Picture this: You’ve just settled your Utah car accident case, but your measly check barely covers your medical bills. Meanwhile, your insurance company is demanding every penny.
Hold onto your hat, friend. There’s a legal lifeline you’ve never heard of.
The “Made Whole” Rule: Your Financial Savior
That insurance company’s demand? It’s not just greedy. It might be downright illegal.
Utah’s “Made Whole” Doctrine
Buckle up, folks, because Utah’s “made whole” rule is about to turn your insurance nightmare into a David vs. Goliath victory:
- Insurance companies can’t touch your settlement until you’re fully compensated
- “Fully compensated” means ALL your losses – past, present, and future
- Even ironclad policy language might not override this rule
- The burden of proof is on the insurer, not you
That’s right. In Utah, your car accident settlement isn’t just a feeding frenzy for insurance vultures. It’s your protected nest egg until you’re truly “made whole.”
The “But I Signed a Contract!” Defense (Spoiler: It Might Not Matter)
Now, you might be thinking, “But my policy says they get paid first!”
Wake up and smell the justice, pal. In Utah’s legal arena, the “made whole” rule can trump even the clearest contract language.
Real-World “Made Whole” Rule Victories
Think this is just legal fairy tales? Think again:
- The crash victim who kept a million-dollar settlement despite insurance demands
- The family who used the “made whole” rule to secure lifelong care for their child
- The motorcyclist who fought off multiple insurers and won big
Each of these turned a potential insurance company massacre into a true victory for the little guy.
Why This Matters to Every Utah Driver
Here’s the mind-blowing truth: The “made whole” rule doesn’t just affect huge cases. It can be a game-changer for:
- Anyone with ongoing medical needs
- Victims who’ve lost wages or earning capacity
- Even folks with seemingly small settlements that don’t cover all losses
