What is the Utah "NO FAULT" Law?
Many people are confused after they've been in an accident when they are told that they must bill their own automobile insurace for their initial medical treatment. People are left wondering, "Why should I bill my own insurance company when I didn't cause the accident?"
The Utah "No Fault" Law simply means that your own automobile insurance will take some of the hassle out of getting your initial medical bills paid. It is based on the premise that your own automobile insurance company and the automobile insurance company for the at-fault driver are in the best positions to determine who should really be paying the bills. When you are hurt, you do not want to find yourself in a fight with the other insurance companyat least not initially. Therefore, after you are injured in a car crash, you will first bill your own automobile insurance.
