Protecting Injured Pedestrians Across Utah
Pedestrians have no physical protection in a collision. When a car, SUV, or truck strikes someone on foot, injuries are often severe and life-altering. If you or a loved one has been hit by a vehicle in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, or anywhere across Utah, you may be facing overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about your rights.

Understanding Pedestrian Rights in Utah
Utah law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and exercise reasonable care to avoid collisions. If you were hit in a crosswalk with a walk signal, the driver may be clearly liable. Even outside a crosswalk, drivers still have a duty to remain alert and avoid striking pedestrians.
No-Fault (PIP) Coverage for Pedestrians
Utah's no-fault insurance system typically provides Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits to pedestrians struck by vehicles. This often covers the first portion of medical expenses regardless of fault. For serious injuries, a liability claim against the driver's insurance may be necessary to pursue full compensation.
Serious Injury Medical Coordination
Pedestrian accidents frequently result in traumatic brain injuries, broken legs or pelvis fractures, spinal injuries, and internal trauma. We connect clients with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists experienced in high-impact pedestrian injuries. Medical documentation plays a critical role in securing proper compensation.

Common Questions About Utah Pedestrian Accidents
What should I do if I'm hit by a car as a pedestrian in Utah?
Seek medical care immediately, contact law enforcement, gather information if you can, and speak with an attorney before discussing fault or accepting any insurance settlement.
Can I still recover damages if I was hit outside a crosswalk?
Yes. Being outside a crosswalk does not automatically prevent recovery. Utah law allows injured pedestrians to recover compensation as long as they are not more than 50% at fault. The driver may still bear significant responsibility for failing to avoid the collision.
Who pays my medical bills after a pedestrian accident?
Typically, the driver's auto insurance provides PIP benefits to cover initial medical expenses. For more serious injuries, you may pursue additional compensation through a liability claim against the driver.
What damages can I recover?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and long-term care. In tragic cases involving fatal injuries, families may pursue a wrongful death claim.
What if the accident happened at night or I wasn't wearing bright clothing?
Each case depends on its specific facts. Even in low-visibility conditions, drivers still have a duty to exercise reasonable care. An attorney will evaluate evidence such as lighting, speed, and driver attentiveness.
