How to File an Auto Insurance Claim in Utah

Filing an auto insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially right after an accident. Inter America Insurance can guide Utah drivers through the claims process and help them find coverage options that fit their needs.

Step-by-Step Guide to Filing an Auto Insurance Claim

The following steps can help you prevent delays and costly errors:

• Stay at the scene, check on everyone and call 911 if there are injuries or major damage, as a report may be required.
• Collect names, contacts, license plate numbers and insurance details from all parties.
• Take photos of damage, road conditions and injuries.
• Contact your insurance company promptly.
• Review your deductible and policy coverage.
• Keep records of every interaction, claim numbers and adjuster names.

Tips for a Stress-Free Claims Experience

To help your claim move faster, avoid admitting fault at the scene, as liability is reviewed by adjusters. Report the incident to your insurer clearly and completely. If repairs are needed, you may be referred to a preferred shop, though you can usually choose your own.

Understanding Your Coverage

Utah is a no-fault state, which means personal injury protection (PIP) may cover medical costs first, regardless of fault. When injuries are serious or expenses exceed set limits, filing a claim against the at-fault driver may be an option. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can help if the other driver has little or no insurance and is generally included in state policies unless declined in writing.
