in comparison working with Moxie Law Group was much more pleasant and painless! Hire the ladies at Moxie Law Group if you or anyone you know ever need Personal Injury Attorney, you will not regret it! If I could give them 10 stars I would! Thank you Kara and Rachel, we could not have gotten through this without you!
