Question:
Can I file a claim in Salt Lake City if I don’t know who is at fault for the truck accident?
Answer:
In a lot of cases, figuring out who caused the crash or injury is pretty easy. Maybe someone slams into the back of you while you’re stopped at a stop light. Deciding fault in those kinds of cases is usually pretty simple.
Establishing who’s at fault for a Utah commercial truck accident can be way more difficult, however, especially when people start pointing fingers at each other.
In our system, there could be multiple at fault parties for a crash. Anyone involved in any way can share fault, even if he or she barely contributed to the accident.
You see, with commercial trucks, something that most people don’t understand is that when that big truck is driving down the road, it’s not just the driver or the owner of the truck that contributed to moving the truck. There’s a host of people sharing responsibility. There could be brokers, owners, drivers, safety companies, maintenance companies, and more. There might be two or three or four people who own or lease different parts of the same truck as it moves down the road. As such, it’s not uncommon for different parts of the same truck to be insured by different companies.
How do you sort out who’s at fault? In a Utah commercial truck crash, anybody who contributed to the crash can have some fault assessed to them, meaning they’ll have to pay for their portion of the crash.

With regards to case value, these three rules can serve as guides. First, the value of a case usually follows the severity of your injuries. The worse a person is hurt, the bigger the case. Second, how much are the medical bills? This one is similar to the last one – usually, the higher the medical bills, the more valuable the case. Third, what kind of impact did the crash have on your life? The more the injuries from a crash affect your life, the more the case is worth, oftentimes. All these factors go into helping evaluate the value of a case. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle crash, call us. We would love to talk with you about your case."
