What You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations in Utah

Utah provides 4 years to file a personal injury claim under Utah Code § 78B-2-307 — one of the longer limitations periods in the country. However, acting early preserves critical evidence.

Comparative Fault

Utah follows a modified comparative fault system. You may recover damages as long as your share of fault is less than 50%. Your damages are reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault.

Workers' Compensation

Utah workers' comp provides exclusive employer remedy for on-the-job injuries, but you retain the right to file third-party claims against contractors, equipment manufacturers, and other responsible parties.

You may recover damages for:

  • Past and future medical care
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
