Pedestrian Accidents in Utah
Pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern across Utah, especially in busy urban areas like St. George. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, pedestrian-related crashes frequently result in severe injuries due to the vulnerability of those on foot compared to motor vehicles.
These accidents often occur at intersections or crosswalks, where drivers may fail to yield or may not see pedestrians due to distractions or low visibility. Victims of pedestrian accidents may face long-term medical treatments, rehabilitation, and financial hardships due to lost wages and medical expenses.
Utah follows a fault-based insurance system, meaning injured pedestrians may seek compensation from an at-fault driver. Consulting with a legal professional can help victims understand their rights and pursue the compensation they deserve.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, seeking immediate medical care and legal guidance is essential to protecting your rights.
