Centerville's Most Dangerous Roads

The page draws on every crash in UDOT's public file located within Centerville's limits from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, the most recent date available. Each crash is placed on the street where it was plotted, with the road named in the officer's report breaking close calls. I-15 and its ramps are counted apart, Legacy Parkway is included in the street total without a rank, and parking-lot crashes are excluded from street figures. Serious or fatal means a reported death or suspected serious injury.

Centerville had 2,568 crashes in all. 1,029 were on I-15 or its ramps, 40.1% of the total, nearly double the 21.4% across the seven counties in this data. 36 were on private property and 17 lacked a usable location, leaving 1,486 street crashes. 27 were serious or fatal (1.8%, against 2.6% regionally) and 5 people died. Some injury, including possible injury, was reported in 24.3%; only five of the 57 cities measured report injury less often.

Utah Rules That Shape a Centerville Claim

Under Utah's no-fault rules, your own personal injury protection covers at least $3,000 of medical expenses no matter who was at fault (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). Pain and other general damages can be claimed from the driver responsible only once the injury crosses the § 31A-22-309 threshold, such as a fracture, permanent impairment or medical bills above $3,000; the threshold does not limit an uninsured motorist claim. A driver who flees and is never found is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Any fault assigned to you reduces the recovery, which is available only if the others' combined fault is greater (§ 78B-5-818). Most injury cases must be filed within four years (§ 78B-2-307), while a claim that a city or UDOT road was unsafe requires written notice within one year (§ 63G-7-402).

Compensation Categories

• Financial losses: medical and hospital bills, therapy, prescriptions, missed paychecks and vehicle repair or replacement.
• Non-economic losses: pain, anxiety behind the wheel and the everyday activities an injury takes away.
• Future needs: treatment still to come, reduced ability to work and in-home help after a lasting injury.
