Where to File in Utah
Utah Code § 78B-3-106 governs wrongful death claims with a 2-year statute of limitations. Utah Code § 78B-3-813 caps non-economic damages in personal injury and wrongful death cases at $450,000. Economic damages — lost earnings, medical expenses, and funeral costs — are uncapped. Salt Lake County District Court handles Utah's highest volume of wrongful death cases. Utah's construction activity, ski resort industry, and outdoor recreation generate wrongful death cases from workplace, vehicle, and premises liability incidents.
