A fatal crash or a failed brake part can cut that window in half, and a city-owned truck triggers a written notice deadline of just one year. Meanwhile, surgery, therapy, and missed paychecks can consume months before a court date ever crosses your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trucking companies and their insurers know how long you have to file a truck accident claim, and every month you wait works in their favor. At <strong>Lance Bingham, abogados de lesiones personales de Utah<\/strong>, we identify each deadline that applies to your crash and move to protect your claim well before those dates arrive. You can call us today to learn exactly where your claim stands.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"div_block-2-1146\" class=\"ct-div-block cta-container\" ><div id=\"div_block-3-11462\" class=\"ct-div-block\" ><div id=\"div_block-8-1146\" class=\"ct-div-block\" ><div id=\"text_block-5-1146\" class=\"ct-text-block\" >No enfrentes el proceso legal solo<\/div><div id=\"text_block-6-1146\" class=\"ct-text-block\" > Recibe asesoramiento confiable desde el primer d\u00eda.<\/div><a id=\"link_button-7-1146\" class=\"ct-link-button cta-yellow-button\" href=\"tel:+18018696800\" target=\"_self\"  >Llame hoy mismo al 801-869-6800<\/a><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-4-1146\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/imgi_1_lance-bingham-logo-2022-4.png\" class=\"ct-image top-trans-logo\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-17-1146\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rectangle-7323-2.png\" class=\"ct-image\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-19-1146\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rectangle-7322-2.png\" class=\"ct-image\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-20-1146\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rectangle-7324-2.png\" class=\"ct-image\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-21-1146\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rectangle-7325-3.png\" class=\"ct-image\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long You Have to File a Truck Accident Claim for Your Injuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S307.html\">Secci\u00f3n 78B-2-307 del C\u00f3digo de Utah<\/a> allows four years for claims that no more specific statute covers, which is the deadline most injury lawsuits against a negligent driver or carrier face. The same section allows four years for vehicle and personal property damage from a motor vehicle accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En el interior <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S102.html\">Section 78B-2-102<\/a>, a limitation period runs only after the cause of action accrues, which is the legal term for when a claim arises. If your claim arose on the day of an October 2026 collision on I-80, the four-year period would run to October 2030. We confirm that starting date early because every other calculation depends on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting the deadline requires a lawsuit, not an insurance claim. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.utcourts.gov\/rules\/view.php?type=urcp&amp;rule=3\">Rule 3 of the state\u2019s civil procedure rules<\/a>, a civil action begins when you file a complaint with the court or when you serve a summons along with the complaint. Months of phone calls with an adjuster do not start a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shorter Deadlines for Fatal Crashes and Defective Truck Parts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two common truck crash situations carry half the standard four years. Knowing which one applies shapes every decision that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal Truck Crash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a truck crash takes a life, the family\u2019s timeline tightens. <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S304.html\">Section 78B-2-304<\/a> allows two years for an action to recover damages for a death caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another. We treat that deadline as urgent from the first conversation with a grieving family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A different rule applies when an injured person dies before the deadline expires and the injury claim survives. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S105.html\">Section 78B-2-105<\/a>, that person\u2019s representatives may file within the later of the original deadline or one year after the day the person died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families pursuing <a href=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/es\/abogado-de-accidentes-de-camiones-en-salt-lake-city\/accidente-fatal-de-camion\/\">fatal truck accident claims<\/a> can face both deadlines at once, and our team tracks both from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brake, Tire, and Equipment Failures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some truck crashes start with a failed part, not a careless driver. Brakes, tires, and steering components on a loaded rig carry enormous stress, and one defect can turn a routine stop into a jackknife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Product defect claims follow their own clock. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter6\/78B-6-S706.html\">Section 78B-6-706<\/a>, a product liability action must be brought within two years from when the injured person discovered, or with due diligence should have discovered, both the harm and its cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That wording ties the deadline to what was known and when, so we move quickly to have the truck and its components inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Government and Federal Trucks Follow Separate Notice Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snowplows, garbage trucks, and mail trucks belong to public agencies that follow claim procedures private carriers never use. One missed step can matter more than any crash fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>City, County, and State Vehicles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A crash with a city garbage truck or a state snowplow brings Utah\u2019s Governmental Immunity Act into play. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title63G\/Chapter7\/63G-7-S401.html\">Section 63G-7-401<\/a>, anyone with a claim against a government entity or its on-duty employee must file a written notice of claim before starting a lawsuit. That notice must briefly state the facts, the nature of the claim, and the known damages, and it must be delivered to the office designated by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claims against a public entity follow a strict sequence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify the responsible entity. Confirm exactly which city, county, district, or state agency owned or operated the truck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File the notice within one year. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title63G\/Chapter7\/63G-7-S402.html\">Section 63G-7-402<\/a>, a claim is barred unless you file the notice of claim within one year after the claim arises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait out the response period. <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title63G\/Chapter7\/63G-7-S403.html\">Section 63G-7-403<\/a> prohibits filing a lawsuit until 60 days after you file the notice of claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start the lawsuit within two years. The same section requires the action to begin within two years after the claim arises.