Utah County · Truck & Semi Collisions
Truck Accident Lawyer in LehiLocal Help, Statewide Strength
Semi-trucks roll through Lehi around the clock — down the Point of the Mountain on I-15, through Silicon Slopes construction zones, and along State Street. When one of them causes a crash, you are suddenly up against a trucking company with lawyers on call. Our Lehi office puts an experienced Utah truck accident team on your side from the first phone call.
Why Lehi
Truck Accidents on Lehi's Roads
Lehi sits on one of the heaviest freight corridors in the state: I-15 between Salt Lake County and Utah County. Where the interstate climbs and narrows at the Point of the Mountain, sudden speed changes, lane shifts, and construction cones put loaded semis just feet from commuter traffic — and rear-end and lane-change truck crashes follow.
Lehi’s growth adds a second layer of risk. Silicon Slopes construction keeps dump trucks, concrete mixers, and heavy equipment moving on Pioneer Crossing, SR-92, and 2100 North all day, sharing signalized intersections with school traffic and commuters.
Our office at 441 W Main St, Suite C puts us minutes from these roads. Utah County truck cases are generally handled in Utah’s Fourth Judicial District Court, and we know the local intersections, the local adjusters, and what a Lehi jury expects a trucking company to answer for.
High-Risk Routes Near Lehi
- I-15 / Point of the Mountain: Utah’s busiest freight corridor climbs and narrows here — sudden slowdowns make it a rear-end hotspot for loaded semis.
- Pioneer Crossing (SR-145): A major east–west truck route between I-15 and Saratoga Springs, mixing heavy trucks with commuter and school traffic.
- SR-92 (Timpanogos Highway): Silicon Slopes construction traffic puts dump trucks and semis alongside fast-moving passenger cars.
- US-89 / State Street: The old highway through Lehi carries delivery trucks through signalized intersections where turning collisions are common.
Common Causes
Types of Semi-Truck Accidents in Lehi
Identifying the cause is the first step to proving liability. These are the patterns we see most often in and around Lehi.
Rear-End Collisions
Congestion at the Point of the Mountain leaves loaded semis too little stopping distance when I-15 traffic suddenly slows.
Construction-Zone Crashes
Lane shifts, cones, and merging equipment around Silicon Slopes projects create constant conflict points with heavy trucks.
Blind-Spot & Lane-Change Crashes
Trucks changing lanes on I-15’s grades can sweep cars riding in their no-zones off the road.
Intersection Collisions
Delivery and construction trucks running State Street and Pioneer Crossing signals cause T-bone and left-turn crashes.
Underride Accidents
A passenger car that slides under a trailer in sudden stop-and-go traffic can leave catastrophic injuries.
Driver Fatigue
Long-haul drivers pushing the I-15 corridor past federal hours-of-service limits are a leading cause of serious crashes.

Questions
Lehi Truck Accident FAQ
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Lehi?
Utah generally allows four years from the date of the crash for a personal injury claim (Utah Code § 78B-2-307) and two years for wrongful death. If a government entity is involved, a notice of claim may be required within one year. The evidence that wins truck cases — driver logs, black-box data — can disappear within weeks, so it pays to act quickly.
Where would my Lehi truck accident case be filed?
Most Lehi cases fall under Utah’s Fourth Judicial District Court, which serves Utah County. Many claims settle before a lawsuit is ever filed — but we prepare every case as if it is going to trial, because that is what makes insurers pay full value.
Do you have an office in Lehi?
Yes. We are at 441 W Main St, Suite C in Lehi. Consultations are free, and if your injuries make travel difficult, we will come to you.
The trucking company’s insurer already called me. What should I do?
Do not give a recorded statement or accept an early offer before talking to a lawyer. Adjusters move fast in truck cases precisely because the exposure is large. Let us handle those calls — for free — while you focus on treatment.
What is my Lehi truck accident case worth?
It depends on your injuries, your losses, and how clearly fault can be proven. Truck policies carry far higher limits than car policies — federal law requires $750,000 to $5 million in coverage — which is exactly why trucking insurers fight harder. A free case review is the fastest way to an honest answer.
