Utah Hit and Run Laws: Penalties and What to Do
Utah Code sections 41-6a-401 through 41-6a-403 require every driver to stop and exchange information after any accident. Penalties range from a Class B misdemeanor for leaving a property-damage accident (including failing to leave a note on an unattended vehicle) to a third-degree felony when serious bodily injury results and a second-degree felony when the accident causes a death.
Hurt in a hit-and-run? If the driver who hit you fled or had no insurance, your own uninsured/underinsured-motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay your injury claim. Estimate what it could be worth with our free Utah Car Accident Settlement Calculator.
Overview of Utah Hit and Run Laws
Under Utah Code Sections 41-6a-401 through 41-6a-403, every driver involved in an accident must stop, exchange information, and render reasonable assistance to injured persons. Leaving the scene without fulfilling these obligations is a criminal offense that ranges from a Class B misdemeanor for property-damage accidents (including failing to leave a note on an unattended vehicle) to a second-degree felony for accidents involving death.
Utah law does not require proof that you "knowingly" left the scene. The duty to stop applies if you knew, or had "reason to believe," that you may have been involved in an accident. This standard affects both how the offense is charged and what defenses may be available.
Utah operates as a no-fault insurance state, meaning drivers file initial injury claims under their own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. However, this does not eliminate criminal liability for leaving the scene. The no-fault system addresses insurance claims, not criminal responsibility.

Penalties for Hit and Run in Utah
Utah classifies hit and run offenses based on the type and severity of the accident. Penalties increase significantly when injuries are involved.
| Offense | Statute | Classification | Maximum Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property damage, including unattended vehicle or property (no note) | § 41-6a-401 | Class B Misdemeanor | 6 months jail, $1,000 fine |
| Injury (leaving scene) | § 41-6a-401.3 | Class A Misdemeanor | 364 days jail, $700 minimum fine |
| Serious bodily injury | § 41-6a-401.3 | Third-degree Felony | 5 years prison, $800 minimum fine |
| Death | § 41-6a-401.3 | Second-degree Felony | 1 to 15 years prison, $800 minimum fine |
| Automobile homicide (DUI-related) | § 76-5-207 | Second-degree Felony | 5 to 15 years prison |
Additional Consequences
A hit and run conviction triggers driver's license suspension or revocation. Your insurance premiums will rise substantially. Driving without insurance in Utah is a Class B misdemeanor by itself.
A felony conviction creates a permanent criminal record that affects employment, housing, and professional licensing. The court may also order restitution to victims for medical expenses, property damage, and other losses.
Driver Duties After an Accident
Utah Code establishes specific obligations that apply to every driver involved in an accident. These duties activate immediately upon involvement in a collision, regardless of fault.
Duty to Stop
If an accident injures someone, § 41-6a-401.3 requires you to immediately stop at the scene or as close to it as possible without obstructing traffic more than necessary. In a property-damage-only accident, § 41-6a-401 lets you move your vehicle out of the travel lanes to a nearby safe location that does not obstruct traffic. Either way, you must remain there until you have fulfilled all information exchange and aid requirements.
Duty to Exchange Information
You must provide the following information to the other party or to a peace officer:
- Your name and address
- Your vehicle registration number
- Your phone number
- Your insurance company name and policy number
You must also show your driver's license upon request by the other party or a peace officer.
Duty to Render Aid
If anyone is injured, you must render reasonable assistance. This includes arranging transportation to a physician, surgeon, or hospital if the injured person requests it or if the need for treatment is apparent.
Utah law specifically permits you to transport an injured person to a medical facility. Doing so does not constitute leaving the scene as long as you report the accident promptly afterward.
Duty to Notify Law Enforcement
If the accident results in injury or death, you must immediately notify law enforcement by the quickest means available. For property-damage-only accidents, the same immediate notice is required when the apparent damage is $2,500 or more (§ 41-6a-401(4)).
When Hit and Run Is a Misdemeanor
Utah classifies hit and run as a misdemeanor in the situations below. Prior convictions can raise these charges to a higher class.
