Utah sits on I-15 (Mexico to Canada) and I-80 (transcontinental). Salt Lake City is a major intermodal hub with substantial Mormon Church-related and tech-industry distribution traffic.

Utah truck accident law — key points

Three legal questions affect almost every truck accident case in Utah. Each is governed by a public statute we link below — you can verify everything.

Comparative negligence rule

Modified comparative negligence (50% bar)

See statute

Utah uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar (Utah Code § 78B-5-818). Plaintiff can recover only if her fault is less than 50%.

Damages caps

No cap on compensatory damages

See statute

No statutory cap on compensatory damages in standard truck cases. Medical malpractice has caps that don't apply to motor vehicle cases.
