What a Utah Automobile Tort Filing Shows

An automobile tort filing in Utah names the injured plaintiff and the defendant, and shows the plaintiff's attorney. In all 15 cases we opened, the plaintiff had one. The defendant had none listed yet. That is the main fact to know about this category before you read anything else.

How does the court define it?

The case type list describes an automobile tort as "a case involving personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death resulting from alleged negligent operation."

What did the filings show?

  • Plaintiff attorney: present in 15 of 15 cases. Cases with several plaintiffs, such as a family, listed an attorney for each plaintiff.
  • Defendant: no attorney listed in any, which is common at filing because defendants are served afterward.
  • Fee line: "complaint, no amount stated" in the cases we opened, so the record does not give a claim size.
  • Addresses: present for both parties in one case (the plaintiff lived in Texas) and blank for both in another.

How many are filed?

In our own review of one sample week (September 28 to October 2, 2026), automobile tort cases ran roughly 18 to 36 statewide. That is our observation of one week, not a published statistic.

Who is the lead?

The plaintiff. Every lead in this category is marked as already having an attorney, and you can still send mail to them through Revenue Spark. See how personal injury leads are marked and mailed.
