Your Pedestrian Accident Attorneys in Midvale, UT
Walking in the Salt Lake Valley, whether near the Midvale Fort Union Station, the Jordan River Parkway Trail, or through the residential streets of Bingham Junction, should be safe. However, the high-traffic corridors of State Street and 7200 South present significant dangers. In 2026, pedestrian safety remains a critical concern, and when a driver is distracted or fails to yield, the walker pays the ultimate price.
At Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys, our personal injury team recognizes that pedestrian accidents often involve life-altering injuries. Unlike occupants in a vehicle, you have no protection against several tons of steel.
Proving Driver Negligence in Midvale Crosswalks
Establishing liability in a pedestrian crash requires immediate action to preserve evidence. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the pedestrian, but under Utah Code § 41-6a-1002, motorists have a clear duty to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within crosswalks.
We work quickly to build a rock-solid case by:
- Securing Surveillance: Gathering footage from traffic cameras at major intersections like Fort Union Blvd and State St.
- Analyzing “Black Box” Data: Securing electronic data from the vehicle to prove speed or a lack of braking.
- Witness Interviews: Speaking with bystanders who saw the driver’s distracted behavior or failure to yield.
Navigating Utah’s “No-Fault” Thresholds in 2026
Utah is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage typically pays for the first few thousand dollars of your medical bills, regardless of who caused the accident. If you do not own a car, you may still be covered by the PIP policy of a household member or even the policy of the driver who hit you.
Under the updated 2026 standards, you can “step outside” the no-fault system and sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages if:
- Your medical expenses exceed the $3,000 PIP threshold.
- The accident results in permanent disability, impairment, or disfigurement.
- You suffered a bone fracture or the loss of a limb.
- The injury involves a permanent traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord damage.

Answers To Common Questions in Midvale, UT
Can I still recover damages if I wasn’t in a marked crosswalk?
Yes. While pedestrians must yield if crossing outside a crosswalk, drivers still have a “duty of care” to avoid a collision. Utah’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault.
What is the minimum insurance a driver must carry in 2026?
For policies renewed or issued on or after January 1, 2026, Utah drivers must carry a minimum of $30,000 for bodily injury to one person and $65,000 per accident. We help you explore additional options if your bills exceed these limits.
What if I was hit by a hit-and-run driver?
If the driver fled the scene, you may be able to seek compensation through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. We specialize in helping victims navigate these complex “first-party” claims.
