The evidence that decides injury claims
- Photos of the hazard and the scene — before it's repaired, cleaned, or melted away.
- An incident report — made to the business or property manager, with a copy or reference number.
- Medical records from day one — gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.
- What you were wearing — footwear matters in fall cases; keep it unaltered.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses as they happen.

Why quick action matters in Utah
Utah generally allows four years from the date of injury for most personal injury lawsuits — longer than many states — but wrongful death is two years, and claims involving a government entity require a written notice of claim within one year under the Governmental Immunity Act. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
