Legal Guidelines for Utah Wrongful Death Claims
- Strict Deadlines to File: Under Utah Code section 78B-2-304, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Utah is strictly two years from the date of the person’s passing.
This window is significantly shorter than the standard four-year limit for general personal injury claims under Utah Code section 78B-2-307.Failing to take action within these statutory limits means your family permanently forfeits the right to hold the negligent party accountable.
- Eligible Beneficiaries: According to statutory parameters defined in Utah Code section 78B-3-106, a civil action for wrongful death may be maintained for the benefit of the deceased person’s statutory heirs or by the personal representative of the estate.
Eligible heirs can include a surviving spouse, children, parents, and dependent minor stepchildren.
- Modified Comparative Fault: Under Utah Code section 78B-5-818, Utah uses a modified comparative negligence system.
Your family could still recover compensation as long as your loved one’s percentage of fault was less than 50%. However, the final financial recovery will be reduced by that exact percentage of fault.

The Strong Law Difference
The primary obstacle in a wrongful death claim is proving what happened, but also fighting against insurance adjusters who seek to minimize their financial exposure.
Corporate insurers routinely attempt to delay claims or shift fault onto the person who passed away to devalue the file.
Strong Law steps in to strategically counteract these strategies.
We immediately move to preserve and gather vital evidence, which can include camera footage, accident reports, and eyewitnesses.
By preparing your claim from day one for a jury trial, rather than an easy settlement, we utilize the necessary leverage to give your family the best outcome.