Unattended Vehicle or Property (§ 41-6a-401(5))
If you strike an unattended vehicle or other property, you must either locate and notify the owner or securely attach a written notice in a conspicuous place on the struck vehicle or property giving:
- Your name and address
- The registration number of the vehicle that caused the damage
Failing to do so is punished the same way as leaving any other property-damage accident: a Class B misdemeanor for a first offense. It still creates a criminal record.
Class B Misdemeanor: Property Damage (§ 41-6a-401)
Leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage without exchanging required information, when you knew or had reason to believe you were involved, is a Class B misdemeanor. This applies whether the other vehicle or property is attended or unattended.
The maximum penalty is 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. A prior conviction within 10 years for hit and run or DUI can raise the charge to a Class A misdemeanor or a third-degree felony.
Class A Misdemeanor: Injury (§ 41-6a-401.3)
Leaving the scene of an accident where a person suffered non-serious injuries, or failing to render required aid, is a Class A misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is 364 days in jail. The court must impose a fine of at least $700 and either at least 2 days in jail or at least 48 hours of compensatory service (§ 41-6a-401.8).
This classification applies when injuries exist but do not rise to the level of "serious bodily injury" as defined by Utah law.
When Hit and Run Is a Felony
Utah elevates hit and run to a felony when serious bodily injury or death results, and also based on certain prior convictions.
Serious Bodily Injury (§ 41-6a-401.3)
If the accident results in serious bodily injury and you leave the scene, the offense is a third-degree felony. Utah defines serious bodily injury as bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, extreme physical pain, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.
The penalty is up to 5 years in prison with a minimum fine of $800. If you have a prior conviction under the same statute, leaving the scene of a serious-bodily-injury accident becomes a second-degree felony.
Death (§ 41-6a-401.3)
If the accident results in a death and you leave the scene, the offense is a second-degree felony. The penalty is 1 to 15 years in prison with a minimum fine of $800.
Under § 41-6a-401.3(8), the driver is guilty of a separate offense for each victim who suffers injury or death because of the violation. This means that an accident injuring multiple people can result in multiple felony charges.
Automobile Homicide (§ 76-5-207)
Automobile homicide is a separate second-degree felony charge, punishable by 5 to 15 years in prison, that applies when a driver negligently causes death while:
- Having a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.05 grams or greater
- Being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination to a degree that renders the person incapable of safely operating a vehicle
This charge can be filed alongside hit and run charges, compounding the potential prison time.
The Knowledge Requirement
Utah's hit and run statutes turn on what you knew or had reason to believe. This is an important element that affects both prosecution and defense.
The statute defines "knowledge" as being aware of the nature of your conduct or the circumstances surrounding it. "Reason to believe" means information from which a reasonable person would conclude they may have been involved in an accident.
If you did not know and had no reason to believe you were involved in an accident, you may not meet the legal threshold for a hit and run charge. However, courts look at the totality of the circumstances. Evidence such as impact force, vehicle damage, noise, and witness testimony can establish that a reasonable person would have known about the collision.
Reporting Requirements
Contact law enforcement immediately by the quickest means available if the accident involves injury or death, or apparent property damage of $2,500 or more (§§ 41-6a-401(4) and 41-6a-401.7(2)).
Under Utah Code § 41-6a-402, the Department of Public Safety may also require a driver in an accident involving death, injury, or apparent property damage of $2,500 or more to file a written report within 10 days after the department requests it.
If the driver of an injury or death accident is physically unable to give the immediate notice, an occupant of that vehicle who is able to must give it.
Failing to file a required accident report is an infraction, separate from any hit and run charges, and the department must suspend the driver's license until the report is filed.
Utah Crash Statistics
According to data from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and Department of Public Safety, traffic safety trends show both progress and concerning patterns.
