Sandy roads and the crashes we see
Sandy is split by I-15, with interchanges at 9000 South, 10600 South, and nearby 11400 South that funnel commuters, shoppers, and event traffic onto busy surface streets. State Street and the 10600 South corridor near the South Towne area carry dense retail traffic, with frequent turning, merging and rear-end collisions. On the east side, 700 East, 1300 East, and Highland Drive bring residential traffic toward the canyons.
Sandy is also the gateway to Little Cottonwood Canyon. Winter ski traffic on SR-210 and Wasatch Boulevard adds steep grades, snow and ice, and heavy weekend congestion. Collisions in these conditions raise questions about speed for conditions, traction devices, and road maintenance, and each of these can affect who is at fault.
Slip and fall claims in a retail hub
With large shopping centers and big-box stores along State Street and 10600 South, Sandy sees its share of premises claims: icy parking lots, wet entryways, and poorly lit stairs. Property owners must keep conditions reasonably safe, but proving what they knew and when often depends on incident reports, video, and maintenance logs. Ask for an incident report before you leave, and take photos if you can.
Utah law, applied to a Sandy case
Most Utah injury claims must be filed within four years (Utah Code § 78B-2-307), but don’t wait. Video is overwritten and witnesses move. Utah’s modified comparative fault rule reduces your recovery by your share of fault and bars it at 50% (§ 78B-5-818). In a winter canyon crash, an insurer may argue that you share the blame for the conditions. Evidence is how we respond to that.
If a lawsuit is filed, Salt Lake County cases are heard by the Third Judicial District Court, at its West Jordan courthouse (8080 S Redwood Rd) or the Matheson Courthouse downtown. Most claims settle before trial.
After an accident in Sandy
If you need care, Intermountain Alta View Hospital is in Sandy, and there are urgent care clinics along State Street and 700 East. Tell the provider exactly how the injury happened, because those notes become evidence.
Sandy Police handle most crashes on city streets, while the Utah Highway Patrol usually responds on I-15. Write down the report number at the scene. Save texts, photos and receipts, and avoid discussing fault with the other driver or posting about the crash online.
Close to home, start to finish
Because our office is minutes away, Sandy clients can drop off documents, meet their case manager, or have us visit a crash or fall location quickly. Many clients also never need to come in: phone, text and e-signature handle most of the work.

Questions
Frequently asked
I crashed on an icy canyon road. Can I still recover?
Possibly. Fault depends on what each driver did in those conditions. Under Utah law you can recover as long as the other side’s fault exceeds yours, reduced by your share.
I slipped in a store parking lot. What should I do first?
Get medical care, report it to the store and ask for a copy of the incident report, photograph the area and your shoes, and get witness names.
How close is your office?
About 3 miles from Sandy City Hall, roughly an 8-minute drive.
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing. We work on contingency, so no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
