How payment usually works in Utah

After an accident the priority is getting evaluated and starting the right care early. We document everything thoroughly and coordinate with your auto insurer and, if you have one, your attorney.

Your own auto policy includes Personal Injury Protection (PIP), with a state minimum of $3,000 in medical coverage.

PIP generally covers accident-related medical care no matter who caused the crash. Coverage varies, so confirm your policy.

03

We coordinate the paperwork

We document your care for your insurer and attorney and bill the right party, so you can focus on recovery.

Attorney and provider friendly

We work alongside your attorney and other providers and keep your records organized.

After-accident questions

Who pays for my rehab after a car accident in Utah?

Utah is a no-fault state, so your own auto insurance Personal Injury Protection (PIP) typically pays for accident-related medical care regardless of who was at fault. The state minimum is $3,000 of medical coverage; your policy may include more. We can help you understand your benefits.

How soon should I come in after a crash?

As soon as you can. Injuries like whiplash often appear a few days later, and starting documented care early helps both your recovery and your claim.

Do I need a lawyer to be treated?

No. You can start care right away. If you do have an attorney, we coordinate documentation and billing with them.

What if my accident was months ago?

It is still worth an evaluation. Lingering neck, back and headache symptoms after a crash are common and often treatable.
