Draper sits at the south end of Salt Lake County, right where I-15 meets Bangerter Highway at Point of the Mountain, and that interchange sends a steady stream of crash cases through our office every year. The I-15 and Bangerter Highway interchange, the Point of the Mountain construction corridor, and the Silicon Slopes business parks along the freeway are where our legal team most often sees Draper crash reports.
What separates our firm from other personal injury lawyers in Draper is preparation. We build every case as a trial case from day one because that preparation produces settlements that reflect the full cost of what the injured person has lost.
The I-15 and Bangerter Highway interchange at Point of the Mountain generates some of the heaviest collision volume in southern Salt Lake County, and the Utah Department of Transportation’s multi-year reconstruction of that corridor has added active work zones on top of already dense commuter and freight traffic.
Corner Canyon’s trail system draws hikers, runners, and mountain bikers year-round, and collisions between cyclists and vehicles at trailhead crossings and neighborhood streets near the canyon are a recurring source of injury claims.
The Silicon Slopes corridor along the freeway also brings heavy commuter and rideshare traffic during shift changes at nearby technology campuses, adding parking lot and intersection risk that a purely residential suburb would not see.
Identifying every liable party is the first step our Draper personal injury attorneys take in every case. The at-fault driver’s liability insurance is the primary source of compensation, but Utah minimum coverage is often far below the actual cost of serious injuries, so we identify every additional coverage layer from day one, including underinsured motorist protection and any applicable commercial fleet policy.
Property owners, employers, and government entities can also share liability. When a government road defect or a UDOT construction zone contributed to the crash, claims against Draper City, Salt Lake County, or UDOT require a formal Notice of Claim under the Utah Governmental Immunity Act within one year, or the claim is barred entirely.
Utah’s comparative fault law under Utah Code 78B-5-818 allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% at fault, and our legal team pushes back when adjusters inflate that percentage to shrink a payout.
Utah’s statute of limitations under Utah Code 78B-2-307 gives most personal injury victims four years to file, wrongful death claims two years, and claims against government entities one year for a Notice of Claim. Missing these deadlines permanently bars the claim.
Every driver must carry Personal Injury Protection under Utah Code 31A-22-309, with a minimum of $3,000 in medical benefits paid regardless of fault. Once bills cross that threshold, or an injury causes permanent impairment, disfigurement, or death, you can pursue the at-fault driver’s liability coverage directly. Utah’s uninsured motorist law under Utah Code 31A-22-305.3 also protects Draper victims when the other driver has no insurance or not enough.
Evidence disappears quickly after accidents in Draper, and our legal team moves immediately to secure every piece before it is lost.
Utah law allows injured victims to recover economic damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical costs when injuries are permanent or require ongoing care, and insurance companies routinely undervalue these projections.
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life are recoverable under Utah Code 78B-5-710 through 78B-5-714 with no statutory cap for most personal injury cases in Utah.
Under the Utah Wrongful Death Act, surviving spouses and children can also bring a civil claim when a family member is killed through another party’s negligence, recovering lost financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses.
Our legal team handles a full range of injury claims throughout Draper.

Under Utah Code 78B-5-818, you can still recover as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. Our personal injury lawyers in Draper challenge inflated fault assignments with independent evidence whenever the insurer’s version is unsupported.
Get medical attention immediately, and if a vehicle was involved, treat it like any other car accident claim by calling 911, photographing the scene, and collecting witness information. Drivers often try to shift blame onto cyclists and pedestrians, so speak with an attorney before giving any statement to an insurer.
Workers’ compensation may cover part of your losses, but if a third party other than your employer caused or contributed to the injury, you may also have a separate personal injury claim. Our legal team can evaluate whether both types of claims apply to your situation.
Construction zone crashes often involve additional parties, including contractors and the government entity managing the project, and may require a Notice of Claim under the Utah Governmental Immunity Act within one year. Contact our legal team promptly so we can identify every responsible party.
Cases with clear liability and well-documented injuries can settle within six to twelve months. Disputed liability or serious injuries can extend that timeline to one to two years. We give every client an honest estimate from day one.