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a county dump truck sideswipes your car and the claim arises that day, you must file the notice within one year rather than four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Postal Service and Other Federal Trucks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En el interior <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title28-section2401&amp;num=0&amp;edition=prelim\">28 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 2401<\/a>, a tort claim against the United States is barred unless presented in writing to the right federal agency within two years after it accrues. A tort is a civil wrong that causes harm, such as a negligent crash. If the agency mails a final denial by certified or registered mail, the lawsuit must begin within six months of that mailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-39\/chapter-I\/subchapter-N\/part-912\">Title 39 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 912<\/a> applies the federal tort claim rules to claims arising from Postal Service activities. A crash with a postal delivery truck therefore falls under the same two-year presentation deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure who owned the truck that hit you? Call Lance Bingham Utah Personal Injury Lawyers at (801) 869-6800, and we will start identifying the owner and every deadline tied to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When the Clock Pauses or Starts Later<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These exceptions turn on specific facts, so we calculate every deadline as if no pause applies until the evidence proves otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following situations can change the timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Injured children and incapacitated adults. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S108.html\">Section 78B-2-108<\/a>, the statute of limitations does not run while an injured person is under 18 or is mentally incompetent without a legal guardian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government owners you could not identify. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title63G\/Chapter7\/63G-7-S401.html\">Section 63G-7-401<\/a>, a claim against a government entity does not arise until you knew, or with reasonable diligence should have known, about the claim and the entity\u2019s identity. You carry the burden of proving that diligence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minors hurt by government vehicles. The same section lets a government entity ask a court to appoint a guardian ad litem, a representative for an injured minor. If the court does, the one-year notice period begins when it issues the appointment order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defendants beyond the reach of state courts. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title78B\/Chapter2\/78B-2-S104.html\">Section 78B-2-104<\/a>, time a defendant spends outside the state counts toward the deadline unless a separate statute says state courts lack jurisdiction over that person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 15-year-old passenger hurt in a tractor-trailer crash, for example, keeps the clock paused until turning 18, although a government notice period could begin sooner if a guardian ad litem is appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Waiting Until Year Three Weakens a Truck Accident Claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lawsuit filed in the final months before a deadline can still be timely, but the case behind it may be thinner. Driver records, vehicle data, and witness memories do not wait for a filing date, and the trucking company controls much of that evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/es\/blog\/cuando-consultar-a-un-abogado-en-caso-de-accidente-de-camion\/\">when to consult a lawyer after a truck accident<\/a> explains which records tend to disappear first. Starting early also leaves room to add a defendant, such as a maintenance shop or parts maker, if the investigation points to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Lance Bingham Utah Personal Injury Lawyers, our <a href=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/es\/abogado-de-accidentes-de-camiones-en-salt-lake-city\/\">abogados de accidentes de camiones<\/a> build your timeline in the first days after a Utah truck crash, not the last months before a deadline. We push back on carriers that try to run out the clock with slow reviews and endless paperwork requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Utah Truck Accident Claim Deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does negotiating with the trucking company\u2019s insurer stop the filing deadline?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Negotiations do not start a lawsuit, and a case begins only when a complaint is filed, or a summons is served with the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I still file if the truck driver lives outside Utah?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but do not count on extra time. Time the driver spends outside the state counts toward the deadline unless state courts lack jurisdiction over that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long does my family have to file after a fatal truck crash in Utah?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wrongful death action generally must be filed within two years. Contact us early so we can also review any claims belonging to the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does a crash with a city garbage truck follow the four-year deadline?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. You must file a written notice of claim within one year after the claim arises, and you must file the lawsuit within two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When does the deadline start if my teenager was hurt in a truck crash?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statute of limitations does not run while your child is under 18. A government notice deadline can start sooner if a court appoints a guardian ad litem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do defective brakes on the truck change my deadline?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can. A product liability claim must be filed within two years after the harm and its cause were discovered or with due diligence should have been.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"div_block-2-1144\" class=\"ct-div-block cta-container\" ><div id=\"div_block-3-1144\" class=\"ct-div-block cta-mid-8-f\" ><div id=\"new_columns-8-1144\" class=\"ct-new-columns\" ><div id=\"div_block-9-1144\" class=\"ct-div-block\" ><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-17-1144\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rectangle-7067-1.png\" class=\"ct-image\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/><div id=\"text_block-14-1144\" class=\"ct-text-block\" >Una llamada puede cambiar todo<\/div><div id=\"text_block-6-1144v\" class=\"ct-text-block\" >Proteja sus derechos ahora.<\/div><\/div><div id=\"div_block-10-1144\" class=\"ct-div-block\" ><img decoding=\"async\"  id=\"image-4-1144\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/imgi_1_lance-bingham-logo-2022-4.png\" class=\"ct-image top-trans-logo\" srcset-disabled=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><a id=\"link_button-7-1144\" class=\"ct-link-button cta-yellow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lancebingham.com\/es\/contacto\/\"   >Obtenga su consulta legal gratuita<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a Free Case Evaluation Before Your Truck Accident Claim Deadline Passes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A state snowplow, a postal truck, and a private tractor-trailer can each carry a different filing deadline after a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attorneys Dustin Lance and Cole Bingham bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to serious injury claims.
