Utah follows a modified comparative negligence law with a 50% fault bar. This means:
If you're 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
If you're less than 50% at fault, you can recover damages, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Other Important Aspects:

Negligence: To prove negligence, you must show the following elements:
Duty of care: The other driver owed you a duty to act like a reasonable driver.
Breach of duty: The other driver breached their duty by acting unreasonably.
Causation: The other driver's breach of duty caused your injuries or damages.
Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Minimum Insurance Requirements: Utah requires drivers to carry $80,000/$90,000 in liability insurance coverage per accident.
Statute of Limitations: You have 4 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit."
