Distracted or negligent drivers don’t always realize the consequences of their actions until it’s too late. Sadly, careless driving can quickly result in car accidents, often causing severe injuries to those involved.
One person’s split-second error could leave you in pain and out of work for days, weeks, or even months.
In Utah, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance is required and may help cover minor medical expenses. But if your medical costs exceed $3,000, you might need to seek additional compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance.
When this happens, insurance adjusters could try to minimize or deny your claim based on fault, leaving you to deal with mounting medical bills, physical pain, and lost income from missed work.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, it’s crucial to prepare for the possibility of an at-fault claim by obtaining the accident report and consulting an experienced car accident attorney. The team at Valley Law Accident & Injury Lawyers offers a free consultation to address your questions and help you explore your legal options.
The Taylorsville Police Department uses an online form for report requests.
Reports cost $10 and include accident scene photos (if available). Payment can be made online, with a $5 convenience fee for using the payment portal.
Be sure to complete your request before paying, as you will need the request number.
In the “Request Description” field, you’ll need to provide the case number, which you can find on the paperwork provided by the responding officer. If you are unable to locate the case number, you should provide other specifics, like the date, location, and approximate time of the accident, plus the names of the involved parties.
Due to Utah’s privacy laws, it’s a good idea to explain your involvement in the accident. Mention if you were a driver, passenger, injured person, owner of involved property, etc.
Under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), traffic accident reports are usually only released to involved parties or their representatives (like lawyers or insurance agents).
If you are the parent or legal guardian of an involved minor, you can request the report for them. However, you will need to upload a copy of their birth certificate.
The rest of the form asks for standard contact information, including name, address, phone number, and email address. If your request is approved, you will receive your report via email, so you must include an email address.
If you have not heard back within ten business days, you can sign in to the online portal and check the status of your request here.
