Accident & Personal Injury
Hurt in a car accident? We can see you this week
Auto and work accident injury care in Salt Lake City. We treat you under PIP coverage and coordinate directly with your attorney.
What to do after a car accident
-
Get medical attention, even if you feel “okay”. Adrenaline masks pain, and some injuries show up days later.
-
Call the police and get a report; take photos of the scene, the vehicles and any visible injuries.
-
Report the crash to your auto insurer and open a PIP (no-fault) claim.
-
See us promptly so your injuries are examined, diagnosed and documented under PIP.
-
If you hire a personal-injury attorney, we coordinate your records directly with them.
PIP coverage & working with attorneys
Utah is a no-fault state, so every auto policy includes PIP (Personal Injury Protection), with a state minimum of $3,000 in medical benefits. PIP pays for reasonable accident-related care regardless of who caused the crash, usually with no upfront cost to you. We bill PIP directly when possible, document your treatment thoroughly, and coordinate with your personal-injury attorney so your recovery and your case stay on the same page. We review your specific coverage with you before treatment, and this page is general information, not legal advice.
