Insurance & Compensation Basics

  1. Did you know? Utah’s minimum car insurance coverage is 25/65/15 ($25K per person, $65K per accident, $15K property damage).
  2. Did you know? If the at-fault driver in Utah is uninsured, your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can cover your damages.
  3. Did you know? If the at-fault driver has too little insurance, your underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can help make up the difference.
  4. Did you know? Utah drivers must carry at least $3,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage to pay medical bills after an accident.
  5. Did you know? If your damages exceed $3,000, you can step outside Utah’s no-fault system and sue the other driver for pain and suffering.
  6. Did you know? If your insurance company delays or denies your valid claim, you might have a case for bad faith insurance practices.
  7. Did you know? Your own PIP insurance covers medical bills even if you were a passenger, pedestrian, or bicyclist hit by a car.
  8. Did you know? If you lend your car to someone and they crash it, your insurance pays first—because insurance follows the car, not the driver.
  9. Did you know? Your health insurance might deny paying accident-related medical bills until your auto PIP coverage is exhausted.
  10. Did you know? If your car is totaled, Utah law requires insurance companies to pay the fair market value, not just what you owe on your loan.
