01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Utah?
Utah has a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (Utah Code § 78B-2-307) — one of the more generous in the West. Modified comparative fault with 50% bar — recovery barred if plaintiff is 50% or more at fault. Claims against UDOT or state entities require compliance with the Utah Governmental Immunity Act (Utah Code § 63G-7-401) — notice within 1 year. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Utah's Wasatch Front I-15 corridor and the I-80 west desert route carry significant freight. Mountain grades including the Weber Canyon and I-70 Colorado border approaches create extreme brake demand conditions. Utah follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar and has a 4-year SOL.
