Are you a Salt Lake City driver who’s experienced a sudden medical emergency behind the wheel? You might be sitting on a goldmine of coverage you never knew existed. As Utah’s top-ranked personal injury attorneys, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked auto insurance provisions in the state.
The “Unforeseeable Condition” Clause
Here’s a bombshell most Utah drivers don’t know:
- Your auto policy must cover damages if you’re stricken by sudden paralysis, seizure, or unconsciousness while driving.
- This applies even if you cause an accident during the medical event.
- It’s a form of no-fault coverage that goes beyond typical PIP benefits.
The Common Law Curveball
Historically, sudden medical emergencies were a complete defense to liability. But Utah law has flipped the script:
- You’re now covered for damages you cause during an unforeseen medical event.
- This coverage extends to your policy’s full limits, not just state minimums.
- It’s a safety net that could save you from financial ruin.
Real-Life Rescue: The Seizure Scenario
We represented a client who had a sudden seizure while driving, causing a multi-car pileup. Insurance initially denied the claim, citing the “Act of God” defense. We fought back, invoking this little-known provision, and secured full coverage for all parties involved.
