Three steps
How this works for Sandy residents
Same three steps everywhere in Utah. No obligation at any point, and a person makes every decision that matters.
- 01
Tell Sofia what happened
Start with plain language, in your own words. Sofia is an automated assistant that asks short, practical questions about the accident — when, where, what vehicles, what has happened since.
Step 1 of 3 - 02
Organize facts and records
Your answers become an ordered summary: dates, the police report, vehicles, insurers you have heard from, and treatment you have received. Nothing is decided at this stage — it is a clean record of the facts.
Step 2 of 3 - 03
Attorney review and next steps
If a Utah law firm accepts the matter for review, an attorney decides whether to speak with you. Any decision to take a case, sign an agreement, or settle anything is made by people, not software.
Step 3 of 3
Local character
Canyon traffic and big events
In winter, ski traffic heads through Sandy toward the canyons, where UDOT can require traction devices. Events at the Mountain America Expo Center and America First Field bring big crowds too.
Community story
Note the weather
For a winter accident, write down the road surface, whether it was snowing, any traction notices and your tires. Those facts fade quickly.
Car and truck accidents
Help after a car or truck accident in Sandy
Car accidents
Two drivers, many details
Rear-end, left-turn and intersection accidents make up most everyday accidents. The useful facts are simple: time, place, the report number, the insurers involved, and every place you have been seen for treatment.
How the three steps workCommercial trucks
More parties, more records
A commercial truck accident can involve a driver, a carrier and sometimes a shipper or maintenance company. Note the company name on the truck and any DOT number you saw.

Common questions after a Sandy accident
General information only — not legal advice about your situation.

Road surface, weather, any traction-law notices, your tires and whether plows had been through.
Who has the report for a crash in Sandy?
City streets are usually Sandy Police; I-15 is usually the Utah Highway Patrol. Canyon highways may be UHP or another agency; check the paperwork.
What medical records should I keep track of?
