Distracted Driver Crashes — Park City, Utah.
A focused practice. A Park City jury in mind.
Texting, navigation, in-car screens — we subpoena phone records to prove it. If your crash happened in Park City or anywhere in Summit County, Metler Law can take it from here.
What a distracted driver crashes in Park City usually looks like.
Park City sits in Summit County, with traffic patterns that funnel through a short list of high-incident corridors: I-80 at Kimball Junction (exit 145) and US-40 toward Heber, plus 1 more. We've worked crashes on each of them.
When a distracted driver crashes happens in or near Old Town, Park Meadows, Prospector, the early decisions matter. Where you treat, what you tell the other driver's insurer, and whether scene evidence (camera footage, witness statements, vehicle data) is preserved in time will shape the value of the claim more than any negotiation later.
Metler Law handles those early decisions for you. We coordinate with the Park City Hospital (Intermountain) and other treating providers, document the file the way the carrier's defense team will read it, and prepare every case as if it's going to a Summit County jury at 3rd District Court — Silver Summit.
You don't need to know which insurance policy applies. You don't need to know whether your case is worth filing. That's our job — and we tell you the answer for free, before you sign anything.

Common questions about distracted driver crashes in Park City.
Kimball Junction interchange (I-80 exit 145)
Kimball Junction is the busiest interchange in Summit County and the funnel for nearly all Park City visitor traffic. Snow-day pile-ups, weekend tourist congestion, and the long-cycle SR-224 signals just south of the interchange combine to produce the highest concentration of crashes in the area.
I'm an out-of-state visitor who got hit in Park City — can I still pursue a Utah claim?+
Yes. The case is governed by Utah law because the crash happened in Utah. You don't have to live here to file. We've handled cases for clients from across the country and Canada and can do most of the work remotely.
My rental car was totaled — do I sue the rental company too?+
Usually not. Recovery for property damage and injury comes from the at-fault driver's insurance (or your own UM coverage). The rental company is rarely a defendant unless there's a maintenance or vehicle-defect issue.
Where will my Park City case be filed?+
In the 3rd District Court — Silver Summit Justice Center. That's the Summit County branch.
What if I was airlifted to Intermountain Medical Center?+
Common in serious Park City crashes. The flight cost (often $30k+) is a billable medical expense recoverable from the at-fault driver. We coordinate billing and lien resolution with both Park City Hospital and IMC.
How long do I have to file?+
Four years for personal injury under Utah law. Don't wait, though — weather records, ski-resort camera footage, and rental-company GPS data all decay or get overwritten quickly.
