Riverton’s roads and traffic
Riverton is a fast-growing suburb in the southwest corner of Salt Lake County. Bangerter Highway runs along its east side, the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) runs along the west, and east–west routes like 12600 South and 13400 South carry commuters to I-15. Redwood Road is the main north–south surface street through the middle of the city.
Many Riverton crashes happen where these corridors meet: signalized intersections on 12600 South, merges onto Bangerter interchanges, and left turns across Redwood Road. Neighborhood streets with school zones and parks see pedestrian and bicycle injuries, especially during school pickup and in summer.
Getting care and preserving evidence
Intermountain Riverton Hospital is on 12600 South in Riverton, and urgent care clinics line the main roads. See a provider quickly, and tell them exactly how you were hurt so the record ties your injuries to the crash.
Photograph the scene, the vehicles and any traffic signals, and look for doorbell or business cameras. Footage like this is often overwritten within days.
How we work with Riverton clients
Because Riverton is so close, we can meet you at the office, look at a crash location on Bangerter or 12600 South ourselves, or collect records from local providers without delay. You get a named case manager and a standing response window, so you are never left wondering where the case stands. Before you decide on any settlement offer, we walk you through the numbers: what goes to medical bills and liens, what goes to fees and costs, and what you keep.
What the law means for your claim
Utah generally allows four years to file a negligence claim (Utah Code § 78B-2-307), two years for wrongful death (§ 78B-2-304), and only one year to file a notice of claim when a government entity is involved (§ 63G-7-402). Under Utah’s modified comparative fault rule, you can recover only if the other side’s fault exceeds yours, and your recovery is reduced by your share (§ 78B-5-818). At 50% you recover nothing.
If a Riverton case has to be filed, it goes to the Third Judicial District Court, which hears Salt Lake County cases at the Matheson Courthouse (450 S State St) and the West Jordan courthouse (8080 S Redwood Rd). Most claims settle without a trial, but we build every file so it is ready if one is needed.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Riverton close to your office?
Yes, about 5 miles, roughly 11 minutes without traffic.
My crash was at a Bangerter interchange. Does it matter whose fault the merge was?
Very much. Under Utah’s 50% bar, fault percentages decide whether you recover and how much. Evidence like vehicle damage, photos and video matters.
What does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. We work on contingency: no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Do you have Spanish-speaking staff?
Yes. Se habla español.
