Drunk-Driver Crashes — Orem, Utah.
A focused practice. A Orem jury in mind.
DUI-caused crashes. Criminal case is separate — we pursue the civil recovery. If your crash happened in Orem or anywhere in Utah County, Metler Law can take it from here.
What a drunk-driver crashes in Orem usually looks like.
Orem sits in Utah County, with traffic patterns that funnel through a short list of high-incident corridors: I-15 between mileposts 269 and 273 and University Parkway (SR-265), plus 5 more. We've worked crashes on each of them.
When a drunk-driver crashes happens in or near Northridge, Suncrest, Cherry Hill, 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 Timpanogos Regional Hospital 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 Utah County jury at 4th District Court — Provo.
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 drunk-driver crashes in Orem.
University Parkway & State Street (US-89)
This intersection routinely lands on UDOT's list of the busiest signalized crossings in the state. The volume from UVU plus retail traffic to University Mall produces a steady stream of left-turn T-bones and rear-end pile-ups, especially during shift change and the evening commute.
My crash was on University Parkway in Orem — do I need a different attorney than for a Provo crash?+
No. Both cities sit in Utah County, and your case will be filed in the 4th District Court in Provo. We handle Orem and Provo cases identically; the city the crash happened in only changes which police department's records we order.
Where do most Orem accident cases get medical treatment?+
Timpanogos Regional Hospital on 800 North handles most Orem ER traffic, and Utah Valley Hospital in Provo handles trauma. We routinely coordinate with both records departments to assemble billing for negotiation or trial.
What's special about the University & State intersection?+
Two things. First, it's a high-volume four-phase signal, so signal-timing data from UDOT often becomes evidence. Second, both Orem PD and UDOT have studied the corridor, which means crash-reconstruction baselines exist that don't exist for most intersections.
I was hit by a UVU student driving on a parent's out-of-state policy. Does that matter?+
It matters for coverage analysis. Out-of-state minimum policies are often half of Utah's already-low minimums, so we always check your own UIM (underinsured motorist) coverage in case the at-fault policy can't cover your injuries.
Does it matter if my crash was on the Orem side of I-15 instead of Provo?+
For the case itself, no — Utah Highway Patrol works the freeway in both cities and the venue is the same. For the police report, it changes which agency we order from. We handle that paperwork on day one.
