For example, if the driver that hit you was intoxicated at the time of the crash, it could be tempting to assume that the crash was 100 percent the fault of the drunk driver. However, upon closer inspection, it is revealed that the drunk driver was operating a vehicle that had faulty brakes. Upon this revelation, you’re now in a position to sue both the other driver and the manufacturer of the defective brakes.
After a detailed investigation into the cause(s) of the crash, it becomes time to determine fault. It is important to note that Utah recognizes a modified approach to comparative negligence. This means that as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault for your crash that you may be entitled to recover compensation even if you were partially to blame for the circumstances that led to your harm.
