What to Do After an ATV Accident in Utah

Stay Calm and Assess

Knowing what to do after an accident protects your health, legal rights, and insurance claim.

Step 1: Check for Injuries

Check yourself and passengers. Call 911 if anyone is seriously hurt. Do not move potential spinal injuries.

Step 2: Move to Safety

Move out of the trail if safe. Turn off the engine.

Step 3: Document the Scene

Take photos of damage, trail conditions, GPS coordinates, weather, and any injuries.

Step 4: Exchange Information

Get names, contact info, and insurance details from other parties and witnesses.

Step 5: Report It

Report to law enforcement if there are injuries or significant damage on public roads.

Step 6: Seek Medical Attention

See a doctor even if you feel fine. Some injuries are delayed. This also creates records for claims.

Step 7: Contact Insurance

Notify your insurer promptly with documentation. Follow their claims guidance.

Step 8: Keep Records

Save all medical bills, repair estimates, towing receipts, and correspondence.