- 2025: 264 traffic fatalities statewide, the lowest since 2019 (248 fatalities)
- 2024: 277 fatalities, with July being the deadliest month on record (49 fatal crashes causing 54 deaths)
- 2023: 279 fatalities statewide
Despite the overall decline, several categories saw troubling increases in 2025:
- Teen fatalities nearly doubled from 18 in 2024 to 31 in 2025
- Motorcycle deaths rose 32%, from 53 to 70 fatalities
- Senior fatalities increased 43%, from 37 to 53 deaths
UDOT and DPS continue to emphasize driver responsibility and safety awareness campaigns, particularly targeting the summer months when fatal crashes peak.
Utah's No-Fault Insurance System
Utah is a no-fault insurance state. After an accident, you file a claim under your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage regardless of who was at fault.
How PIP Works
Utah requires auto policies to include PIP coverage (Utah Code § 31A-22-302), with a minimum of $3,000 per person in medical benefits under § 31A-22-307. PIP covers:
- Medical bills resulting from accident injuries
- Lost wages (the lesser of $250 per week or 85% of gross lost income)
- Household services you cannot perform due to your injuries
- Funeral, burial, or cremation expenses if the accident causes death
PIP coverage applies to the policyholder, passengers in the vehicle, and pedestrians or bicyclists injured in the accident.
When You Can Sue the At-Fault Driver
Utah's no-fault system limits lawsuits, but you retain the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver when your damages exceed your PIP coverage limits. You may also sue for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering in cases involving serious injury. When a hit and run leaves you with damages beyond your PIP limits, ask a Utah car accident lawyer for a free claim review of a suit against the driver or an uninsured motorist claim (attorney advertising).
Statute of Limitations for Civil Claims
- Personal injury claims: 4 years from the date of the accident
- Property damage claims: 3 years from the date of the accident
- Wrongful death claims: 2 years from the date of death
Possible Defenses to Hit and Run Charges
Utah's knowledge standard creates several potential defenses. The prosecution must prove you knew, or had reason to believe, that you may have been involved in an accident.
- Lack of knowledge: You were genuinely unaware that an accident occurred. This defense is strongest when the collision was minor and occurred in noisy traffic conditions.
- No reason to believe: Even if an accident occurred, you had no information that would cause a reasonable person to believe they were involved in a collision.
- Fear for safety: You reasonably believed that remaining at the scene would endanger your life. You must still notify law enforcement as soon as possible.
- Left to seek help: You departed to find emergency assistance or to transport an injured person to a hospital. Utah law specifically permits this.
- Mistaken identity: You were not the driver, or the vehicle identified was not the one involved in the accident.
- No injury or damage: The other party suffered no injury and no property was damaged.
If you left the scene, contact law enforcement immediately. Voluntarily reporting within six hours of the accident prevents enhancements based on prior convictions (though not those based on injury or death). Prompt reporting and cooperation can help demonstrate that your departure was not a willful attempt to evade responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Utah a no-fault state for car insurance?
Yes. Utah is a no-fault insurance state. After an accident, you file a claim under your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage regardless of who was at fault. Utah requires a minimum of $3,000 in PIP coverage. However, you retain the right to sue the at-fault driver when damages exceed your PIP limits.
What if I did not know I was involved in an accident?
Lack of knowledge is a potential defense under Utah law. The duty to stop applies when you knew, or had reason to believe, that you may have been involved in an accident. If you were genuinely unaware and had no reason to believe you were involved in a collision, you may not be guilty of hit and run. If you learn of the accident only after leaving, you must immediately comply with the stop-and-report duties as nearly as possible.
How long do I have to report an accident in Utah?
You must notify law enforcement immediately if the accident involves injury, death, or apparent property damage of $2,500 or more. Under Utah Code § 41-6a-402, the Department of Public Safety may also require a written report, which is due within 10 days after the department requests it.
Can I leave the scene to take an injured person to the hospital?
Yes. Utah law specifically permits you to transport an injured person to a physician or hospital if the victim requests it or if the need for treatment is apparent. This does not constitute leaving the scene as long as you report the accident promptly afterward.
What is the statute of limitations for civil claims after a hit and run in Utah?
In Utah, you have 4 years to file a personal injury claim, 3 years for property damage, and 2 years for a wrongful death claim (starting from the date of death). Missing these deadlines bars you from pursuing compensation through the courts.
