More accident evidence for eligible requesters
Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah accident reports include more investigation materials that eligible requesters can seek. These include witness statements or recordings, ambulance medical records or bills, photos, and supplemental reports. Body-camera and dash-camera video are also included. This broader definition does not make the records open to everyone.
Lawyers get crash records with limits
Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah law requires police agencies to give qualifying lawyers accident records without information removed. Lawyers must be formally hired for a related civil or criminal matter preparing for, or already in, litigation or trial. They must request records in writing, pay agency fees, and provide a letter confirming representation and evidence-only use. Agencies need not release information barred by other law and can remove video unrelated to the accident report. Lawyers who share records for another purpose face liability and penalties for unlawful disclosure.
