Utah Car
Accident Attorneys

We understand that Utah, like most Rocky Mountain States are some of the most difficult and dangerous places to drive in the United States. This fact is largely due to the fact that this area has some of the fastest growing populations seen in the country. These increased numbers mean that Utah roads and highways will have a problem to continue to safely support the amount of traffic happening on a daily basis. As one of the most prominent Utah Accident Attorneys, Jeffrey D. Gooch knows it is not just the numbers of cars on the road that accounts for the crashes and accidents we see, road conditions and weather are also huge culprits. Divers constantly face the unpredictable and ever changing weather of Utah. This includes driving through elements like rain, snow, sleet, hail and high winds. These conditions all work together to decrease driver visibility while at the same time causing cars to slip and slide into objects on the road. The roads themselves can also be quite hazardous. Poor road maintenance leads to defective and dangerous roadway surfaces littered with potholes, cracks and debris. In fact, more than half of all fatality accidents in Utah were considered “roadway departure crashes.”
